Merry Bloody Christmas
Read Time:42 Second
Any vestige of the “Christmas Spirit” left in me has gone.
I was supposed to fly to the UK on Christmas Day so my wife and I could meet up with my daughter and father living in Scotland. But the lovely thick snowfall all over the UK, which had school kids jumping with joy has caused chaos all across Europe, and it now looks as if our flight will be either delayed or cancelled. We could take the risk of getting on the first leg, Auckland to LAX, but that means taking the risk of being stuck in LAX for between 12 and 72 hours. I think I’d rather gnaw off my leg.
In a desperate attempt to regain my Spirit of Christmas, I thought I’d share some of my favourite Christmas cards with the gentle readers of MMA.

When I first went through LAX some 15 or 20 years ago on the way to Hawaii, I wanted to stay there. Little cafes dotted the area serving wonderful food. Fast forward 10 years and there were carts with fresh bread to take home or eat there. Fast forward 1 year and I was on the El Cheapo airline and it was Bombay all over again, sitting on the floor WAITING, nothing to eat or drink out except vending. Now, the better airlines still had nice waiting areas. I can’t really imagine now with the stupid security crap!
If you are talking about Los Angeles…the air port is a treat with fresh sour dough bread and great eats. I would rather be stuck there than anywhere else…like Houston…but I haven’t flown since the stupid security crap so it may not be so nice now.
Having been in LAX twice Janice, I cannot quite agree with you. It’s not really as bad as Bombay (Mumbai now) but in my experience it’s a close second. See my new post on I Love LA.
Native Angeleno says “Hrumph…!”
ROFLMAO!! I loved it and needed it. Funny, funny post 🙂
Yes, yes! The last one is great. Cracking up.
Oh, these are SO forwarded. Hey now that’s how the angel appeared on top of the first tree. Santa was all busy, the little angel came in bugging him and said where do you want me to put this. The rest is left to history.
Thanks Stella,
glad you enjoyed them. I suppose there’s no reason for everyone else to be miserable. [Chokes back self-pitying sob]
I’m glad I was sitting down… I was laughing so hard. I hope you get back to London before Christmas… or at least Boxing Day.
Robert, you are a delightful contributor. I’m glad you’re posting here.
