Christmas lights

Are you a Christmas snob?

  1. You see a house covered in Christmas lights.  Do you say:

  • How tasteless.
  • I’ve seen better displays in California.
  • What does that do for the environment?
  • How delightfully ironical.

 

  1. Your favourite Christmas song/carol is:

  • Anything in Latin.
  • Rocking around the Christmas tree
  • A satirical version of ‘Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer’
  • I try to avoid all Christmas music?

 

  1. The best mince pies come from:

  • Fortnum & Masons
  • A little pop-up shop off the High St
  • Aldi
  • I always bake my own.

 

  1. How many cards will you send this year?

  • I don’t know. I leave that to my PA.
  • None of any description.
  • Only e-cards.
  • Only religious cards.

 

  1. My Christmas television will consist of:

  • Only the Queen’s Speech
  • Anything on BBC 4.
  • Mrs Brown’s Christmas Special.
  • I have better things to do.

 

BEWARE!   Any answer could betray snobbish tendencies!  For a guide to the ‘snobscape’ and its serious as well as its frivolous side read Snobbery by David Morgan.
