I have a degree in English literature but I bloody love those cheesey Christmas books that you can buy at supermarkets. Grin

Love cheesy Christmas movies also.

(I'm also Jewish, but my Christmas love is real. DH takes the piss bigtime) Grin It might be because I did not celebrate christmas at all until I met DH. What a wonderful festival! Bloody loved going to Lapland to see Santa as well.

Judge Judy on fb videos. I’m tragically addicted.

StrawberryJamSandwiches · 05/12/2021 16:33

I'm also addicted to judge Judy Grin CBS constantly run them and I've series linked it ConfusedBlush

I love Mmbop by Hanson, it just makes me feel happy.
Also liked Aqua and Right Said Fred. Richard Fairbrass was gorgeous.

Fridge door canapés sound fab!

AlCalavicci · 05/12/2021 18:37

@SwtPeasOnEarth , love the new Christmas name !
Waves at @iklboodolphrednosedpaindear lobe your Christmas name too , I am also a fan of fridge door canapés , and is sounds so much more sophisticated than snarfing left overs Grin

SwtPeasOnEarth · 05/12/2021 18:48

@AlCalavicci
Ok, fridge door canapés is one of mine...nothing better than grabbing a leftover chicken leg 🍗 from the fridge freezer, standing with the door wide open and taking a big bite, then putting it back in the tupperware for the next time.Xmas Grin poor dh never knows what he's gonna find when he opens a tupperware that I've visited in the middle of the night.

SwtPeasOnEarth · 05/12/2021 18:48

Thanks, Al! Where's your Christmas NC?

SwtPeasOnEarth · 05/12/2021 18:52

Oh no, I've thought of another food related one...when I get a fancy box of chocolates I bite into a piece then put it back unfinished so I can either finish it later or save it for the next person who visits the box...very practical if you think about it..they don't have to guess at the variety they are getting Xmas Wink

@IcedWinterPenguin

Yum. I like those plastic cheese slices on toast. The texture agrees with me.
I hate to admit it, but I love cheese slices too. They melt beautifully over some fresh tomatoes on toast.

I have tried to use other less processed cheeses but they get all greasy.

I am comforted by the ingredient list and the calcium content.

But a very guilty pleasure only DH know about. I suppose it could be worse.

LoveFall · 05/12/2021 19:10

And Below Deck. I am so annoyed they are spoon feeding it on Hayu at the moment with one episode a week. I like to cuddle under my covers and watch it on my tablet in bed.

@RicherThanYew

The people in my life think I am a coffee snob but the truth is that I buy and drink instant at home, I use 3 teaspoons of it. Nothing to do with quality, i just like it fairly strong tasting. I don't like music and honestly I could live without it, it makes me feel bad because everyone harps on about X's new album and how "Y made music in the 90's that paved the way for grunge" and I am trying to stifle a yawn!
I don't like music either not interested in it at all! I hate when my colleagues turn the radio on at work, I prefer silence!!
Graphista · 05/12/2021 22:52

@AlCalavicci defo watch timeless! Only a few series as it got prematurely cancelled as so many series like this are (do you like fringe and travelers too?)

Time travel, parallels universes all right up my street! They're what I write too. With a hefty dose of nostalgia thrown in.

@Vanuatu I love cheesy pop too the cheesier the better! Fave radio station absolute 80's occasionally absolute 90's

I need to ignore the fridge door canapés as I've lost 1.5 stone this year and I'm desperately trying to keep it off with a view to losing another 3 stone next year fridge canapés will NOT help me! Grin

I have to confess I find it hard to understand those not into music it has been a major part of all my life in various ways (singing in choirs since I was 5, playing instruments, enjoying most genres of music made by others in various ways)

Graphista · 05/12/2021 22:53

@AlCalavicci timeless doesn't end on a cliffhanger though fans lobbied for a finale and we got a Christmas special made

MarmiteyCrumpets · 06/12/2021 16:18

I periodically reread all my Mallory Towers books.

BlooBagoo · 06/12/2021 20:50

Does anyone else watch the Curse of Skinwalker Ranch programme? I know it's probably all complete crap but I'm fascinated by it and I've not admitted to anyone IRL that I watch it. I even hide it from DH now when he caught me watching the first series of it and asked why I was watching such shite. Blush

Libertaire · 06/12/2021 20:57

Geordie Shore why aye!

I’m a senior professional person in my 50s…. Blush

AlCalavicci · 11/12/2021 19:16

@SwtPeasOnEarth . . . . . . Ta Dah new name

Novasmummy · 11/12/2021 19:57

Properly trashy magazines. I like the ones where they have worms living in their brain, find out that their new boyfriend is actually their brother or have a dramatic weight loss after discovering pole dancing or something. Cheesier the better. Like AiBU in print form. Also why I come on here. My life's messed up, but not that messed up!

Nearly all the food I like is properly naff too. I prefer my food to come in novelty shapes.

Novasmummy · 11/12/2021 19:58

I'm also addicted to the Teen Mom franchise, not gonna lie.
