Boud said...

Bob said...

Put me down for a Charcuterie Chalet!!!

Marie Smith said...

Charcuterie chalets…someone has a great imagination.

Tom said...

...who the hell came up the word charcuterie? Oh by the way, did your car start without a block heater???

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Tom -- Yes, it did, thank the Baby Jesus. This morning I'm making an appointment at my car repair place to get a new block heater plug attached.

Pixie said...

I'm not a huge fan of christmas either, but you made me laugh this morning.

Charcuterie chalets are a great idea as some folks aren't crazy about sweets. I would add Cheez-its to the roofs, as there is nothing makes for a happy holiday like Cheez-its.

Lady M said...

Bah humbug

Gidget Blue Sky said...

Frank said...

We "finished decorating the house" (see photo above) and we will make donations to charity rather than BUY gifts and I'm NOT MAKING COOKIES this year, no matter who begs! Bah Humbug!

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Frank -- Oh, I bet if Leon wants cookies, you'll bake some!

Travel said...

I should send my sister the charcuterie house. There is a holiday movie coming out about a kid who sends a letter to satan by accident (my kind of kid, my spelling stinks.)

Granny Annie said...

Should I be ashamed that I laughed hard for each one?

Cleora Borealis said...

😱🎅🦌 Yikes on how real that first one is now! There is no war on Christmas...CHRISTMAS. IS. WAR!! 🤬💣💥

gz said...

Definitely agree with "fuck it" !!

Jamie Ghione said...

Love the Charcuterie Chalets and the Italian Gingerbread House!

Guillaume said...

Funny about the last one: I have a story in mind that uses the same premise.

This N That said...

I think I need to work on my Christmas spirit as well..Fun post…Lots of laughs..Thanks

roentare said...

The Satan cartoon is so hilarious lol

angela said...

I do wonder how many children miss spell Santa lol

Sixpence Notthewiser said...

Hahahaha
Oh, the Santa/Satan mistakes are hilarious. I also love that 'fuck it' meme. That's basically me.

XOXO

Mike said...

The dive bar brings back some fond memories.

Tundra Bunny said...

I'm not feeling very f*****g festive this year either, although the Xmas tree plungers did make me LOL! A great metaphor for our current reality.

Kirk said...

As a lover of Italian food, I'll move into that gingerbread house!

Joanne Noragon said...

Yes, palpable lack of Christmas spirit here.

Janie Junebug said...

I want the gingerbread dive bar. I know the floor would be appropriately sticky.

Love,
Janie

Kathy G said...

The gingerbread dive bar kit it a hoot!

Moving with Mitchell said...

The gingerbread dive bar is the best. That Italian’s gingerbread house is surprisingly unappealing given how much I like the ingredients.

baili said...

i so enjoyed these funnies dear Debra :)))
thanks for smiles
best wishes and lots of love

Bea said...

The Gingerbread Dive-Bar would be soooo funny to make and have displayed at the house!

Marcia LaRue said...

My Christmas spirit is Black Velvet ... a Canadian blended bourbon!
You probably knew that!

BootsandBraids said...

I would sooo build that gingerbread dive bar.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Marcia LaRue -- And Black Velvet is made right here in Alberta! (Lethbridge to be precise, near Calgary).

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ BootsandBraids -- I know you would! You are the Queen of Unique Gingerbread Houses!

Mary Kirkland said...

Oh my goodness, these are awesome.

Jennifer said...

The gingerbread dive bar and the Satan ones are my favorites! Haha!

Margaret (Peggy or Peg too) said...

These are great!

e said...

I loved all of these! I'm going to be pondering a charcuterie chalet of my own...

Susanne R said...

Those gingerbread houses made of a charcuterie board are so fun! We actually did this last year for a holiday party. We left them up the next day when our carpet cleaners came and because we left it out overnight ( we were too tired to throw it away and a little tipsy I will add) he thought we had left it out all Christmas season long like a normal gingerbread house! ha! we assured him it was just for a party. Imagine how bad that would smell if we just left it out for weeks!

Jeanie said...

The charcuterie chalet -- I just love it and want to do it!
