Had a few beers and some whiskey and drys. After tea have had an explosive case of the green apple splatters.

Good to know. Thanks.

Two things :

1 - I am as agnostic as anyone can be, I think it's the height of hypocrisy for me to "celebrate" Christmas, in what people see as its "true" form in anyway. I can't and I won't.

2 - The ridiculous expectations people put on themselves and in turn others. Every food stuff known to man, we have to have this, we have to have that, we need 4 desserts, we need Xmas napkins, we need tinsel....no we ******* don't.

What we need, at Xmas in my view, is our loved ones in our family and friends around us, an opportunity to put our feet up and enjoy a break from the hectic day to day life we all lead year round. Instead we spend weeks and weeks leading up to it fretting over who is doing this, who is doing that, where am I going to get some ******* napkins with ******* snow men on there....SNOW MEN FFS!!

I get what you're putting down, we're moving into a smaller house yet we were expecting 4 or 5 interstate family members staying with us, now they aren't sure if they are coming so I've said to put a line through it and just tell them a flat no.
Then we'll have a houseful regardless, dilly-dallying around what everyone else is doing and trying to find the one main meal that suits all.
Not that I care too much but they outlay vs return is of a horrendous number, the missus has to buy for everyone and her budget blows out beyond ridiculous proportions but there was one little thing that I asked but I know it wont happen.

When Mrs HH3 asks what I want for Xmas, my reply is "You not spending any money"...

I never get what I want.

Do you ever get what you need?

[Booney]

We put too much emphasis on the shit that isn't important and too little on the things that are, IMO.

I need her to not spend any money, so no.

Not a Rolling Stones fan then?

[Failed Creation]

Totally agree on all counts, Mr. Boon.

I told Mrs. C. that I wouldn't mind just the two of us staying home this year, but she knows we'd run the risk of offending people by not being around.

I can't ******* stand Xmas and all the obligations (presents and presence) that go with it.

AND it all starts in November....

[Spargo]

BAH HUMBUG!

[Booney]

BAH HUMBUG!

Yes?

[Corona Man]

Kind of agree with all the Christmas sentiment already mentioned.

For me it will be our second Christmas in Melbourne, and the second Christmas where we won't see our Son on Christmas day. That sucks.

I enjoy the food, the grog, and the new socks..... but I'd rather have the whole family together on the day.
