We all in the festive spirit?

I've really struggled getting anywhere close to it this year.  

Be right at dinner when I finish work. 

Off to a Pantomime at the pleasure beach. The joys

I’m not feeling it, so am going to have a pint of baileys for breakfast. No ice.

If things go pear shaped with the Mrs I've been invited to a party at a hotel in town.

Crystal Meth instead of Turkey and a dash of GHB to balance out for after. 

As the owner said, finding that balance unlocks new levels of depravity.

There'll be 10 lads in there just steaming in to eachothers arses high on chemicals all in the name of Baby Jesus. 

Crisco oil and fisting cream all over the gaff.

You’ve bought her a Hoover just to make sure haven’t you?

I'm buzzing for it. Little ones bouncing off the walls already this morning 

Bolton Panto this afternoon and a meal out tonight then the fun begins tomorrow 

In-laws' place resembles a hospital ward.

Christmas Dinner off a tray.

Hopefully we'll have finished before he cacks himself!

Joy to the world.

Doing same as last year... walk along the beach with a rucksack of tins of cider and pasties, dog won't be with us sadly so won't be as good this time.

You'd be surprised how many folk avoid Christmas and nave picnic!

Highlight of trip up here will be this mornings walk with the BiLs dogs.

Lunch at Black Bull with both MiLs might persuade me to pay the Cuvva for insurance for Yoof Snr to drive.

Yooof Jnr contemplating the 0400 National Express to get home for Boxing Day game. First time we’ve been home in 9 years.

Whats the Address 

asking for a Friend 

Just about to have xmas eve brekkie with the kids - chocolate wreaths look good - then edlest at work, other two off to their mums until 3pm tomorrow. 

Going for a walk along the front and then back for nothing but a sit down, TV and a read.

Tomorrow we're going for a curry in Whitstable before picking the kids up. Looking forward to having a lie in and a bit of a rest from emails for a couple of days.

Just watching Citizen Kane on BBC2. Thats a treat on a wednesday morning.

Only moved into the new house a few weeks back. Still got furniture to get (but have ordered a bar, and 4 bar stools have already turned up).

No christmas tree of decorations, not doing pressies.

Taking the dog a walk down the estuary for an hour to a spot we haven't been to yet, off to our Belgian friends for a couple of sedate drinks then back home for a piss up with our lass.

Piss up no 2 at some friends about 20 mins away tomorrow, then piss up no 3 boxing day at some other friends house 20 mins the other way. Starting at 3 but I'm taking the laptop and already pre-warned I'm disappearing 4 til 6 to watch the match.

It'll do.

 

 

don't know what happened there

Nope, not looking forward to it at all.

Eldest lives in Aus with our grandkids
Middle one is having a "first Christmas together" at his girlfriend's
Youngest is in Exeter

We've to spend Xmas Day with the semi-senile/dementia MiL and the Mormon Brother/Sister in laws.

Happy fucking holidays, Chris Rea's having a better one.

Hoping to finish in half an hour. Long dog walk this afternoon then curry, a few cans and Planes, Trains and Automobiles this evening.

Taking the oldies out for lunch tomorrow.

That just made me howl! 😁

Hope it goes as well as it can mate!

If I ensure things go pear shaped with mine, can I come too?

Did a solid 18 years of Christmas Eve piss ups, but I’m glad we realised last year to shift it forward to the Sunday before Christmas instead to avoid the Christmas Day hangover.

Finished work at 1, out for a pizza later then back for a Xmas film and the Two Doors Down special.

Lad is staying down south with his mum so just the two of us going out for a meal tomorrow afternoon. Usually a curry but they’ve taken liberties with the price (gone up £30 in 6 years!) so gone for a more traditional option at a pub/restaurant in Leigh.

Glad we’ve got a home match on Boxing Day, though we’ll still tick the daft travelling box with a 6.30am train from Bolton on the 27th for the Hibs v Hearts game.

Enjoy, all!

Not that arsed tbh. 
Celebrating a date within three weeks or so of the birth of a made-up Palestinian?

Being descended upon by most of the wife's dysfunctional adult kids and some partners for 'fun and games' tonight, some staying over, others rolling up tomorrow morning. Some respite tomorrow aft, going to my daughters in Preston for Xmas dinner, not something we've done for a long time. Boxing Day at the match is being well looked forward to, whatever the outcome.

Three days in Northumberland from 27th, apartment in Alnwick, plenty of fresh air and local pubs.

No idea about New Year yet. 

Whatever you're doing and who with, all the best, and good health 🎄🎁🍺

Black Bull in Edgeworth was a pleasant experience overlooking the reservoir with some nice ale.

Hope everyone has a good day with family and friends or solitude.

Just watching the Carol service on ITV.

Beautiful,  and makes me want to go to church again 😉 😘 

Merry Christmas to one and all, you scallywags
