ICTJohnboy Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 This is essential viewing for anyone out there who is fed up decorating Christmas trees, buying cards and gifts which you know won't be appreciated, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. I have to watch this every year at this time - it's the only way I can get through it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Eh like tae put £20 a month aside towards Christmas but Eh dinnae trust myself no tae raid it when times are hard during the year.

peasy23 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I was too young to remember it as I wasn't quite 3 yet, but my Grandad died on Christmas Eve, I would guess that must have put a bit of a damper on Christmas. Flip side though is I suppose it would have been extra dinner for everybody else. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm taking a wild guess it's because December is in summer in Oz - crazy idea though as you suggest 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
