Aaaah!

The creepiest damned thing just happened. I got carolled. Little children knocked on my door, and started singing Christmas songs. I've lived in this house for (takes about half an hour to do the math) nineteen years, and nothing like this has happened before!

I'm not even Christian!

What the hell are you supposed to do when that happens? Obviously, you can't slam the door on children, but I was stuck without knowing what my role was. My face is still red with embarressment.

Oy Ve!

You are supposed to listen to the song and then tell them how nice it sounded. Then the kids get happy. If you don't feel like listening you can just be like, "I like how your song sounds, but I'm right in the middle of taking a dump right now. See you later."

I'm stealing that forever.

Do the Addams Family method. Boiling oil.


I bet if you got that televised, Crisco would be happy to be your corporate sponser.

Recipe for "Kaz's Sure Fire Kid Carolercide."

Step 1. Find a reasonably large sheet of construction paper, cardboard, or similar.

Step 2. Find a reasonably wide marker of some sort.

Step 3. Write on paper/cardboard:


Step 4. Point at parents accompanying carolers.

Step 5. Return to your binniss.

These suggestions make sense. But they are missing a key ingredient: Robots.

I believe tradition also dictates dispensing a pudding of some sort. Involving figs, I think. Therefore, I propose the use of robot figgy pudding dispensers, who reveal the Truth about The Fat Man to the children caroling, while dousing them with boiling oil.

I assume this is a serious question and that you would like a serious answer. Hopefully my opinion will help a little if it happens again.

I can appreciate you not being a Christian and feeling funny. As a Christian I am truly sorry that you were made to feel uncomfortable but simply ask you to remember that even if you do not celebrate Christmas, the children were trying to do something nice for you by singing their songs only in hopes of making you and your family happy and to possibly bring a little Christmas joy to your life. .

My suggestion is to take it in the spirit it was given. I would say to listen to the music politely even if you are not fond of Christmas Carols and when finished smile and simply wish the children a Merry Christmas. Something that you do not have to be a Christian or even celebrate Christmas to do.

You just blew me away Billy

Awww... ty Tya!

*me blushes*

I just dropped you a pic in SL... dont think you find to many of these publically displayed in a sim The real meaning of Christmas

Eh -- I am a pretty relaxed person, especially in the face of events/what-have-you that some people get really touchy about. I mean, sure, I was red-faced, and felt like I was in the Twilight Zone, but I smiled, and gave shouts of thankyou and Merry Christmas.

It was just -- wow -- surreal! You see this sort of thing happening in all the feel good movies, but you just never expect people from central New Jersey to actually go out and sing to their neighbors. Quirky, and odd, but also somewhat admirable. Those little kids have courage.





I am now scared of logging back in


Edit!:

I couldn't find that pic you sent, Tya. I'm guessing the Post Office is backed up due to the holidays...

As far as I could tell, She of the Amazingly Gorgeous Sim was talking to Billy about the pic...

I should like to know of this anti-door-slamming law you speak of. It's easy to slam doors, especially if they are your own. Why I remember the Spider-Man cartoon from when I was a child, in which J. Jonah Jameson showed everyone his authority by continuously slamming his door on Betty Brant and Peter Parker. That took guts (and about four animation frames-- Mr. Bakshi was either efficient, lazy or cheap).
