Re: Bah Humbug

Oh dear guys!!! You should all hang your head in shame :santa_wink:

My mum died from cancer four years ago at this time of year and the funeral was held just days before Christmas Day but that still has not dampened my Christmas spirit. I love this time of year. Come the 27th though I wish I was heading to the carribean .........

Re: Bah Humbug

Sorry to hear that Ruby - that must indeed have been a pretty subdued Christmas for you and your family. TBH., I prefer the intimate 'family' type of Christmas to the heavily-commercial one we all have to endure. It's the one time of year when I can almost say I like kids - almost !!!

I still couldn't eat a whole one, though.

Re: Bah Humbug

An old man calls up his son and says, "Listen, your mother and I are getting divorced. Forty-five years of misery is enough."

"Dad, what are you talking about?" the son screams.

“We can't stand the sight of each other any longer,” he says. "I'm sick of her face, and I'm sick of talking about this, so call your sister and tell her," and he hangs up.

Now, the son is worried. So he calls up his sister. She says, "Like hell they’re getting divorced!" and calls her father immediately. "You’re not getting divorced! Don't do another thing, the two of us are flying home tomorrow to talk about this. Until then, don't call a lawyer, don't file a paper, DO YOU HEAR ME?” and she hangs up.

The old man turns to his wife and says "Okay, they’re coming for Christmas and paying their own airfare."

Re: Bah Humbug

Yes I agree Christmas is all about family and not the commercial stuff. Mind - try telling that to my teenage daughter. The presents get smaller as the kids get bigger but cost a shed load more! I hate these adverts for payday loans, they make me cringe cause I know people out there are going to get themselves into more debt this season and these companies will just be rubbing their hands with glee.

Re: Bah Humbug

For the record...........I LOVE CHRISTMAS..absolutely love it.Rob goes out of his way to make it special every year.He and Jack deck my house out with lights,ornaments,big tree etc.They take me food shopping,(the Xmas ham is a tradition),we all go present shopping ONCE,if it's not bought on the annual trip to shops it aint happening (unless it's been ordered online).Christmas Eve is wrapping time.Christmas Day is always fun,with the annual 'can Mum find her hidden present' (never do,,and it's always jewellery) then we eat about 5,,flop out,then play board games. Boxing day is a pyjama day,,doing nothing and enjoying every minute of it.

Re: Bah Humbug

My 9 year old daughter was asked to write a humorous poem, a xmas based poem set in the 3rd person.

This was her work (I'm kinda scared cos im so proud of her, but i know I would have written similar at her age)

I am the Christmas Fairy
I sugar every plum
I sit here in this Christmas tree
With Pine cones up me bum

I am the Christmas fairy
With sparkles in my hair
I throw the baubles at the cat
when no one else is there

I am the Christmas fairy
I welcome Santa Claus
I'd have a bigger smile
Without pine cones in me drawers!!

(spelling mistakes corrected.)
