Here's a summary for you - it's full of British traditions like cracker pulling which she explains 🙄 , how to decorate a tree with lights and wearing matching pyjamas with her friends. Harry appears for the last 5 mins.

That's not what I said. You would think she would be wanting to expunge her horrific time in the UK considering she was kept a prisoner with no passport and forced to wear tights! 😳

Just as an aside, if you are not white, wearing 'nude' tights looks ridiculous. That was the point. It was a stupid rule. Same with the LQ's other arbitrary rules that she applied to the women of the family. Maybe she should have been more concerned about other behaviours. Like use of prostitutes and inviting spies and paedophiles to her house.

I don’t like her but I can’t see what is wrong with this , our main tree definitely shows the history of the family my husband and I have made with our two , now adult , children and I would imagine that is normal in most families .

Ours too, she might be using flowery language but our tree has some dodgy decorations that my kids made in primary or some we have bought over the years, some are from my late Mils tree, so it is a total mish mash of lovely memories.

Yes mine too. We still have some dodgy glitter decorations the kids made when they were small, and some decorations we bought on holiday etc

Bit confused about why my comments are being deleted? Very strange thread.

I think that is how Christmas trees are supposed to.be.

Of course this is standard but it is a bit eye popping considering Meghan is no contact with all of her family except one and all of her " married family".

Her family is surely her husband and children? I am in contact with all my family but my tree has nothing to do with them. Its just things the kids made/bought.
Oh and poor little dumb innocent Harry is being kept prisoner by her is he? His poor father is worth 2 billion but can't rescue him from the evil clutches of one woman who makes crap TV shows? Does he have anything to do with the tree or the estrangement from his family?

Her husband is British it is a twee programme about mixing traditions, again what are you so angry about?

I wonder why she didn't include Kwanzaa in it?

I don’t hate her, I just don’t understand what she’s trying to sell (not literally of course, as it’s jam and pancake mix), and the image. She’s clearly not a homey, raise my own chickens kind of gal, so why pretend she is. I just don’t understand the image, she’s not authentic at all.

She's earning money to support her family.

Are you authentically yourself at work? I'm sure as hell not or I'd get sacked!

Celebrations of Kwanzaa have declined across the USA.

You watched something/one you clearly have a problem with and you are coming across as angry at the very existence of a programme you chose to watch !

BemusedAmerican · 03/12/2025 10:41

Is she selling Christmas crackers? I have never seen them here in the US. I also have strong food associations for Christmas. I definitely remember foods that I've made or eaten for the holidays, as do many friends and acquaintances.

The comments to the article are hilarious. One person suggested that Omid Scobie in a tiara and wand was her tree topper 😂.

No that's your interpretation of me starting a thread and discussing this.

But it's part of her heritage? It seems odd to leave that out.

Assuming that she must celebrate it because of her skin colour is racist.

I said heritage. I didn't say anything about her skin colour. Is she racist then presenting this cute and sweet cracker pulling thing that British people do?

I have to sneak my DDs childhood decorations on the tree while they’re sleeping.
They’re 20 & 24 now so don’t appreciate the angel made out of wooden pegs or the Santa made from loo rolls.

no one can see them but it makes me happy to know that they are there 😝

To you maybe. Let me reassure you I am as far from annoyed as you can get - amused yes. Please stop stating how I am feeling. It's beginning to feel a lot like CHristmas oops wrong word - you are picking on me because I am talking about various points of this one off show. Why don't you talk about the things you like in it ?

How on earth can you possibly know that. Beautiful people keep chickens too!
