The Heron Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 I've just seen an advert on tv for people who are on there own at Christmas well all I can say is lucky ******** I'm sat here unable to have a drink because I have to drive tomorrow to to stay with people I don't want to and all the time being polite I wanted to stay at home with just me and the dog instead I have to put up with all this false festive **** roll on the new year.ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 I understand completely. I usually volunteer to work on Christmas Day, it is very little different to any other day. I am absolutely sick of the TV advertisments that start in BLOODY October! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmboy91 Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 After last year I've sworn I won't spend one with my missus family ever again. I've spent a couple Christmas days on my own, ( boys been with he's mum) and love it lol get the sausage rolls in the oven, plenty of beer and chocolate. It seems hard for quite alot of people to understand I'm quite happy with my own company. Maybe you should make your feelings felt,you might be lucky enough not to get an invite back next year ๐ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washerboy Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 I've visited friends and relatives that have never repayed the favour, I've lent so called friends money at Christmas so they can provide for their kids. Learnt my lesson and last year I said no and spent all Xmas with my wife and my son, I go to the gym between Xmas and New year but that's about the only driving I do know the rest of the time is spent at home where I'm approached.ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McSpredder Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 Oh, the Christmases of old, how well I remember them.ย ย ย For years I had to dress up in smart clothes (jacket, collar and tie, etc) andย sit in silence on my best behaviour while relatives who seemed ancient (in fact they were only in their late 50s) reminisced for hours about people I had never met.ย ย Everyone watched the Queen's speech on TV,ย stood to attention for the National Anthem, and then there was Billy Smart's circus, extracts from Walt Disney cartoons, the Black and White Minstrel Show, and the White Heather Club.ย ย ย That sort of thing gets tedious when you are aged 7-15. Some 20 yearsย later there was a spell when weย felt duty-bound to travel each year to the Suffolk coast, so that the kids could spend Christmas with their grandparents.ย ย Pleasant enough when we got there, but it seemed an awfully long drive down from the north of Aberdeenshire in the Herald. All much more relaxed nowadays, we just please ourselves, and the kids (if you can still call them that when they are in their mid-40s) come and visit as and when they feel like it.
