That's always the most manly way to deal with Xmas.

I was in Sainsburys the other day and they were stocking up various items of glistening red and green along with some faux trees.

A quick trip to the spirits section armed us with everything we needed, along with a few gaspers from the tobacco counter. Most trees burn nicely for a good few minutes before anyone actually stops to do anything about it. Many customers trip naked and start dancing around the bonfire with glee.

Added bonus points can be gained by flying drop-kicking any staff approaching with the intent of putting it out.

That's just my personal slant on things anyway

If I walk into a store before December and see Christmas trees I walk straight out.

Worked in a Supermarket many years ago at the age of 17 when Christmas started on the first of December. Still think I suffered post traumatic stress syndrome from three weeks of 'Xmas' 'muzak'

I still feel aggressive if I hear a crappy rendition of ding dong merrily on high

If it had started in October I dread to think what would have happened

Plastic should burn nicely once lit Giving off lovely noxious fumes, damaging the stores stock of christmas tat and killing off their trade (flammable trees)...that'll teach 'em


This may not be a good time to mention my police record of setting fire to stuff
