Christmas...

[guitarcookie1]

Goodwill to all..?




My arse :/

Over-priced tat;
Kids with "expensive" ideas;
One lot of family going "you must come here, we need something to look forward to & we don't wan't to be on our own;
Another lot going "we want to stay home";
Dec/Jan is my busiest work time (thanks government).




Log cabin, middle of nowhere, no Internet/phone/tv, 24Dec to 1Jan, me myself & I = Heaven (I wish)

You seem to be doing it wrong.

Lady BMcH and I buy each other a small selection of gifts and mostly make gifts for other people. On the day we lock the doors and have a nice day off with slightly more food and booze than normal. It's nice.

I'm still at the age where I get really excited about it.

Will it all change once I turn 18 and complete my transition into a grumpy old man?
(I reckon I'm 60% there already).

The trick is to enjoy being grumpy. Otherwise you're just another miserable sod.

Swap your Grotto for Lapland then! simples

competitive humbuggery is as much a part of the christmas ritual as the mince pies and fairy lights - but unlike most other elements it serves no positive purpose

still - dont let me spoil your christmas - whine for all youre worth

mulled whine

This.

I find it hard to complain about having time off work, lots of brilliant food and booze, presents and spending time with family and friends.

It's nice to be able to start boozing at breakfast without guilt

mulled whine

that was quite funny for you

and since a backhanded compliment on its own isnt worth a whole post i shall make use of this space to point out that i am moderately pleased that "humbuggery" wasnt obscenity-filtered
