Well, I called DH’s bluff today and he realised that I’m 💯up for separating.

TeaRoseTallulah · 21/12/2025 00:48

You'd barely know it was Christmas these days on MN compared to years ago, constant posts about every tiny Christmas detail ,it was hilarious!

I can't wait either 😂

Weenurse · 21/12/2025 00:49

@MsSmartShoes what happened?

TurkeyQueen · 21/12/2025 00:52

Yes!

Although I have been watching the last few days and it seems quiet really!

sprigatito · 21/12/2025 00:53

Most definitely, DH keeps asking me if they’ve started yet!

WhatTheFuk · 21/12/2025 00:56

I’m only here looking for the work night out dramas, or drunk arseholes acting up. It’s a poor show, this year!

MinecraftMum40 · 21/12/2025 01:00

I’m looking forward to the Christmas fridges tbh! Bit of drama will be entertaining too I guess.

MyChristmasCheerHasBuggeredOff · 21/12/2025 01:04

Oooh me tooooo

Oh god, don't encourage them - we're going to be bombarded with real utterly made up stories about shit DH, DPIL, rubbish presents and ungrateful teens.

Ok , bring them on 🍿.

Same here! It's just me doing whatever I want and it's fun to hear about other people's drama (especially as so many of them feel sorry for those of us who spend the day alone).

Poor us.

I remember the Christmas Moldies happened on MN. Nothing can top that.

That was New Year's Eve wasn't it? Or have I misremembered?

What are the Moldies - sounds ominous?!

It was a massive flounce where some long established posters went off and set up somewhere else.

Yes that was Christmas. 2008. I did misremember. The NYE thing was something else. The mods pulled the plug and shut everything down for hours .

Thanks - sounds entertaining! My mind had gone straight to some mass food poisoning situation.

HelpMeGetThrough · 21/12/2025 04:42

Four of us here and no drama as yet, me, OH and two sons. It’s been drama free and will carry on that way.

Biggest drama so far is me realising yesterday the Christmas decorations and tree haven’t been put up yet.

Thats this morning sorted then.

Ok , bring them on 🍿.

Was there ever any satisfactory final chapter in last Christmas’s saga about some sister in law or cousin who apparently annually purloined any Christmas presents she fancied in the OP’s house on Christmas Day, nicked any useful food to take home, and moaned about the presents she herself received?

She sounded, if she existed, like an utter dose, and a criminally inclined one at that, but still she’d be invited year after year 😳

Zanatdy · 21/12/2025 05:04

I was thinking just this the other day. A quiet Christmas for me this year as just 17yr old DD and I. So i’m here for it!
