Xmas Grin Luff you Shaky!

EmpressOfTheNorthPole · 24/12/2012 21:45

DW says you're welcome, Dreamy.

Brilliant, Shaky!

DreamyDreaminOfAWhiteChristmas · 24/12/2012 21:46

Hang on - was just reading the Fairytale of New York Mumsnet thread, and it reminded me - weren't we going to put on a Nativity? We are leaving it a little late!

ShakySingsMerryXmasEveryone · 24/12/2012 21:50

Once in royal puddle city
Stood a lowly mumsnetter
Found the bestest place to hide
Where all is nice and civilised.
No bunfights, trolls or bitching
No one is unreasonable.
Nice blankets, throws and cakes
Gorgeous little baby State

Eek! We were! Ok.... Um...

State and Family's roles are obvious. I think Olivia should be the Angel Gabriel.

ShakySingsMerryXmasEveryone · 24/12/2012 21:54

Oh shit I forgot about the nativity!

Hello Puddle! I've been lost in Christmas but am just prepping for tomorrow. Just me, DH, DD and DBro tomorrow. So all rather low key but still need to get veg and stuff ready.

I think my sodding IBS is rearing its ugly head though. It was blissfully absent whilst I was pregnant. Grr.

So a question for those who are much more seasoned than me, what on earth do you do with a baby over Christmas when there are no groups and stuff on?

DreamyDreaminOfAWhiteChristmas · 24/12/2012 22:00

Where's Bonkey with her Shitland? We need a donkey!

The 3 wise men are probably on the twat bench, shall we let them off for the performance?

I think I should probably be a shepherd too as I seem to spend most of my time herding children and animals around. I'll go and get a tea towel.

Snow - soft play, and play dates with friend's Dc's. Some groups do still run through holidays so have a look around.

SantaKissedBonkeyMollocks · 24/12/2012 22:04

Here we are - just in time btw the looks f things.

DreamyDreaminOfAWhiteChristmas · 24/12/2012 22:07

Thank god you're here, State needs a lift to Bethlehem Tesco. Xmas Grin

EmpressOfTheNorthPole · 24/12/2012 22:12

I'll be the innkeeper. Shall I go find Olivia?

EmpressOfTheNorthPole · 24/12/2012 22:16

Shaky, just seen your Once In Royal Puddle City, that's great.

ShakySingsMerryXmasEveryone · 24/12/2012 22:17

Hey Snowy will you be the director?
Or would you prefer another role?

OP posts:
ShakySingsMerryXmasEveryone · 24/12/2012 22:21

And do you know, not one of the 3 twats wise men offered to help me!

OP posts:
DreamyDreaminOfAWhiteChristmas · 24/12/2012 22:23

Have the 3 Wise Twats come bearing gifts? They'd better have?

ShakySingsMerryXmasEveryone · 24/12/2012 22:27

Yeah, they've bought an iron, a cheese grater and a copy of fifty shades of shite! twats

OP posts:
DreamyDreaminOfAWhiteChristmas · 24/12/2012 22:28

Utter twats!

EmpressOfTheNorthPole · 24/12/2012 22:31

Be nice, it's Christmas. I've just shouted out to Olivia on the Fairytale thread.

Stateman is Joseph so the Three Kings are Shakyman, Bonkeyman and Dreamyman?

DreamyDreaminOfAWhiteChristmas · 24/12/2012 22:35

Ok, but Dreamyman (! snort!) is ill, so I hope he doesn't cough all the way through his lines.

So do you have room for MaryState and JosephStateman at the Inn, Empress?

EmpressOfTheNorthPole · 24/12/2012 22:39

Not on the top floor where the bedrooms are, but there's a lovely warm room downstairs where the animals go in the winter. Clean straw and I'll put some warm bedding in the manger.

StateofConfusion · 24/12/2012 22:39

snow firstly your dd is so so cute (facebooks my keep awake for night feeds tool Xmas Grin I've no idea, I remember ds' first christmas feeling lost as our groups all stopped I think I just took advantage of any friends/relatives who were off work and he enjoyed his presents.

Fantastic songs shaky!

Hope littletee isn't up too early tee

giraffes the flowers are beautiful, thinking of the expat family and you, Aillidh really did capture the hearts of many xxx

We are still wrapping here, ds and dd had a bad day behaviour wise, I cried, they got worse, I cried again, dp went postal at them, I cried about that, fecking hormones are worse than when I was pregnant (oh how I miss being pregnant) and I ended up having a row with my aunt, all in all my christmas spirit has been stamped out of me. Luckily baby state is a poppet and has cluster fed since around 6pm until half hour ago so I've been trapped under her squishy lovelyness whilst dp attacks the wrapping and I've come out in a mildly better mood, I'm just hoping and wishing and praying the big two are far nicer tomorrow.

Also the bastard surgeon I got for my section has ishoos with people going home to older dcs so used fucking staples on me, to say they're uncomfortable and hurt doesn't cover it, midwifes agreed to come out on boxing day and remove them for me as that's day 7, however they could wait a day or two apparently, when she should only be on emergencys I'm so fed up of them I had very little discomfort after my previous sections but this is utterly debilitating!

Anyway enough of my whinging, I best help dp wrap something.

DreamyDreaminOfAWhiteChristmas · 24/12/2012 22:44

Only if it's a bugaboo donkey.

EmpressOfTheNorthPole · 24/12/2012 22:45
Grin
DreamyDreaminOfAWhiteChristmas · 24/12/2012 22:46

Oh and staples? Ouch! Glad you can get them out on boxing day. Lily is so scrumptious, I'm broody already, and my baby is still a squidgy, snuggly baby!

EmpressOfTheNorthPole · 24/12/2012 22:52

Maybe the MiniPuddlehumpers could be the animals?
