The Stupid Christmas Thread

[renaeden]

Here in Australia, Lowe's is a men's clothing shop.  Is it for plants and hardware there? If so, it's like our Bunnings.

You did well.

I ended up with a lot of chocolates.

Yeah, Lowes is a giant home improvement store and they also have a garden center. It's just like Home Depot, if you've ever heard of them.

Yep, I've heard of Home Depot.

We have two Bunnings in our town alone. They're famous for having sausage sizzles out the front of their stores.

I looked up Bunnings online, and the outside reminds me a lot of Lowes. They use the same color scheme and both have a house rooftop shape at the entrance. Since Bunnings has been around longer, I wonder if Lowes copied their curb appeal.

Because you looked up Bunnings, I looked up Lowe's. I saw a store with lots of plants in the front. Their main colour seems to be blue. Their workers wear everyday clothes with a vest on top, unlike Bunnings workers who wear a uniform shirt with a safety vest.

Also, Lowe's sells indoor furniture whereas Bunnings only sells outdoor furniture. I think Lowe's is bigger with more variety.

I got books.

[renaeden]

I got books.

What kind of books?

My book was about two sisters, one autistic (though they never say "autism" in the story), the other not. The non autistic sister can't fall pregnant so the autistic sister decides to have a baby for her.

The latest Ian Rankin, Bob Woodward's Rage, Obama's little effort...

Reading other stuff at the moment but I'll get there eventually.

Oh, we also got a holiday greenery centerpiece with an LED candle in the middle of it. We receive one each year. Sugarbutt said I should water it, but I said no because if I water it then it will last for three months. It's beautiful but I don't want to look at it for that long.

I got something like that as a wedding present long ago. It lasted a very long time.

My wife is downstairs putting up the christmas trees.  And yes that is "trees" plural.  She has gone and bought another one because a single tree isn't christmassy enough.

Hey man, thanks for resurrecting my stupid Christmas thread. I though about it the other day but was worried it might be too early.
  Sorry I can't really plus you.

I don't know if you've ever had to be with a woman who isn't excited about the impending doom of Christmas, but yeah be grateful for those tree(s).
