Re: How Excited By Christmas are you?

by Fangirl Three Sun Dec 18, 2022 10:19 am

I'm pretty excited now, I confess. As I travelled from Bolton to Essex yesterday I was filled with a sense of going 'home' for the festive season which I haven't had since my last Christmas at uni, in 1990.

On the radio earlier today, the line in Fairytale of New York, the one that goes ‘you cheap dirty ******’ had been changed to ‘you cheap piece of haddock’. Rather jarring I thought.

I can't believe there's only 2 and a bit days to go before Christmas Eve. scared

I've nearly done all the shopping I have to do.

Now I can relax and buy things I don't need to buy.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Dec 21, 2022 8:48 pm

I've already got two boxes of jam tarts, 3 middling-sized Dairy Milk bars, a large chocolate roll and a big box of biscuits. Excited

Maybe I should also get some proper food in. shifty

I've got 2 litres of vodka on hand and plan to buy another today, and I have 8 litres of sparkling water which I prefer as a mixer these days.

All the food arrangements are being handled by other people this year. I have noticed quantities of mini sausage rolls, crisps, cheese, dates, figs and mince pies being brought into the house. Also there's a large turkey defrosting in the garage.

I got my vodka. I accidentally received a discount by paying with my Tesco Bank credit card, which is apparently also a clubcard.

The traffic was really bad in town at only 10am, I was glad I walked in.

I've finished work for the year!

And I've got 4 booze nights in a row!

Less than 40 minutes to go before it's Christmas Eve. cheer

I've had a mince pie.

And I've listened to the Christmas episode of a certain 90s radio comedy that I listen to every Christmas Eve.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Dec 24, 2022 2:23 pm

I've had a pint of Carling and a packet of biscuits. Excited

by Fangirl Three Sat Dec 24, 2022 3:56 pm

I've had a double vodka. With ice. And Tesco fizzy water.
