I wish A Christmas Carol had an even stronger influence on Christmas tradition and ghosts became a symbol of the holiday
Even better if terrorising the rich into acts of kindness also became a part of Christmas
Start the Christmas traditions you want to see in the world

So like normally structured jokes aren’t as funny anymore but “lemon lime spine” is a one-hit K.O.
you know i wanna disagree with you on principle, because it can’t be that simple, but “lemon lime spine” just made me crack up for the first time all day.
