Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I just realized that my house doesn’t have a fireplace. Santa Claus won’t be able to get in! What should I do?

  • Leave a door unlocked.
  • Leave a window open.
  • Cut a hole in the roof.
  • Call one of those emergency fireplace installation places, even though they’re probably really busy today. Maybe if I offer them a couple thousand dollars extra they can get it done by tomorrow night.
  • Build a slapdash addition to the house with a fake chimney and fireplace. Santa is so busy he probably won’t notice that it’s not real.
  • Leave a note pinned to the door explaining my dilemma and hope that he’ll leave my presents anyway. After all, I’ve been a good boy this year!
  • Forget it, the bastard was just going to bring me a lump of coal anyway.
  • Something else.

Inspired by a current active thread:

You find a valuable item like an Apple watch, nobody nearby has obviously lost anything.

  • I’m honest and I would take it with me as the best way to reunite it with its owner, it’ll probably get stolen otherwise.
  • I’m honest and I leave it be, its rightful owner is likely to notice and return for it.
  • I’m dishonest and will steal it.

Other. I’ve never been much of a drinker and in my 70’s I no longer have any tolerance for it. Even one (1) lousy beer results in a) feeling kind of pleasant for about ten minutes followed by b) headache for 30-60 minutes before c) falling asleep. And yes, a very mild hangover the next morning.
