The title says it all.
If you could invite anyone from history or present day to Christmas dinner, who would that be and why?
No worries about language, they all speak whatever you do, as this is hypothetical. I would invite Winston Churchill, who has always been one of my hero's. |

Martha Stewart. Actually I would invite myself over to her house. I'm sure the turkey and fixins would be fantastic.
I would invite along Ronald Reagan, my brother and his family, since I owe them a few meals. I don't know Martha's politics but my brother and I would get along fine with Ron. |
| Winston Smith | 25 Dec 2014 9:23 p.m. PST |
Maybe I would also invite John Carroll, first Catholic bishop of the US, and ask him if he ever ran into the bishop of Quebec who had excommunicated him. |

Walt Disney. I'd love to sit and BS model making, imagineering, and his take on what's become of his empire. |
| skippy0001 | 25 Dec 2014 9:35 p.m. PST |
Temujin, The Genghis Ka-Khan. We'd discuss hunting, war and women. Also, world politics and faith. Get some sword practice in. That stuff.(Find out where he's buried…ka-ching!!!!) |

Benjamin Franklin. A fellow brother and one hell of an interesting dude. The stories would be great. |

Never invite your heros. It's a sure road to disappointment. |

My mom and maternal grandmother and grandfather, so I could see them one more time. For historical figures, Jesus Christ would have to be on the list. |

I'd invite Themistocles. He would have to have a lot of funny anecdotes about stuff, and he might be able to clear up a lot of things. While I have a lot of respect for what he was able to do he seems like he was probably enough of a scoundrel that anything he could tell me would be unlikely to reduce my opinion of him. |

George MacDonald Fraser – author of the Flashman books, the MacAuslan series and his own war experiences in "Quartered Safe Out Here" – Hilariously funny, yet very poignant too. |

A dinner party guest list Jesus Christ (I mean he will have a few good stories, and I am sure he will keep the drink flowing, and sort out party snacks.) Sun Tzu – I mean this chap was the master of Strategy and Tactics, Who wouldn't like to set up a few tabletop teasers with him Aristophanes – The master comedic playwright – at least a few skits and scenes from this guy Jeanne d Arc – I know she was only fourteen, but I don't want it to be a sausage fest, and she can discuss with JC about her visions..

Laurence Olivier. I would ask him if the current fad in acting of whispering and then shouting annoyed him too.
Rodney Dangerfield. You have to ask why?
George MacDonald Fraser so I could ask what Flashman did in the Civil War and the Foreign Legion and Mexico and Zululand and with Wild Bill Hickock and… |
