If a belligerent alien race were to visit us on Christmas Day. What do you think their reaction would be ?

They’d probably try to blow everything up, a la “Independence Day.”

“What fools these mortals be!”

But then again, I’m from a belligerent alien race.

“What’s with all the fat dudes in the white beards and red suits?” They would say. I’d assume they couldn’t speak English so I guess it would be something more along the lines of ” Beep, bip, bop, beep, beep, bit, bop, bep, beep….bip”.

Then they’d take out their technologically advanced weapons and blow us all to pieces. As is my understanding.

@HumourMe Our secret weapon would be to play all the cheesy christmas songs. Remember Mars Attacks. Blow them suckers brains out!

Wow I haven’t thought about Mars Attacks for years! But yes that would be the plan exactly.

They would see all the people eating the turkeys.
Scout: “Commander, it appears that the aliens in question are dependent on this avian like bird to survive.”
Commander: “What are they called?”
Scout: “They appear to be called turkeys, sir.”
Commander: “That’s it, take all the turkeys you can find hostage, quarantine them, I don’t care. I will bring this race to their knees, and their fat red and white man with the big beard too.”

They would observe dumbstruck, our consumer mania. Their report back home might be: “it appears their survival is incumbent upon them consuming mass quantities of electronics and all kinds of other crap that are dutifully torn out of brightly adorned packaging.”
See ya…..Gary/wtf

@whatthefluther So in common with us they would assume a lot then

@ucme….As madly and fervently as many open their gifts, I don’t think it would be an unreasonable initial observation from which they might jump to that conclusion, but yes, I am guilty of making them as fallible as we often tend to be. See ya….Gary/wtf

We would find a “New World Order” in place on 26 DEC. Sounds a bit like the scenario in the old comedy film “The Mouse That Roared”.

Gotta get me a Q-bomb…

Why do people buy stuff before Christmas? Prices are certain to drop when it’s all over.

@Dr_Dredd maybe Dr. Kokinz has got an extra one stashed away somewhere.

They would be surprised to find a two-hearted, sonic screwdriver wielding time lord defending the people of our planet, as he has had to do every Christmas. I can’t wait for the Dr. Who Christmas special this year

They’ll be looking for the nearest welfare office so they can find out where they can get money, housing, and medical care for free.

Ah ha! So, you’ve met the in-laws!
