A whole thread about Christmas hate ?

Well: move aside grumpies 🤣 Ive got 12 days off work, plenty of time to do as I please and yet another plate of enjoyment to get through here 🤩

Snap. I knew I'd forgotten something. No silverskin pickled onions to go with my lovely cheese.

It's not reached the hate stage yet, but I put a card through a neighbour's door yesterday and so far I haven't received a card back!! Where the feck is it??!!!🧐

Someone on my street gave me a card, but didn't put their house number, so no idea who to send one back to.

It’s the giving that counts, not the receiving. It’s great you don’t expect a card in return.

He hates the neighbour. Probably got rotten sprouts in it.

Maybe he posted this then?

You mean you don't keep a list of people who sent you a card

I hate that family’s get massively into debt, because of the pressure of delivering a consumerist Christmas for their kids.

I think it is the family socialising thing I can't be bothered with - this last weeks been great, just me and the wife, xmas tree up, get the curtains closed early, big open fire on, and we just sit about and read - wonderful

But the morrow, some family coming for dinner, I can't be bothered with it, and then later in the week more family arriving to stay, and they just argue and bicker

beam me up scotty

If you knew what it's like being alone for Christmas you wouldn't feel like that?

sorry - that was insensitive of me.

(it may all very well happen to me one day)

I don’t exactly hate it, but what amuses me is the way some people take it all far too seriously, coming to blood boiling point over a song, panicking over a parsnip or two, someone else spending their own money. Just step back and breathe.
If you don’t want to celebrate and lift the spirits at what would over wise be the dreariest time of year, then don’t, but remember,” cry and you cry alone.”

Oh missed one - treating Christmas as if there is going to be some sort of 3 week siege.
The shops are shut for one day. And even then the local corner shop / offie is likely to be open.

I just laugh. That said, we've got a lot of veg as it was super cheap, but it will keep well in the fridge, and we'll eat it.

Not us Leeds fans, we cry together, usually early May when we've lost another play off game.

Inflatable reindeers and other xmas ***te which after a few days collapse into amorphous blobs [probably like the person who put them there]. Houses like this usually have abseiling plastic santas hanging on a rope...it looks like there topping themselves

I really like climbing/waving/abseiling Santas.....much better than the tasteful stuff you see decorating the £15 million homes of Russian oligarchs in Kensington.
