Next Tuesday's (Christmas Day's) Top Ten

Zingers2

 

I was having trouble coming up with a Top Ten appropriate for Christmas Day when we moved Chinese restaurants to the week before, but then it occurred to me that there are plenty of people to whom Christmas Day will be just another Tuesday, only with Chinese food, and they are the ones most likely to be reading my blog. (Of course, I'm hoping I'm wrong and that everyone will be wondering about the holiday meal I'm cooking, and how it went, and so on.)

But in any case, I think you'll be amused by the little collection I'm amassing. ...

The day before, when I usually make up my list, is Christmas Eve, so I want you, faithful readers, to do the work.

You may remember that we've already done the Top Ten funniest comments. This will be my Top Ten collection of zingers. These are comments that come out of the blue, as when your mother-in-law says unexpectedly, "My poor dear, you're going bald" when you're not really.

I'm closing the eligibility window as of now, so don't try to make my list in the next few days by posting really mean comments. It won't work.

Sounds like it will be very amusing!

I am looking forward to hearing about what you are cooking for your holiday meal. Maybe it will give me some inspiration. I still haven't settled on my menu.

After the Chinese restaurant, why are they open on Christmas Day postings I cannot wait to see this list! Things have been getting hot lately; it must be the stress from shopping and repeatedly sliding that credit card through the machine.

Oh what fun...lookin' forward to it. Should be a great way to end the year!
