The Christmas Thread

At the moment I am a bit BAH HUMBUG!!!!

 

I think I'm one of the few who still actually enjoys christmas

 

I like the way everyone cracks the heating up and throws electric bulbs everywhere...the sooner it runs out the better...nnnnnnurhhh!

....because then we'll revert back to candles and log fires like our ancestors who worshipped the Sun and Moon and enjoyed a good feast and fermented apples for such an occasion....I'm not going to skint myself either, I've been giving presents all year like I do every year..nobody tells me when to give....I do that when I see something that someone may want.....25th December means nothing really...it's not even Jesus's birthday but I'll be happy to celebrate just because everyone else is.:cheers2:


And...don't forget about the brown snow..it's probably a chubby childs faeces

 

I haven't been this excited for christmas since i was a kid. I can't wait to spend christmas morning with my boyfriend, and I can't wait to go home and see my parents who i haven't seen since august.

 

Christmas means spending time with my family, as we are invited to my grandma's for Christmas Day... also, the tree and the decorations... listening to Christmas carols...

 

Your sig is perfect for this thread!


It's on thursday, right? I hadn't realised it was so close untill someone mentioned it to me the other day.

 

Merry Christmas people!!!!!

 

Just lyk the fact that it makes ppl value the company of eachother

Everywhere seems to be colourful

Happy belated xmas:cheers2:

 

Hello mixed peppers, welcome to the forum




Best wishes for a Mary Whitehouse and a Harry Redknapp

 

haha -> "Mary Whitehouse and a Harry Redknapp" curious

thanks for the welcome

 

we had a wonderful time. we baked cookies for santa, then went outside to look for rudolph's red nose leading the sleigh up in the sky. we found it. my kids went apeshit, the WHAMMO! in walks their granpa, unexpectedly in town for christmas. the kids flipped. and then, when they're in the middle of losing their minds, i put them in bed. HAHAHAHHA. kairin made it through the night pretty well. jocelyn, not so much. but we finally got her down and went about the santa business. my kairin is SUCH a believer, man, she makes this shit outrageously fun.

 

Sooo.. what did y'all get?
I got:
- CECT i9 (cheap Chinese clone of the iphone, only 'clone' being '10x better')
- chocolates
- diary for some mad reason, apparently I lack organisational skills
- lynx (again, unsubtle commentary)
- heated thermal vest, for long bike journeys

 

DAB digital clock radio
Snuggly blue dressing gown
Patchwork bag
A belt
A big bath sheet
Chocolates

A strange purple jacket

 

I got a sewing machine ( arty: ) that nearly made me cry as it was such a thoughtful present...wanted one since I was about 10

Animal Crossing game for the Wii

and a watch, bracelet and necklace set (from a secret santa and I have no idea who it was...possibly grandma inlaw?)

I never got my mums pressies as theyre all measley (I dont mean in a mean way, I mean they realy are infected with measles over there)

But Im pretty chuffed anywayFor someone who couldnt give a stuff about christmas I did really well


What did you all give?

I got Scott Super Paper Mario for the Wii, a set with lots of exotic teas and a peace and love fridge magnet!

 

Gave various female relatives bits of jewellery from Camden, my dad got a bottle of rum, and as for the rest.. my sister did the buying, I can't be arsed with christmas shopping

EDIT: 1kg tub of Celebrations, going cheap.. well, free in fact. Bloody senile relatives can't remember I'm allergic to the stuff..

 

A mini Henry hoover for my parents
A fake ear stretcher for Saskia
And some Cherry earrings for Luiza

 

2 kitchenaid stand mixers
1 dyson ball vacuum
1 5 piece drum set
2 pair pyjama pants
1 paid-off car
1 bottle aged scotch
2 movies, one very delightfully stupid.

 

I am seriously craving chocolate since my parents opened the box on chocolate. We have a huge tub downstairs we're going to give away.

 

Happy Feast of St John the Apostle everyone!

My personal favourite feast day.

 

i got some slippers, a biscuit barrell and a cook book. *cooks head in oven*

i gave a new coat, a dressing gown, dvds, ps2 games, weekend kits and jumpers to various folks.
