Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted December 11, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted December 11, 2023 First off, cards on the table. I'm not the most christmassy person. I like all the food obviously, but enforced fun. Not really my thing. So anyway, today I got this Christmas card, and to me it begs the question: Is this Christmassy? It seems to imply that the cow has eaten Santa and all that is left is his hat, or that the cow has chased Santa who dropped his hat and the cow is now going to eat it. Obviously there are loads of things that are traditional on cards. Santa, reindeer, robins, snowmen (Or snowpersons) Christmas trees, but cows? Outside the nativity are they traditional. Does this card invoke the Christmas spirit? Obviously this card wasn't from Ralphy but bonus points to anyone who has a Christmas card with biscuits on it.

SuperBacon Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 If Elf on a fucking Shelf is "Christmassy" then yeah I think that counts. Lovely card. Anyone else playing "Whamageddon"? Not normally the "wacky" fun I go in for, but the kids are trying to get me to lose and are failing miserably. Voice notes, blind links etc. The little shits, they will never win. I did like the story of the stadium DJ playing it at Northampton Town and knocking out thousands of players at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every shitty Irish folk band and tone deaf cunt that plays in the downstairs pub does a cover of it so I'd lost by December 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the game’s website (yes, it has its own website) “Rule #3 - only the original version applies.

Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted December 11, 2023 Author Paid Members Share Posted December 11, 2023 Whamageddon is the sort of thing that shouldn't be taken at all seriously but is. We play a less rigorous version of it but we use the true king of Christmas songs, Stay Another Day by East 17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chili Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) I don't know when, but I just completely fell out of love with Christmas at some point. I get asked what presents I want and I never know because I've never thought about it. I'd usually just buy it myself. Also last few Christmases it's just not been affordable so they're always fun familial conversations. The movies are mostly shit, the music is mostly just ok at best and definitely was not is, Christmas markets are just horrible overpriced cattle markets for men in bad jumpers and lasses dressed vaguely like they're in the Last Christmas video. Everyone looks like a miserable extra in the big scene of a Richard Curtis movie. I think this is definitely an effect of time, age, living in house shares, being generally a bit of a loner and finding the pressure of Christmas and the month of December a bit too much. I don't hate Christmas, I just don't find any fun in it. Which I guess is kinda jaded and sad. Not intending to have kids either so probably not my thing anymore. I hope nobodies post is as meh about it as mine. Edited December 11, 2023 by Chili Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlesTuckerTheThird Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I bloody love Christmas! Not all the commercial kitschy tat, but spending time with family, good food, bad telly, awful jumpers, Doctor Who specials, the good stuff. I'm a little bit jaded on Whamageddon as I was Whambushed 3 days in on Maffew's (of Botchamania fame) Twitch stream 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooly is lumping on Cardiff and also going to spend the whole day trying to set the airport on fire. Got to roast those chestnuts somewhere.
