Just had a conversation with Roger the Greek ( lodger ).
I asked him if they celebrated Xmas in Greece Land.
I asked him if they decorated trees with stuff. Well his answer surprised me! He said ‘ not trees, but we decorate sheeps’.
Really?! I said – sheep?
Yes, he said.
There was a pause, with me looking surprised and laughing. Then I said ‘ so why sheep? In Wales we only have sex with them, and that’s all year round, not just at Christmas’.
He said ‘ it comes from the sailors. They decorate the sheeps’
After a bit it dawned on me what the F he was talking about.
Ha! That was funny!
reminds me about the German coast guard

When I worked as a nanny in HK, I recall having a conversation with the Filipino maid who was employed in the same house, she was talking about a ship, I thought she was talking about a sheep and we had completely crossed wires, we laughed until we had tears streaming down our face.
So I’m not the first!!! 😂
