So it's mushy peas and soup on chips for the WW massive this year?

Washed down with Buxton sparkling, 2022 vintage.

Been finishing off the dregs of bottles I've had left over for a bit before tucking into proper Christmas piss.

Brandy, Morgans Spiced and Chattanooga Whiskey bottles all finished. A couple of drinks in each so nothing major.

Christmas starts tomorrow

I'll tell you what is shite, eggnog 

What the fucking hell is that

2 xmas movies tonight. Did first Blood earlier and just watching violent night now which is like a cross between Die Hard and Home Alone.

Every time I’ve visited Aldi recently I’ve tipped a couple of cans of their Stout about it vanilla stout in the trolley

It shouldn’t work but it really does. That’s me sorted for ale this Christmas

Wrapping done and dusted. An incredible record first for me. I'm usually up till 2/3AM Christmas morning, before getting my head jumped on at 5/6 because "Wake up! He's been!" - as I imagine most on here have experienced. I'm sure I'll miss it when it stops.

We've got our 8yr old grandson here for Xmas this year, so it'll be the first early start for a few years chez Traf.

It's also his 9th birthday, so double the fun for a couple of days before he flies back to Oz on Wednesday.

That'll bring a few memories back!

We brought him back from Bali on 5th December.
I'd forgotten how tiring kids were.

Just get your Mrs to start doing it when the kids grow out of it.

I still have no idea why we wrap stuff in our house as we practically order all of our own presents anyway, but somehow it just wouldn’t be the same!

First thing I've fucked up. I've forgotten to do Christmas eve boxes. I've a feeling I'm gonna fuck up all of this Christmas

Right, Xmas is hard enough - cut yourself some slack. I guarantee that your kids will have a brilliant Christmas and won't notice any small thing that has dropped off the list.

You aren't not going to.fuck it up, no doubt you've done a brilliant job and the children will have a fantastic time with their family and wonderful mum who loves the bones of them.

Yep. Put it in the same file as farting about with that bastard elf every night.

I’ve just completed 24 FUCKING nights of pissing about arranging a toy elf in various “hilarious” situations around the house.

I don’t know what a Xmas Eve box is, but it ain’t happening. I’m done.

Relax @bolton_blondie your kids are only bothered about what the big man brings down the chimney.

dig out the baileys

I'd love to dig out the baileys, but I have too much to do. Hard work all this on your own 

[Traf]

Don’t do the Elf

Dont do the boxes

Stop introducing more chores to a hectic schedule 

[radcliffe white]

Be some family matching pj pictures knocking about later on social media

 

[Winchester White]

Just give them one of their smaller presents @bolton_blondie, honestly it doesnt matter.
