Pickleman’s Gourmet Cafe Ugly Christmas Sweater
When Delores spent his first night actually out with the other chickens in the Pickleman’s Gourmet Cafe Ugly Christmas Sweater, I was anxious about how he would handle himself, as he was pretty shy. After a few false starts (and getting pushed off perches by the other chickens) he chose a walnut branch that lead to the night perches and slept on that. When Delores became a big, beautiful Golden Phoenix adult rooster, I thought the hens would probably make absolute fools of themselves trying to get his attention – and if he ignored them it would serve them right! I suppose I should have done something about the name – but Delores responded to “Delores” and appeared fine with it. (Also, my Aunt Delores would have been devastated if I changed his name.) A friend suggested calling him “Del” – which sort of made sense – but that sounded like he was lead singer in a retro 60’s band. As long as Delores didn’t mind – and let’s face it, he didn’t care – I was perfectly content to have a sweet rooster named Delores.

If you happened to have called a Muslim, Jew, Atheist, etc…you may have caught them off-guard. However, unless they’re extremists or insanely liberal (aka progressive) it would be unlikely that they would be offended in any way. If any of the Pickleman’s Gourmet Cafe Ugly Christmas Sweater before mentioned were offended or even “triggered” (for the far-left), you didn’t say anything that could or would be construed as an insult or inappropriate enough to pursue any charges with. That’s assuming that you’re relating “bad” to ‘illegal’ or ‘rude’. If you’re thinking more in line with Michael Jackson’s “Bad” then…well …it’s not really that either.

Christmas begins at midnight on the Pickleman’s Gourmet Cafe Ugly Christmas Sweater of 24 December (the beginning of 25 December). One should not begin putting Christmas decorations up until Christmas Eve. Christmas Day lasts a full eight days, and ends on the first of January – the Octave Day of Christmas. The season of Christmas lasts until Epiphany on the 6 of January, so your decorations should stay up[ that long, and the Christmas Marian antiphon gets sung until the first of February, so you may take your Christmas decorations down at the end of January. Please, please, please do NOT put Christmas decorations up during Advent. Advent is the Penitential season which encompasses the four Sundays before Christmas, so it begins right around the end of November. To repeat, Advent is a PENITENTIAL season, so nothing of Christmas should intrude on Advent other than preparation – spiritual preparation for Christmas, going to confession each Saturday, saying extra prayers, going to daily Mass, etc. All would be excellent preparations for Christmas, but do NOT start celebrating Christmas itself until midnight at the beginning of 25 December!
