I don't have many Christmas traditions, in fact, watching the A Christmassy Ted is the only one. Always a treat. I’m going to be watching it tomorrow with my Christmas dinner leftovers. Still one of my favourite shows of all time. I only own a few dvds, trainspotting, the complete 24 box set, and the complete father ted collection. Quote
Abe_Knuckleball_Schwartz Posted December 24, 2025 Posted December 24, 2025 I have just watched it on DVD, it is for me, like many a yearly tradition Cannot believe it was first shown 29 years ago though! I can remember on Christmas Day going to round to my nana and granddad’s and my granddad still chuckling away about Jack being left in the crèche with all the kids shouting feck. Every time I have watched it since I am always transported back to that time and I probably always will be Quote
