Your memory's going.
Listen, Games Workshop...
My hairline might be receding but at least I've not got early onset dementia.
Forgetting to finish sentences now. Fuck sake Lewis.
I completely forgot that my household has a Baileys coffee at 3pm exactly.
I'll just stick to a Jack Daniels ta.
My sister's sister-in-law has only just today bothered to confirm that they're coming tomorrow. I mean, because there are too many people she's doing a big sort of buffet thing anyway but I'd still have told them to fuck off by now.
Ended up drinking on an empty stomach [unintentionally] from 3-11 yesterday. A stupid mistake indeed, although bar the initial bloody sick I've actually felt pretty good today.
They do it for literally everything so I think they're just cunts who always plan to man up and tell their family "No, we'd rather do [occasion] by ourselves" and then bottle it.
Me and my sister are more honest with each other and we'd have told each other days ago to make a decision or not bother coming. We'd have had the argument and then got on with life. My brother-in-law's family are more about unspoken rows and simmering resentment.
hope everyone appreciates my high quality christmas avatar
i can count the pixels ffs how do you make it look not shit
Pm Bam.
Everyone just skipping over that Johns aunt has four ovens?
Do they film a downmarket Bake Off there or something?
The B&B I'm staying at has ceilings so low I think it was designed for invalids. Been here less than 15 minutes and already caned my head twice.
I thought all this had come up in either a crisps or Pringles thread ages ago. I've had Sama referring to them as "a pipe of [colour]" to me for long enough now that I genuinely catch myself doing it sometimes.
Less of that, it's Christmas you tiny headed twat.
Muppet Christmas Carol on Channel 4 now.
Christmas Eve tea shall consist of a lifetimes supply of cheese, mac and cheese jalapeño bites (dunno), Moroccan spiced lamb kebabs and mulled wine and onion hotdog sliders, aka “party food tea.”
There’s also been talk of her having a baileys hot chocolate so I may as well crack open some Swiss beer to mark the occasion.

Why does everyone seem to hate their family and/or in laws?
I find it hard to believe life can be that much of a cliché, but maybe I've just dodged a lot of bullets and found the sweet-spot of non-dickhead family units (certainly both my family and the wife's have dickhead potential on the outlying members).
For me it’s because my family (mum, Dad and mike) are proper boss and spending time with them is dead fun. So then when I have to go to the in-laws (mother in law, father in law, brother in law) and experience a really weird fuck-up of a family where they’re all scared of the Dad and don’t even have a Christmas dinner cos the parents are in bed and the brother just eats crap food all day and I have to go round and pretend to enjoy a buffet that I have to eat on my knee in the living room, oh god even writing about it is ruining tomorrow already.

In better news, my Finnish secret santa recipient liked his gifts:

I don't hate mine, I just couldn't spend the day with them as the dinner and food fest wouldn't be the same. Her sister in law would have loads of half raw veg with one slice of turkey for the dinner and then afterwards there would be one box of quality street on the go while you sip a long neck for an hour.
Plus they've kids and kids always seem to want extra attention at Christmas which trumps everything as a big no no.
I'm at my in-laws and it's great. It's just great food and good chat. They're moderate on the booze which is probably a good thing. My actual parents make me regress into a kid and I have running battles which is fucking boring.
This is dinner tonight http://www.olivemagazine.com/recipes...rada-de-peixe/
At the in-laws tomorrow, and as her sister (and her knobhead other half + kids) won't be there I'm really looking forward to it, They do a cracking Christmas dinner and the monopoly game usually provides friendly competition rather than all-out fallout.
I like my own family a lot, as these things go. My mum is increasingly insane but I like my direct family and my brother-in-law a lot. His family are dickheads, but fortunately I barely have to spend any time with them. Tomorrow I'll hide in the kitchen with my sister and help her when she needs extra hands.
And drink, of course.
I ordered chicken liver pate for starters at this place and it was the size of a plate and came with 6 slices of toast. Result.
Why are you in a B&B you little melt?
There’s not many finer aspects of Christmas than the daily Terrys Chocolate Orange
My girlfriend's family are ace. Spent Christmas with them the last couple of years and they go all in for the food and alcohol, so it's a merry time. This year I'm staying with my mum, just the two of us, which will be lovely but not as exciting or indulgent as if I was at the girlfriend's.
Has everyone actually been watching a lot of Christmas stuff? I think I watch less every year. It's nice being reminded of warm Christmas feelings and memories of when you have watched the same film over and over, but it's just all a bit meh. I think the only Christmas stuff I've watched this year is Elf and The Nightmare Before Christmas; I've not even seen Die Hard yet, or the Gavin and Stacey Christmas episode (classic). Maybe I'm just boring.
Sez niko as he suppresses his crisp-loving, Brexit-supporting, 'I lived in Australia and all I got was good coffee honestly' self in all aspects of his off-board life.
I don't think I've watched a single overtly Christmassy thing so far.
And if we're counting Christmas films that aren't really Christmas films then Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is the best.
Four pound sixty a pint though. I thought the only positive of Essex is that everyone's tight? I pay that in Geneva and we're on triple the salary.
Home as in the U.K. I live in Switzerland.
Family = everyone who aren't my parents...?
Oh I think I get you, my family don't have that many spare rooms with their kids coming up for the holidays as well.
I saw Jaydon Sancho at London Stanstead as well. He was wearing the Dortmund training jacket and the rest of his getup including his suitcase was budget Nike joints. He's the first 'celebrity' I've ever recognized but I did it through logical reasoning rather than having any clue who it was.
Merry Christmas you bunch of cunts.
Merry Christmas to everyone who isn't in 'The Group'.
Actually 'Daws' is alright. The rest of them. Nah mate.
