In the interest of spreading good cheer and Holiday Happiness, The Grump has decided to open up an article to help each and every one of you to ask any question you might have about surviving the holidays.  The Grump, a pragmatic closet red-neck, voyeur, avid marksman and champion of duct tape, will answer all your Holiday questions.

A sample of a reasonable question for The Grump:

I was recently asked a very serious question by a close friend of mine: 

What do you do when various guests at the dinner table begin spouting dogma?  What shall we do?

Answer: Of course, the rule is no politics or religion at the dinner table.  At least it is at The Grump's place.  Such rules may be enforced with duct tape.  If that doesn't work, C4 placed up against the gas tank of their car, set to ignite after they leave and at least four blocks away (of course) is totally appropriate.

So, get your questions in as soon as possible.  The Holidays are approaching and we shall leave no Holiday problem unsolved.

Also, if you notice other viners with problems you may be able to solve, feel free to jump into the fray and give your cheap (but down to earth) advice.

This article isn't about politics.  Be courteous, kind and respectful.  Have fun, too.

I have added a bit of music for you to listen to while you comment.

In the orphanage, the only thing we ever got for Christmas was an orange. I love oranges.
