Xmas version of things you wouldn't admit in real life....

[TinselTina]

I wish people would stop mentioning my 5 foot 3 height like im an outlier.
I cannt believe I married my ex. I needed to be in a mental hospital not marched up the aisle.
I dont care if my child is clever or not.

Just me then.

I really dislike my in laws and always have.

Fil gives me the shivers when we are in the same room so I don’t put myself near him.

I wish my dh would stop being a moody twat

A friend shared a picture of the cookie dough dessert she was eating (ordered from a local dessert shop). I wanted to say that’s disgusting and why would you put that in your body.

None of these have anything to do with Christmas.

I really, really don't like my soon to be sister in law. She's a real mean girl. Thankfully I don't have to see her often so I can just pretend I like her "feisty, no nonsense, brutally honest" personality.

And since this is apparently supposed to be a Christmas themed one... I'm actually off all Christmas this year but have told my family I'm working because I just want to be left in peace! 🙃

Just a general festive thread.

Here's a festive one from me... im so happy my child would rather be with me at xmas than his dad.

Hate my sister in law. Yaba yaba blah blah me me me. SO looking forward to seeing them Christmas day 🙄

Friend please ease of the weight loss jabs now. It's aged you 😔

I think Christmas Day is shite. I like the build up and the holiday from work but the actual day is a damp squib and I hate having a massive dinner at 3pm. Everyone falls asleep afterwards and then about 7 o’clock there’s a half arsed attempt to have “family fun” when I would rather just go to bed and read a book or watch Seinfeld.

Hogmanay and New Year’s Day are both awful but there’s less pressure to pretend you’re enjoying them.

I like your style, @JudgeBread !😆

My DH thinks I need strict instructions on watering the Christmas tree, even though I spend the rest of the year tending, feeding and watering the both of us, the cat and every damn plant in the house and garden...

I'm going to let the cat lick his turkey this year. 😸🦃

I don't like the special chocolate trifle that gets made every year. Person who makes it is very proud and I don't want to upset her.

The religious aspect of Christmas ruins it 😳🫣

I no longer enjoy christmas. I like real tree, thats about all. I am on duty, there is no fun.

I throw loads of Christmas gifts away every single year. I feel terrible but I receive so much shit every fucking year. I don’t want presents but I can’t say that as it sounds miserable. But just tat. Clutter. Hand creams. Bath stuff (I don’t own a bath). Smelly stuff that smells like piss. I smile and pretend to be grateful every year. But it all goes in the bin.

That I'm glad my dad isn't coming for Christmas this year....but I wish he would stop driving even though he's not really safe

I love the magic of Christmas for children but hate how it ends when they stop believing 😕 But then it's good as money is saved from no more stocking presents 😆

Xmas is not an enjoyable time for me at all these days . But because I used to be so enthusiastic everyone now assumes that Soonenough LOVES decorating , shopping , wrapping and cooking . Really I rather fuck off to some hot spot by myself.

Mrs B
Could you donate the unwanted gifts? Charity shops or even sell them online ?
Seems sad to throw them out.
( or just hint that you have an allergy to certain smellies and can’t use them ?)
Im honestly not being goady, but it seems sad you just thrown them away!

I hate awkward table chat on Christmas Day about how the roast potatoes were made. How nice the soup is etc.

I know. You’re absolutely right and that would be absolutely the right thing to do. Even writing this I know I sound like a horrible person. But I can’t add extra admin and tasks to it as someone might find out that’s what I’m doing so I just secretly dispose of them. And I’d never get round to it so they’d just sit in a pile until next year. I know it’s a terrible thing to do.

I’ve never been keen on Christmas
Years ago it wasn’t as commercial and just a time for people to get together. It seems to be more about the insta photos now! ( I know I sound like an old gimmer !)

If this is happening all over the country/world what an environmental fucking catastrophe.

My thing I wouldn't say in real life (and probably should) is that this is bloody shameful and sums up the consumer/waste monstrosity that is the modern commercialised Christmas.

If you don’t celebrate Christmas it feels normal. I thought it would be strange. But it just goes by like any other day.

@Gribouille us “Turkey” a euphemism? 😂😉😳

We made a decision back in the 90s to do away with present buying for the adults.
It didn’t go down that well, but people moved on and saw sense eventually! I know it’s hard for people to accept that you don’t want presents , so it’s not for everyone ! ( plus took a bit of courage as people get upset ! )
