to not stop with the laundry on Christmas Day?

[StNiChaolas]

My washing machine is my best friend.

I think he'd feel lonely if his knobs weren't twiddled with on Crhistmas Day.

I don't think I could survive the guilt of feeling he was neglected.

I'll bet I'm not the only one...

[bradywasmyfavouritewiseman]

Ysbu. Won't be touches after tomorrow, until at least next Thursday.

[Adviceinscotland]

Well it's either stick 2 in on Xmas day or 4 on boxing day so I'm just as well to carry on with the usual routine

[Alibabaandthe40nappies]

I will probably run some through - just undies and stuff, nothing complicated. Otherwise it is just all there looking at you on Boxing Day morning.

[Cutiecat]

I will not be using the washing machine unless it is emergency. Come on give yourselves a break. This is sounding a bit like martyrdom. Eat a mince pie, play with the kids and have a glass of wine.

[slartybartfast]

dont do it.
and i am another one whose wahsign machien is my best firned.
might not be able to resist on boxing day though

[WorraLorraTurkey]

It's only slamming some stuff into a machine and pressing a button so YANBU.

If you were piling them on your head and carrying them to a river to beat them against stones...I'd say chill out and have the day off

[StNiChaolas]

I normally do 3+ a day, we have a house full on both days, I can't bear the thought of Massive Piles.

[HappyMummyOfOne]

Do you seriously need to wash every day? Would drive me bonkers. Only do at the weekend here unless its urgent.

[FannyFifer]

We do a wash each day, Xmas is no exception, it's not like I'm down scrubbing clothes at the river.

[Cutiecat]

No it is not going down to the stream but it is a day of rest to spend with family and enjoy each others company. I have three kids and people staying over Christmas and have no intention on doing any washing. YABU

[FelicityWasSanta]

Who needs to wash every day? Ask Santa for a machine with a bigger drum...

[bluebiscuit]

I do washing on Christmas Day. It takes less than a minute to load the machine and transfer to tumble dryer. Hate dirty washing building up, I wash clothes every day.

[WorraLorraTurkey]

How does popping some cloth in a machine and pressing a button mean you can't 'rest'?

Would you feel the same about popping some food in the microwave and pressing a button?

Not that I care like...I probably won't be doing any myself either

[StNiChaolas]

It's not exactly going to spoil my enjoyment of CD. "slamming and banging" only takes a mo as WorraL said.

What would irk me mist is needing to do 9+ washes on BoxingBoxing Day when we have more visitors.

OKAY?

[bluebiscuit]

Can't understand the "work" argument. Washing takes 1 min out of family time. Cooking on the other hand....well that takes hours and people would be up in arms if everyone said they couldn't be arsed to cook!

[StNiChaolas]

Cutie, when I finally get my friffing extension, I'm having 2 machines.

Go me.

[StNiChaolas]

Alopogies, that was to Felicity!

[WorraLorraTurkey]

"slamming and banging" only takes a mo as WorraL said.

There's no need to splash my sex life all over the board

[HoHoHokeyCokeyPigInAPokey]

I will be twiddling with knobs on Christmas Day too.

[RandallPinkFloyd]

9 loads

Are you the Duggars?

[StanleyLambchop]

I am a bit like you, Op. but I will be letting mine have the day off on Christmas day, I will be twitching by boxing day though. The dishwasher will feature very heavily over the next few days, but somehow loading & unloading crockery is not as satisfying as clean clothes. So YANBU!!!

[SecretSantaSquirrels]

If mine went untouched the laundry pile would become a landmark.
I put it on first before I even feed the cat thing as I come downstairs.

[Cutiecat]

StNic - I am more concerned now about your large piles on Boxing Day. Get some pessaries before the chemist shuts. :)

[Petsinmypudenda]

I will be doing work uniforms on christmas

Putting it in machine- 1 min
Putting all on clothe horse - 5 mins

I think i can manage to find six minutes in the day to get on with it and still enjoy family time

[FestiveOrganisoid]

I normally don't, just get it all up to date before Christmas so there isn't a real build up but last year dd (Ds? Can't remember) wet the bed so i had to do that. I don't have to wash clothes every day normally though- I probably do 3 or max 4 of clothes a week, one of towels and a couple of bedding. I often end up doing them all on two or three days rather than a load a day. Its not the washing i wouldn't want to do on xmas day but the folding and putting away.
