It's about a breakup and you'd be as well substituting "valentines" and it would actually make more sense. At no other point does it mention any Christmas related things. Been hearing this song a lot. The way he says "gev you my heart" and "sev me from tears" really annoys me. I'll get my Christmas music from Shakey thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt n Vinegar Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Not sure if this should be here or in the PTTGOYN section, but my big Christmas gripe is about dishes. Aye, fkn dishes. All the problems in the world, and I'm raving on about dishes. Mrs S&V insists on using the "good" dinner plates for the Christmas meal. Trouble is, they're that fine china stuff, so can't hold the heat. I can heat them in the oven but within about a minute of food being put on them, the plate and the food are cold. Hate it. The "day to day" plates are thicker and hold heat just fine, but for allegedly the most important, family orientated meal of the year... no, no, can't possibly use them...must use the "good" ones. Mental. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mental. You know the answer - an accidental breakage of one of her favourite dishes should suffice. Maybe just a saucer, though - you don't want to spoil Christmas completely. P.S. If you take my advice you're a brave man. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Naitch Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 That’s the Christmas tree up and just watched my first Christmas film of the festive season. Going out again for Christmas lunch this year, saves a lot of hassle on the day itself and gives more time to just enjoy it all. It’s my 40th on the 22nd so plan on making the most of the week or so I’ll get off work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Christmas shopping all done today. Left the house to kick it all off at 1, home before 6. Everything now in hand, no need for deliveries in dribs and drabs, no trips to the mail depot at the stupidly narrow window they specify, etc. Pint of Burnside in a pub and even a haircut en route, plus a few whisky tasters in the shop. No other half with me, so chit f***ity chat. Better still, my card never got cancelled due it getting used multiple times in an hour. Learned my lesson from previous years, hence took out a pile of cash at the start of the day. Anyway, job done. Feet up, relax... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIVIFOREVER Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 My wife buys all the presents, i do the food shop and cooking, works for us. Will be the both of us at ours, with both mums and our daughter for xmas day, then the both of us, our daughter and her other half at ours for boxing day, oh and the two pooches. Will get out for an early morning walk with the dogs before starting on the dinner. My daughter likes the Santa Clause film, so that's kinda a tradition now, coming round to ours in the morning to watch it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas dinner should ALWAYS be served in the "good" dishes.
