What Christmas thread are you most looking forward to

[janfebmar87]

I love a "I'm at the in-laws and I'm starving"
Also "dp didn't propose"

Obviously this is very lighthearted

I don't mind Bayliss and Harding bubble bath

YOU'RE THE CARCASS!

How long do I cook a turkey for?
It's 5pm and I'm starving.
Can't stand the in laws - they are Reform / Trump supporters.
He forget the batteries
He forgot to defrost the turkey.
Can I defrost a turkey in hot water?

Have we had "My turkey has gone off" yet?

No too early yet. 8am tomorrow at the earliest

I love the in-laws who don't eat so don't serve anything threads.

I always think, surely you learnt on year one, bring snacks

It's not like snacks are hard to find at this time of year. Take a cool box full of cheese and a box of crackers and eat them all for yourself.

I'm here for the scented candle outrage.

I thought I'd found it but it was LAST YEAR'S.

@TheDandyLion @drspouse
Sorry, sorry - I'm having some technical problems which are really, really annoying me - hopefully I'll get something posted tomorrow (25th)
Dan

We'll be all the more entertained when we get it!

@DanFmDorking -are you around?

Sorry - the me too was in answer to a poster talking about Dan's Xmas puzzle. Can't find it this year.

Hope @DanFmDorking is ok

Ohh! Just seen @DanFmDorking post above. Looking forward to it. So pleased that u r ok

Hungry guests thread

That and duvet know it's Christmas type ones

Merry Christmas you vipers 🌲 🌲

The unwanted gifts that have been regifted, similar to the secret Santa gift thread.

I “discovered” mumsnet at christmas time and i read every single starving at the inlaws thread with complete fascination. The ones where MIL is microwaving frozen prepared food (aunt bettys maybe?) Honestly i was very impressed with ideas from posters how to snack pack for these tight hosts. I just love the image of opening and closing the microwave then the ding when its done then more opening and closing the microwave

"My DP went out on his works Christmas do on 23rd and still isn't home. And he has all the kids' Christmas presents in the boot of his car. Should I call the police?"

no, count yourself lucky, change the locks asap.

"My boyfriend has gone to his folks for Christmas and for the fifth year, he hasn't included me. I bought him a Rolex watch and Superdry jacket but he hasn't bought me anything. Do you think I'm doing something wrong?"

This one.

The kitchen-chained martyr who does a million things unprompted and has a nervous breakdown like she's Celia Johnson in The Holly and the Ivy.

I love the penis portions ones mainly for the po-faced posters who tell the OP that women need fewer calories and so it’s fine they were served a single cracker and a soy sauce sachet bc only a fat greedy person could want more.

Also the gift giving ones where people
insist it’s normal to have to tell your spouse to buy you a present, or the ones where people insist they would have been perfectly happy with a card and in fact it’s clear a card would not have cut it at all.

I've already spotted two "I've bought him lovely thoughtful presents and he hasn't got me any".
