Did you get it personalised?

@Sparklingbrook

Father Christmas is going to be a real super spreader isn't he? Going around everyone's house touching everything and using their glasses and plates. he's an essential worker apparently, but I think he should be furloughed to be on the safe side.

Haven’t you seen noddy? Everyone knows that santa stops time! in all seriousness what the actual fuck happened to the new noddy

Oh no have they messed Noddy up? Didn't they also mess with Postman Pat? I am a bit out of the loop with childrens' tv.

People FLOCKING to supermarkets to stockpile NON ESSENTIAL panettone and mince pies whilst I was there buying totally essential stuff.

This thread has cheered me up ha

Ah this thread is hilarious!

But it is very true that the angst of travelling for five hours to sit on someone's sofa a la Royle Family and have a go about having to go there in the first place will be gone. Largely.

Reset and regroup. Might be a good thing for a lot of people. But I accept it will difficult for many just the same.

Re start Christmas in January when nothing happens and it is so cold and boring. lol.

I'm sorry but mince pies are essential in December. You may take my presents and my turkey and my tinsel but you may never deprive me of my mince pies. Mince pies and Slade on repeat for three hours because I haven't listened to it a million times in December for once, and I'll be pretty damn happy.

That and gin.

Sadly they’ve changed it to this weird “Noddy toy land detective” and I thought the 2009 version was strange, but this one I’m working in a preschool so try to keep on top of the young kids programmes and the new ones are just

What about panic buying in wotsits? I probably go through half a pack a day to be fair

@Hobnobswantshernameback

Oh lord Forgot about New Year's Eve Maybe we could ask HQ for a repeat to spice things up a bit

See if we can break it again 🤣

I’m going to miss the selfish bastards who bring toddlers to the nativity threads

The GIANT ones? They are the best ones.

@Hobnobswantshernameback

Mind you there will be a gap in the market for all threads moaning about school nativity plays

Don't be daft!!!

They'll be all the ones upset that Abigail isn't going to be Mary this year, when she's been year since Reception

Complaints if schools try to do some 'show'
Complaints if schools don't try to do some 'show'

I can think of a million more school based ones

Oh lord someone's will start a thread about the lack of Waitrose delivery slots any day now
I reckon someone has had a solitary sprout in their online basket since February hogging all the best slots

YABU

there will be plenty to rage about, even with a lockdown.
Wait until the "hilarious" anti-elves threads start, and that's only the 1st December!

@Sparklingbrook

Cow bag! I've just spent FAR too long reading about Ice Cream Penguins!! Nice to see some of the old posters. Miss those days!!

Iceland is doing a Irish Whisky Roulade this year.

That thread has reminded me I need to empty one of the Freezer Drawers to make some space fir Christmas Food 🤣

When you see how many threads you can find because someone didn't receive a flipping Valentine's card, I am expecting more angry threads than ever before!

Not me dammit. I was too slow & missed the Christmas Slots. Bugger. Still, should be able to get some sprouts from Tesco in time to put them onto boil by the 15th at the latest!

Personalized, did you say @Sparklingbrook PERSONALIZED ?????!!!!!

dammit. I missed a trick sobs

I don't think I ever got a penguin.

People will be moaning about not being able to moan about Christmas.

Was it Terry Wogan who used to joke about putting the sprouts on to boil weeks in advance?
I have a friend who always comes to us on Xmas eve and we always tease her that she'll have been cooking her vol au vents since June

Oh lord that ducking elf on a shelf
That's one thing covid could do for
