Christmas should be about more than fawning to children.

D'oe !!

Watching the en-deer-ing charm of little children as they open their presents only to find an orange, a walnut and a spinning top rather than an XBox.

These bansturbators are really starting to piss me off - they've already removed most of the kangaroo, ostrich, emu and crocodile meat from supermarkets and now they're looking at removing wild boar. Áfonyás Vaddisznó Pörkölt Vörösboros for example is a lovely dish.

If they're so concerned about animal "cruelty", why don't they ban chicken and see how far they get with that?

Little reindeer , little reindeer on the dusty road
Got to keep on plodding onwards with your precious load
Been a long time, little reindeer , through the winters night
Dont give up now, little reindeer ,
Bethlehem's in sight

Ring out those bells tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Follow that star tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem

Feck it, get in on the block and I will dice it up.

But campaign group Viva! has slammed Lidl for selling the meat, claiming reindeer are often herded in cruel ways.
Campaigns manager Justin Kerswell told trade magazine The Grocer: 'Lidl is destroying the magic of Christmas by selling dead reindeer.
'What they term "luxury cuisine" belies the truth behind an industry that exists to exploit wild animals.
'Reports show that up to 70 per cent of reindeer killed for meat are calves.'

I think talking about how reindeer are badly treated is more harmful to "the magic of Christmas" than selling reindeer meat.

Mr Kerswell added: 'Commercialising reindeer in the West may put numbers under further risk.'

Good argument. I mean cows and sheep are practically extinct.

Rudolph's dead so Santa's sleigh is out of action. So, nobody will be getting any presents this year I'm afraid. Tuck in!

Elephant?

Trunk? 45 quid a pound.

A good butcher should be able to get any meat you want in a week. You might pay a wee bit more and have to take full cut but they just have to phone up the supplier and place an order.

Great how do you explain that to the kids? Err this is one of the reindeer that Santa no longer required the services of.

Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder or Blitzen?
