The CHRISTMAS Thread

If you don't think it's a big deal, then that's your cross to bear, Bear.

As soon as you hear Rea singing "Soon there'll be a three-way" you can never unhear it.

I'd never noticed it before. I will now!

It's like the Ghostbusters song that my son has been listening to loads recently. I'd never really noticed that he sings 'Bustin' makes me feel good!' before and now I can't hear it without thinking how much Ray Parker Jr really loves to bust a nut.

Man suggests the stereotype that men in general aren't organised when it comes to gift buying at Christmas... What a sexist pig. Quick get on the blower to the MeToo movement!!

I've always chuckled at that too. Definitely in there for a subtle reference.

That simple, ain't it?!

The MeToo movement wasn't about casual sexism,but being a casual sexist, you wouldn't know that.

Anyway, back on topic. Same as Langers, trees are up, presents wrapped, Christmas jumper bought, Christmas movies planned, cake iced and decorated, Christmas drinks in the cupboard.With all that's going on I'm quite pleased with myself for being so organised this early.

Going Christmas Tree shopping tomorrow. Em would really love a real tree, but I prefer the ease, convenience and long term savings of an artificial one.

What's the general TWF consensus on this hot topic???

Real needle-dropping tree every time. It's a messy pain in the arse and we always get one far too large for the room but it's the way we do Christmas.

I'm with you about the ease of an artificial tree. Besides, the last real tree I had there was nothing left on it come Christmas day, even though I'd watered and sprayed it as I was told. Nothing beats the smell of a real tree though.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Artificial for us. It's just easier and you can put it up earlier (which the kids like). The cats ALWAYS mess with the tree so would probably end up knocking all the bloody pine needles off it.

We always had a real one as a kid but every year my Dad would wait until the weekend before Christmas before buying it.

We have a good quality fake one, lots less fucking about than a real tree.

 

[Langers]

My girlfriend (who moaned at me for having a shitty fake tree) and my daughter did the tree on Friday night whilst I was watching the football.

In hindsight, I should have done the tree instead.

 

[darlowolf64]

Artificial all the way

 

[Kenny]

Whatever the wife wants. Not really fussed on trees or decorations (must be because I am a man...).

She ordered a new artificial tree on Saturday so I guess artificial gets the vote.

My brother just texted asking if I wanted to join him for a Christmas drink in Brum after I finish work tonight. Which I agreed - and asked where he wants to meet.

He suggested the Christmas Market.

Fucks sake.

:icon_lol: go on, you know you want to.

Real for me everyone, except this year

I love a real tree, but our youngest is a nightmare for crawling and climbing so this will be our first (and only!!) year with a fake one.

I've invested in some senticles to see if i can take the smell. Fake trees are pants.

And real trees are plants! Keep it real!

Careful now...
