As part of my college course I have to plan a themed evening. the theme I've been give is 'the Alternative Christmas'. In other words, a christmas that is completely different to the traditional.

I'm stuck...any ideas?

A Johovas Witness Christmas Very Happy

An Australian Christmas - everyone in shorts and tea shirts

An ancient Greek style Christmas

A Flintstones style Christmas

A Christmas where the men do the cooking and the women sit with their feet up!

A beach party Christmas

Carol this is an interesting assignment. Paula, it's tee shirts! I had a good laugh at your ideas though. Hey what about Christmas In The Sahara??

When I was in high school , my class has been "chosen as volunteers" to go and distribute warm meals to the homeless on the Christmas eve.
Sure it was an alternative Xmas.
Good cause, but I let you decide if it was a funny night or not.

oops, gues my spelling wasn't at its best that night!!!!

The homeless one sounds a good idea, i'm not sure we have many soup kitchens in England though, I don't know of any near to me

carol - you could have a "cook Paula and Keri" dinner Christmas at my house Very Happy

that would be alternative. Then I could have a drink rather than having to drive for an hour to get home again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh I'm the same way Paula, I seem to shift to the right and type gibberish.

my main problem is generally stuttering in my typing, i'll write apple but spell it appple or put 2 r's in something that's only supposed to have 1! I constantly have to have the spell checker on at work because of it!!
