To be thankful Christmas is over for another year....

[Oakenbeach]

Presents opened by 6am.... Dinner eaten and decorations RIPPED down and back in the loft. Roll on New Year.

properly researched crackers!

Sometimes you just need to relax
Do something mindless
Imaginative
Creative

Noòoooo you should be planning your boxing day sales itinerary not wasting time having fun you mindless inferior type person.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

nd I can sit down satisfied no one is having a better vegetables than me

The best veg are home grown.

Fact.

You could research optimum and efficient ways to home grow veg.

I grow most of my own veg, so we had loads of homegrown produce that we'd frozen fresh from picking earlier in the year. Way more fun than researching veg (seriously, who would do that? Just buy what's in the shop when you go!).

This is a pile of shit though. I still think that OP is and failing dismally to be funny. It's a bit bizarre as the tone just isn't right!

Spend months researching and planning for a festival that you remove every scrap of halfway through the first day of it. Seems legit.

Indeed.

Bloody hell. I've only ever once heard of anyone finishing Christmas early on Christmas Day and that was a relative many years ago, who was so sick of hearing the kids squabbling and fighting on Christmas Day morning, that he rammed the Christmas tree through the door into the garden and set fire to it, complete with decorations while shouting that Christmas was bloody finished. 😂

That is awesome!

Unfortunately, unless it was written on the schedule 3 months in advance, it was a bit shit of him and the OP could have done it better with carefully researched matches or possibly a blowtorch.

Brilliant!

Well OP, on the off chance this isn’t a wind up- I actually would like to get more organised generally.

Where would you recommend I start?

Research is the buzz word, @Wilmalovescake. So hours online!

Ohhhhh you're the person who leaves before the encore at a gig and always misses the best bit and surprise guests. I always wondered why people do this.

Have you ever savoured a moment or are you always rushing to the next thing?

Also, why are you so concerned with what people are supposed to do? Buying sweets etc? Do you ever just do something because you enjoy it rather than because it's what you're supposed to?

Cos nothing spoils Christmas like some stranger having tastier carrots than me. The bastards.

This thread is actually brilliant as it's made me very glad I'm not the OP and have a much more relaxed approach to life!

Katie Hopkins. Is that you ?

Maybe that's the aim, Gingenie. It's like a real life Christmas Carol unfolding on Mumsnet. Kind of the OP to do this for us, really. Seriously though, OP, maybe think about whether this way of thinking is helping you get the best out of life. There really is more out there to be enjoyed.

This thread has made me laugh a lot, which I need it at Christmas. The OP is the funniest of all (and I mean this in a good way - I love the archness of your posts). @Oakenbeach, I have been on MN for nearly 20 years, and you are a reminder of why I bother with it all, amidst a sea of wokeness, worthiness, and huns.

This thread is still going!
OP, please tell us this is all tongue in cheek.
It's actually bothering me that someone thinks like this (clearly I need to find an actual problem, but still).

I'm not the OP and have a much more relaxed approach to life!

No one gets to the end of life and wishes they’d been more “relaxed”. When my foot kicks that bucket at least my life’s to do list will be completed and I won’t look back on so many wasted hours and minutes like many of you inevitably will. I live my best life by making sure my life is the best it can be.

It's called fun OP. My favourite moments are those that occur at random and really make you appreciate life. That's what I remember when I die.
