The Ultimate Christmas

[Willo of Whiteley]

What habits do you or your family have?

Are there any traditions going on?

Is there a song you have to switch off every single time you hear it come on?

Who’s the family member you would not like to attend?

The tradition I stick with is to ignore the whole bloody thing until a couple of weeks before the event, not banging on about it in October.

As a married man, my favourite non attendee is the obvious one.

Remember, it's all about celebrating the birth of baby Jesus, not a stuff your face, piss up.

Yep, I avoid it until late. Sod all this putting a tree up just after bonfire night malarkey. 

Leave present shopping til the week before, avoid Christmas markets, and keep the day low key. Good food, and the company I want to keep. 

My sister has never received an invite. 

And that Mariah Carey song should be banned and replaced with Winter Wonderland by the Courteeners.

I’m spending my traditional Christmas with MLG and his family. We arrive early to attend morning worship at his church, get back for lunch and the kings speech, afterwards the kids do a nativity play and then we give them their presents. We pray to god thanking his for sending his son to save us. Then we go carol singing before going back for sherry and nibbles.

Good:

• German Xmas markets
• Lights
• 9am drinking
• That song by the Darkness
• Pigs in blankets
• Dropping a good solid log after Xmas dinner whilst the King’s speech is on.
• Moonraker on Boxing Day
• Seeing that duck rape thread getting resurrected and the absolute insanity that gets unloaded on it.

 

Bad:

• Brussel sprouts
• Mariah Carey
• The Pogues. Good song but massively overplayed.
• Dark by 4pm
• Traffic jams
• Lynx Africa
• 4 hours in A&E with a teardrop shaped bauble stuck up your bum. Seriously, why make them that shape if they’re not supposed to go up there.

I’m sure there’s more if I think about it.
