What's your minor inconvenience this Christmas?

[LittleMosIron]

We've ran out of celebrations. Tragic.

Brakes have gone on car and can’t get it fixed till Saturday
As usual, can’t find the third stocking.
Theres something I’ve forgotten, but I can’t remember what. Hey Ho, I’ve had a Black Russian and I don’t care.

We had that, and his missus was pregnant. They arrived on a bleedin' donkey! I says no. No donkey's in the house, that's my rule, you'll have to stay in the stable. And then, AND THEN, all bleedin' night night there was a procession of farm workers, some with sheep, one one a cow and all sorts (not the liquorice ones either) and then to cap it all three blokes rock up claiming to be Kings!!! Not bloodly likely I says "You can stuff yer myrrh and yer frankinstein where the sun don't shine (but leave the gold) and offs they trot - on their camels.
What a Christmas that was. We laugh about it now.

Brilliant thanks @ClementineChurchill

Told husband we had goose fat…. Haven’t found it yet

I forgot to get biltong.

This made me cry laughing! 😂

@EdithStourton She's a kind of seer or wise woman in her own way. I like her.

This happened to us a few weeks ago. My BIL had a fire in his garden and burnt it for us. He's doing the same with the wrapping paper In a few days.

That's every day in my house. Except there are 3 dogs and the are all little happy buggers 😖i feel for you.

Had the same problem today, i managed to get some at the coop but only a 4 pack, hope you managed to get some for your dad

I couldn't find J20 Glitterberry anywhere.

Just DD and me, we're not drinkers, and we enjoy J20 at Christmas time.

Oh well, Apple Juice it is then!

@PiperLeo no need to burn it - the council will
Let you put out clear bags with additional card board usually this time of year.

I bought the non cellophane paper last year. Absolute nightmare. So I went back to normal wrapped paper this year. No guilt. Easy wrapping. Bliss. I found a roll from.last year and it had the middle section missing from a huge part of it because I couldn't get it off 😂

My youngest won't fall the fuck asleep despite being in bed for 3 fucking hours.

My mums back has her laid up, it’s severe and even at A&E said ther3s nothing they can do, she just has to ride it out. So she’s not super festive right now. Been pushed from pillar to post and no one wants her to have an MRi… other than that everything is pretty much on point.

Been there… I thought this would be me but dd12 was asleep within 15 minutes, so there is light at the end of the tunnel as they get older…

Despite 3 different people trekking to multiple supermarkets, there was no edam to be found in any of them. We are an edamless household. It's the only thing DB asks for at Christmas. Predict wobbly stiff upper lip tomorrow when the news is broken. This will be up there with the year of no pomegranate (aka the year christmas was ruined).

I'm on crutches. Everything is taking at least 3 times as long as usual and the rest of the household seem to require continual reminders that that I can't carry anything from the fridge to the kitchen, never mind up and downstairs.Adult DD is coming tomorrow thank goodness.

Solidarity @PiperLeo ! I always find wrapping presents monumentally stressful anyway, takes much longer than you'd imagine it will, I sit on the floor and it does my back in, I always lose something mid way through, certainly losing the end of the cellotape over and over despite taking precautions. That new way of doing wrapping paper rolls nearly finished me off.

My husband died.

Oh my goodness! That's awful. My deepest sympathy 😔

Our local has run out. Guiness have stopped exporting to protect the home supply. It's the Split the G challenge that is the culprit.

Bollocks!!!!!! I didn't get any either!!!!!

He chose one yellow, one orange and one purple carrot 🥕 for variety

My milk frother just broke. We will have to have cold flat milk in our morning coffee.

Though we've had it many years and it gets used loads. And we probably don't clean it often enough
