    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've definitely had something else fall through.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I know you do.

    If you’re now in the same country as your family why are you staying at a B&B instead of your house?

    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.

    She had three put in at chest height along one wall, then the specific hob she wanted was somehow cheaper if it was attached to an oven, so she's got that one too. She cooks a lot so as excessive as it is, she does use them all.
