Christmas Day will be at my parentsā house. My sister and the in-laws will be there too. Weāll host Boxing Day, where we employ some cultural appropriation and have non-traditional Christmas food. This year weāre going Caribbean and hoping that the in-laws donāt rock up in Rasta hats.
any word on how the geese are doing?
looking forward to crimbo this year, but first we have to get halloween over with, which is my catās holiday!
Read that as President Lizzo.
Iām backing that.
The acceptable time for doing Christmassy things? 6 November to 6 January. Nothing less, nothing more.
Iāve already paid a Ā£10 deposit for my work Christmas meal.
Iām fine.
So far.
Looking forward to drinking six pints of cider on Christmas Eve, falling up with my brothers and then smoking the traditional Christmas Day joint on the waste ground by the railway tracks.
Railway tracksā¦ In Ireland?
Thereās a reason thereās waste ground there, no more trains in Ireland.
I do love Christmas on DiS though
my sister lives in Australia, my parents are going over there for xmas and I was horrified at the prospect of having to go too because fuck 40 degree heat and long haul flying. as it turned out, i had to go to NZ/Aus a few weeks ago so could justify not going for xmas
it does mean that at the age of 30 it will be the first xmas i spend without my immediate family tho, gonna be odd
No need for Halloween - governmentās sorted out all the horror we need at the end of October.
Throwing rocks at trains?
