Yesterday a girlfriend and I were discussing what Christmas would be like in a world of men. It seems obvious to me many of the Christmas traditions we cherish and hold dear would be gone because there would be no women to carry them on from year to year.
* Men would give each other whatever gift they could find at the 7-Eleven on Christmas Eve. I can just hear them now:
–Man 1: Hey, man, I bought you this Snickers bar and pine-scented air freshener for your truck.
–Man 2: Thanks, dude, and here’s your cup of stale coffee and a refrigerator magnet.
* The gifts definitely would not be wrapped.
* No Christmas cards would be sent.
* No decorations would be found anywhere. (Men might say they contribute to the decorating by putting up lights on the outside of the house, but they only put up those lights because women tell them to.)
* No cookies would be decorated, no pies would be made, no breads would be baked and no candies would grace the Christmas table.
* No office parties, Christmas pageants or gift exchanges would be organized.
(Note to my husband: I write this in jest, honey, none of these apply to you.)
