It's midsummer. Summer solstice ( happy solstice btw). It's hot. There's a BBQ just firing up outside. And what advert have I just seen?

And to think I got peeved at Walmart putting up Christmas decoration sales the week before Halloween...

I'm sure companies would come up with a Summer Christmas holiday just because.

I love Christmas, it's my favorite, but... once a year only, please.

We need more large holidays. One every week, just to keep the shops busy. If they are too worked up trying to figure out if this month's 'big thing' is chocolate grenades, floral displays in the shape of spaceships or people dressed as frogs handing out sour candy, then they might spend less time coming up with adverts months in advance of the fact.

Beatlemas. Twig Day. Easter II: The Sequel. Mid-Summer Moogmas.

What catalogue was it? Parks?

Buy now! Remorse later!

Farkin commercialism.

Wait, I know, that will save us from the recession! Christmas! Everyone go spend. You haven't been jolly enough these last five years, thus we suffer.

The Studio one.

Christopher Biggins should be shot - he's waaaay too cheerful.

And I am celebrating a holiday. It's solstice!*gets out the wicker man* Roll up, roll up, step right in for the ride of your life.

I refuse to even consider buying Christmas presents before the twentieth of December.

I don't celebrate Christmas.

Early December, I stock up on as much as I can - tinned goods, packets of food, stuff for the freezer.

As few days before Christmas as I can manage according to opening times and use-by dates, I stock up on bread and milk and other perishables.

And I don't come out 'til January.

Old Man says you are a wicked, wicked woman....and he likes your style

Texas. It's like a whole 'nother country.
/scribbling notes furiously/
Odin's...crusty...
Frigga's...infested...
Hel's...soggy....

I am so using these. Okay if I change Odin to Woden? And I don't think I can use knickers, either. My guys are Angles, after all....

I'll be sure to mention y'all in the acknowledgements.

Don't forget "By the cloudy piss from Thor's leprous Jap's eye!"

You can use that.

Thor's foreskin

Loki's black hearted soul

or my personal favourite which is By Odin's chocolate starfish, but that's probably not going to fit in a historical :D And yeah Woden is just another name for the old bugger.

*fans self*

ETA: maybe a more...historically accurate term would be By Odin's ringpiece?

By the swollen blue ballbags of Mjollnir!

Yes yes I know. Hammers have genitals too.

By Hercules' swollen left nut!

(I felt left out.)


ETA: Me and SP both went for swollen nuts at the same time. That's disturbing.
