A Christingle is an orange and it's got a red ribbon tied around it (And already that's weird, isn't it? Just so you know, I'm not halfway through this description yet. That's an orange with a red ribbon tied around it. Never any excuse to tie a red ribbon around an orange, unless you're gonna fly somewhere on holiday, you want to check the orange in beforehand, so that when it comes round on that conveyor belt, you can tell it apart from all the other oranges. You don't wanna go home with a satsuma, or God forbid, a clementine). It's an orange, it's got a red ribbon tied around it, and four cocktail sticks stuck in the top of the orange. And then we skewer raisins and Dolly Mixtures onto those. And then we get a long, thin candle, drive that into the top of the orange and light it. And then a small child carries that down the aisle of the church on Christmas Eve and nobody questions it. Against all the odds, the kid comes out of it looking pretty boss. And all the elements represent something different. The orange represents all the vitamin C in the world. The ribbon represents the fashion industry. The cocktail sticks represent competitive javelin. The sweets and the raisins represent regret, and the candle represents the dwindling popularity of wax museums.
What is a Christingle?!

Get the Christingle mug.A hilarious sitcom starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
The show was about a middle-aged divorced woman named Christine Campbell. She is known as "Old Christine" because her ex-husband Richard's new girlfriend also happens to be named Christine (she is known as "New Christine" because of this). Old Christine lives with her son Richie and her younger brother Matthew. She owns a gym with her best friend Barb. She sends her son Ritchie to a fancy private school and frequently has to deal with the school's two "Meanie Moms" (two rich, blonde, queen-bee moms who always look down on Old Christine).
Old Christine is extremely dumb. For example, she prides herself in being politically active, but her idea of political activism is voting on American Idol. Similarly, she often forgets basic information about herself, such as her age. Richard and New Christine are usually more intelligent than her, but both of them have their moments of stupidity too. Barb and Matthew are usually the voices of reason, but even they have issues.
At first, the show was great. It received nine Emmy nominations and won an Emmy in its first season. By the fifth season, however, the show had degenerated, so it was cancelled.

It's too bad The New Adventures of Old Christine got cancelled. It was really good up until season 5.
