Christmas Shit

[Beachlover]

I felt sure we had this thread on here, but it must have been on ROF as I can't find it so I thought I'd kick it off on here even though advent isn't until next Sunday.
With that in mind....

Mine is normally boxing day morning,

Oh! sorry..

Every time Christmas decorations go up in November, Santa shoots an elf. No wonder our National Elf Service is short staffed.

Charity Christmas cards.....why are the cards I bought in M&S in Glasgow supporting a cancer charity that only operates in Ireland ?

I'm sure it's a very good charity with fine aims, but buy in Britain, support local charities ??

Just rather odd.

I am finding my get up an go harder to motivate, the seasonal drowsiness is starting to bite. I'm trying to keep moving, tick things off my list, and christmas cards are being done just now.

It's scary going through the address book and how many people are away.

I don't think I like this getting older lark much.

Don't! it's a trap.

I decided some years ago I didn't like growing older: but then I considered the alternative.

There does come a time when the alternative is welcome, unless you are very lucky.

My 94 year dad isn't contemplating the alternative yet.

It's not for the faint-hearted, this ageing stuff is it?
I'm heartened by my fellow Brummie mate down the allotment who's 80 and today apologised for not being able to get me into a massively oversubscribed Beaujolais day breakfast this last week. Told him it really didn't matter and thanks but he reassured me he'd not only had a bottle on his ticket but did in a second one for me and even ate half a second fry up before his daughter piled him into her car and poured him out at home to sleep it off. There is hope!

When I were a lad, there was a lovely old dear who lived in a 3rd floor flat. She was 93 and still carried her buckets of coal up the 3 flights of stairs every day. She used to say that she was ready to go at any time because all the folks she knew had died and she was fed up. No telly in those days.

Absolutely ridiculous.

FFS!

Looks like you're gonna have to buy your Christmas dinner nearer to the time Marc.

Laziness can be expensive.

It’s not my photo. It’s not the price. It’s the effing date!

Yeah, "there are 12 days of Christmas, none of them are in November"

One cannot begin the annual Festival of Rampant Consumerism too early.

We've still got mince pies in the freezer from last year

I had to make another entire jar of mincemeat. 2lbs of the stuff disappeared from the jar where it was sweetly maturing in brandy and sherry.....Himself slept well for over three weeks though
