Christmas 2024

I've just watched the last half hour of A Wonderful Life (I watched the whole thing last week), and now I'm watching Polar express (without children). Only because I couldn't find White Christmas.

White Xmas is on sky cinema if you have it

Thanks for that, but I've moved on to Michael Bubble singing Christmas songs.

Roll on January, when I can go back to The Beekeeper and other highbrow films.

Watched Wonderful life ages ago. Good init. Must be a million n times now. Best thing is to try and spot the continuity errors. Don't IMDb them. Try and find them. There are loads.

 

[Crazyface]

Best one is when oo I dunno some bloke walks off screen and falls over a load of stuff. Clank clang but they kept it in lol

 

[Crazyface]

Yup we've watched it that many times we know the lot.

Youve obviously been undercooking them!

I don’t cook them. Missis Tash takes great delight in hiding them on my plate for Xmas dinner. A bit like a sixpence in your pud. She thinks it’s funny

My mum did this throughout my childhood. I'd always find them, she'd be disappointed.

My wife gave up with sprouts on my plate a very long time ago. She would try but when I would spend a minute checking under things, taking them out, putting them to one side, it would irritate her so much that she stopped it . She thought that somehow I'd just accept them and eat them. She was very, very wrong

We put £400 a month into a separate account each month for my wife to spend at Christmas on every man and his dog. It make her extremely happy.

We do similar- but with £30 a month . Once nieces and nephews are over 21 (most are now) they don’t get presents so only our parents and special occasions (landmark birthdays such as 40th) for the adults.

My wife doesn't drink or smoke. Her hobby is spending money and when it comes to the family spending it on them makes her happiest of all.

It makes the kids pretty happy too

I have a memory as a very, very, small child of my mum being annoyed that I spat out her lovely boiled cabbage. She took my dish away and, unknown to me, spent an age swapping the contents of the pea shells with pinches of the cabbage.
(We're talking Leo dried peas, peashooter ammo).
I dont know how she managed it or how long it took. She brought the dinner back with cabbage removed but peas galore.
I took a spoonful and spat them straight out.
I can still see the "You little essodee" expression on her face

I still have no idea what to buy the missis for Christmas maybe this should be in the irritations thread

Could you not just ask her?

Just don't do what I did one year.
She said "Nothing really" and I believed her.
That was a Christmas to remember!

Starting to sweat yet ?

I am

That starts when your in your 60’s.

See our system just works

Either tell each other what to buy or just buy and give to the other one to wrap

I know I got 2 tops , 2 caps and a belt coming from her and the kids

Opened card from my nan yesterday, she puts money in..thanks nan new cushions will be bought

Parents will do same

Focus the surprises on the kids

I just ask my daughter what my wife would like. She then buys it for me and even wraps it. I do pay her back though!!
