Too polite to say my dp was a bad cook,he’d gone to such an effort
Choc pud with choc custard for dessert, it was minging. But I didn’t say
Turns out he’d mistakenly used gravy instead of cocoa powder for the custard

One Christmas Day I couldn't find the Brussels sprouts I KNEW I had bought.

Christmas lunch went ahead without the sprouts and I didn't think about it again until a few weeks later when I went into my then 10 year old sons room to a foul smell.

I found the sprouts under his bed, he had hid them so he didn't have to eat any on Christmas Day!

I had to NC for this as very outing......

Christmas Day feast at relatives house. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and boyfriends all in attendance- approx 30 guests.

As a joke present my gran (who is a size 30) received a sparkly thong. She found it hilarious.

After dinner everyone was getting ready for their desserts when suddenly.....

.....my gran burst into the dining room wearing NOTHING but said thing. She bounced about and proclaimed “Well what do you think?”

I’ll never forget the look on everyone’s faces....

@SleighBellsRingAreYou your gran sounds amazing Grin

SleighBellsRingAreYou · 20/12/2020 17:08

@carolinaweeper she is quite a character! She definitely doesn’t fit into the box if “stereotype gran”. She’s was a very minor celebrity in her heyday. She’s been on TV a good few times and has various friends in the industry.

I want to be like your Gran when I get old. What a legend!

@QueenoftheFarts lol yes - she is often described as a legend!

I’d LOVE to have her “don’t give a damn” attitude bit unfortunately I failed to inherit that gene.

I was shown a video of someone else's hilarious Christmas memory. With true teenage arrogance, their daughter (who was going through an environmental phase of "unwanted presents and wrapping paper are wasteful") had declared that she did not want any wrapped presents at all: no socks, no jewellery, no books, nothing: just money, so she could choose how to spend it, and went as far as to declare that she would not even open any presents addressed to her.

Her parents granted her wish, but made her engage her brain for it, as one thing she did like was riddles and puzzles. When everyone else had opened their presents, the girl was blindfolded, and told that her cash was hidden in the room. She was made to hold a sign revealing the answer to everyone else, and then told to ask questions (only answerable by yes or no) to find out where it was; she was encouraged to move about between her questions. At first, she received loads of "no" answers, until she worked out that when she asked "is it in front of me", the answer was always yes, no matter which way she faced. After a long while, she found her cash: hidden inside her blindfold! At first, she found this utterly humiliating, but it was she who gleefully showed me the video, so she saw the funny side. She did admit later that she felt a bit left out when everyone else unwrapped presents, and she did not.
