Paid Members Surf Digby Posted December 25, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 25, 2018 The boy is fast asleep following a day of hyperactivity and furious bongo playing, and there's still presents that haven't been unwrapped. It won't be like this next year. I'm going to watch the end of Mary Poppins and then have my suggestions declined by the missus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moved to the states 8 years ago and it was the best thing I’ve ever done. Back in the motherland for Chrimbo feeling comfortably full and rested!   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted December 25, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 25, 2018 It’s been an interesting/brilliant one for me. My daughter recently turned 2 and is more aware of surroundings etc now. She isn’t at an age of wanting presents, being disappointed, or having expectations. She is in awe of everything that’s been going on, surrounded by lots of happy people but now with lots of trees, lights and colourful paper to rip up. It’s been really fun watching her soak it up, seeing which things/gifts/surroundings she warms too. She got a skateboard, a footy, a kids kitchen, books, teddies etc. Her favourite item was 1 of my dads socks. It became a hat, a place to hid her Yorkshire pudding and we then found it in her cot as we were putting her to bed. edit: best of luck @d-d-d-dAz hope you settle quickly mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted December 25, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 25, 2018 I’ve had a nice Christmas with some lovely gifts and a great spread. However, the best thing without a doubt has been reading Kung and the Gang’s book, which I’d bought for myself and which had arrived a couple of days ago. I’ve been been glued to it all day, ignoring my family and guffawing and stories I am unable to relay to them as they’d be scandalised. A Strong Recommend.

Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted December 25, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted December 25, 2018 Best part of my day was my Dad telling me that Home Bargains had washing-up liquid at half price then he opened the cupboard under the sink to show me eleven bottles of the stuff. Glad so many of you had a good day. Good luck in NY, @d-d-d-dAz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members theironshake Posted December 26, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 26, 2018 Last year was the worst Christmas ever. My father in law had a triple bypass and I was pretty much alone the whole holidays. As I couldn't get out of work. This year Best Christmas since I was a kid. Great presents and I got every one good things too great dinner and my father in law in great health and spirits. Hope you all had a great day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Wretch Posted December 26, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 26, 2018 First Christmas since my 26 year old brother's battle with his mental health got too much and he decided to leave us in the summer. Stupid holiday, silly little day. Fuck off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westlondonmist Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 In hospital most of the day so not opened any presents. My partner gave birth to our first child at 3:24 this morning, the perfect gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted December 26, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 26, 2018 Best of luck dAz. I spent Christmas around my Dad's this year, for a change. As with most, I've become a little jaded with Christmas, so watching my wee half-brother have the best time made this the best Christmas I've had in years. Like when I was a kid, I ended up chuckling away to Big Night Out with my old man. The new series is brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She had so many cool presents, too many presents for a 5 year old really. Yet she spent more time playing with an empty cardboard box from one of the toys than the actual toy itself. Hiding in it, drawing on it with felt-tip pens, hitting me with it. Having kids has definitely recaptured the magic of Christmas for me. I’ve always loved Christmas but I got to an age where it just became a reason to get bladdered. Christmas wasn’t what was fun anymore it was the getting pissed and I could do that anytime.* But then I got with my missus and she’s even more in love with Christmas than me. Our daughter came along in November 2013 and made it worth going to the effort to make Christmas a bit special from then on. Don’t get me wrong, yesterday was chaos and my daughter trashed the place. It’s going to be double that when my son can do the same. But I actually don’t want them to grow up now. Being woke up (at 5:30-bastard-am!) by my daughter excitedly saying ‘Daddy, mummy, wake up. Santa’s been!’ made all the overtime hours worth it. I’m dreading when she’s 15 and it’s just ‘Dad, how much you spending on us for Christmas?’ * All that said. I am getting drunk tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, pretty much mate, infact one of the toys she got was a cardboard box that resembled a spaceship, but because it was expected she got in it, she didn’t and climbed and sat in the laundry basket instead. The  game of what’s inside grandads sock ensued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted December 26, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 26, 2018 Best Christmas in decades. First one with my significant other and she had a brilliant time too for her first ever UK Crimbo. Nicest Christmas meal I've cooked and plenty of lovely booze to go along with it. Probably the best thing is seeing my Gran really getting a second lease on life after a few years of, completely understandable, mourning after Grandad passed away. She had her new boyfriend over who was a nice chap and she stayed up until about 2AM playing board games and tucking into the wine. Hope I'm still enjoying life like that at 80. Only negative is that I've got the slog of seeing Dad's side of the family for lunch today and Dad's back on the sauce, so God knows what condition he'll be in. Hope everyone else had a cracking day anyhow. Enjoyed reading this thread yesterday amidst cooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
