During the existence of Santa discussion I told Hermoine that I would quite like coal from Santa so she is working out ways I can be sufficiently naughty to qualify. She did warn me that I may not get coal if I want coal as Santa isn't stupid and if I am not careful he will give me something I really don't want like make-up or perfume to teach me not to be such a smarty pants.
Hermoine is getting a microscope to go with the Chemistry set she got for her birthday.

Ooh. Microscopes are pretty cool. Plenty of free interesting stuff to look at too. Skin flakes, leaves, cells from a swab of your cheek, hair, crystals, dirt, fabrics...0 -

Ok, lazygal said "and santa doesn't have a hissy fit and drown you if you're naughty", pointing out that santa is possibly a little more stable and less psyhopathic than god. You then responded with "... demon helper gives coal to bad children..." To me that seemed like you were engaging in a bit of whataboutery, "well yeah, god drowned pretty much everything on the entire planet but the Eastern European Santa GAVE CHILDREN COAL!!! What a monster."
Apologies if you weren't.
MrP
Apology accepted
but he only gives coal to the bad children. Have to say the kids were petrified when their names were being called out in case they were on the wrong list.
You do realise Santa is based on st Nicholas who was a real person.0 -

Well it'll be a better tree topper than the feckin' silver angel we've had up until now. Bleh.
This is true. I had a star, but it met with an unfortunate heel/treading into ground accident last year. I have yet to come up with the alternative. Perhaps the felt mermaid I have in the window...it being make believe and cutsey too

Is cute. Is better to be a felt mermaid, than a mermaid left unfelt
In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.

He's got four balls :cool: and they're 25mm diameter. I took the first picture on the kitchen floor because I got crap lighting and nasty shadows trying to photograph it next to a wall. The kitchen tiles are 30cm square. I should've included a ruler in the photo
He was really easy to make. I painted the polystyrene balls brown with acrylic paint (ordinary watercolour would do) then put a hole through each one with a skewer and threaded the four of them onto two red tinselly wirey thing (any pasta dish needs sauce) and then it was very easy to construct the rest just twisting the wires together.
The tinselly wires with the eyes on - I bent the ends into a circle around a marker, which was the same size as the googly eyes, then glued them on with contact adhesive.
Have plenty of balls :pac: left and lots of tinselly stuff (I used up all the gold, though!) so I might get the kids to make a couple of smaller ones if they want
Cost (all materials from Euro2) -
2 packets multicoloured tinselly wire - 4 euro (have most of this left)
1 packet foam balls - 2 euro (have six of them left)
Assorted tubes of acrylic paint - 2 euro (have almost all of this left)
1 packet assorted googly eyes - 2 euro (have almost all of these left!)In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.

I'm glad you like Him J C. Of course it's not Him, just a representation of Him, no-one has seen Him.
Once I get the constitution amended, it will be recognised that due homage shall be accorded to Him and He shall have a 'special position' - on top of everyone's yuletide tree - by law!
I'm so exicited.
He seems to have lost his spaghetti dimension ... and is now all tinsel and balls!!!:D:confused:0 -

@ Kylith: That sounds class! My kind of class
My ongoing decor "theme" is
1. if it does not take the eye out of your head with the brightness/glitter/shine, take it down
2. if it does not clash wildly with it's neighbour, it's in the wrong place
3. The tree must repell all feline summit attempts.
(not as easy to achieve as it sounds. NOBODY does trashy like me. I'm very fussy.)0 -

As soon as the photons from the image of Him hit your retinas, they transform into the body and bowl of Him. As you view every single image of The Noodlesome One, you are touching Him, with your eyes. He's ok with that, though.
