What’s the worst part about Christmas?

[Kibble29]

So we’ve heard all the wholesome things like the look on your kids face, the time off work, After Eights by the kilo…but what are the bad parts about Christmas?

For me, it’s Shloer. Ban it immediately.

Also, people who sellotape the paper to the gift itself so that when you unwrap, it pulls a part of the packaging away too.

And people using the term “Chrimbo”.

What is your lighthearted worst bit of the holiday season?

People getting on my nerves 😬

A very scaled back Christmas this year with just kids and their dad so hoping for relative calm

Gift bags and tissue paper. Takes less than a minute per gift 🙂

Fucking Slade and John and Yoko, I had some really shit Christmases when I was younger and I swear these songs give me PTSD 😂

Ah yes, granny dumping.

Going to work, and doing the same amount of work on skeleton staff over the bank holidays with no supporting services. Absolute hell on earth (nursing).
I'm working a normal working week next week including Christmas Day and I could physically kill anyone who asks me when I break up for Christmas I'm so jealous of anyone who gets to spend next week at home eating nice food, partying with their families (I actually like mine!), and having a nice old festive time. There won't even be a microwave in the building I'm based out of next week, I will be eating a Turkey and cranberry sandwich on Christmas Day that I take myself. God love the NHS.
I've worked over Christmas for the last 11 or so years but I think it's probably not helped the fact I really wanted to have a baby this year and it's not happened. Praying for TTC to come good in the NY and to be on Mat leave next year because the thought of another year like this is really not appealing.
I don't voice this regularly, husband tells me not to be a martyr and he's right. I should have thought of this when I chose this career path! Actually I wish I'd known it was dire all year round but Christmas time takes the buiscuit
