On the other hand, I just ate half a christmas cake. MMMMMMMM christmas

So annoyed that you managed to contain it all the way to November?

What is so Christmas-y about bags of mixed nuts that you have to break open yourself with a nutcracker anyway?

Ballache if you ask me

It took weeks before the rage subsided to the point my hands were steady enough to type.

Or, alternatively I spent the intervening time eating cake.

apparently my reply to the Mrs when she said she threw away the decorations and lights last year and hasnt got any. Good was not an acceptable answer?
She wants me to waste good bike tokens on a tree that will die in a few hours of bringing it in the house, and lights and tinsel that will potentially burn us to the ground :roll:
Oh yeah and celebrating the birth of a kid who's mum lied about having an affair.

Very this.
I'm not fussed about any other part of crimbo really, with every year, some other depressing occurence happens, that ends up making each christmas just slightly worse than the one before.
But the food is always good.

This year, it is just a short interim to eat like a fullymong hamster getting ready for hibernation, before jetting off to France to go snowboarding just after new years

Even in the 31ºC heat today, the shops here on the dark continent were full of Christmas goodies!
Yes, it is a delicious time of year, however the commercialism can be OTT
