No matter how good you are at cooking it’s still not as good a meat as a good bit of Beef.

The last couple of years that we've been in our own gaff for christmas I've bought a good big lump of fillet steak and made a beef Wellington. Braw. The missus has scunnered herself with nut roast so not sure what she'll fancy this year. Think the plan this year is a visit to her folks in the morning then back to Casa Root to be a pair of miserable selfish gits and do our own thing, mostly eating and drinking and having a look on Amazon to see what I can spend my vouchers on when the sale starts.

Also, the cherry picking of German Christmas tradition can gtf. If we can have indoor trees, then we can have Knecht Ruprecht as well. Kids are little sh*ts these days and the threat of a bag of coal is doing nothing. Personally, I'd love a bag of coal for Christmas as it would be a highly practical gift seeing as I have a coal fire that gets most use during the cold winter months, but nobody ever considers that.

 

Anyway, for those in need of enlightenment, Ruprecht is the 'thing' that goes around with Santa and beats up the children with a big stick if they've been bad. Imagine the thought of this guy creeping into your bedroom late on Christmas Eve, that would soon sort you out:

I just like a good quality roast beef if I get my way on the issue, not too fussed about beef Wellington. I’m going up to my folks this year which will be great but next year we have to go to the mother in laws which is going to be shit, plus we will have the child by then so it’s a shame my parents won’t get to have their grand child on Xmas day.

New year is the one that I like the least tbh, just another pointless piss up after weeks of drinking and eating myself sick, have never enjoyed it.

Used to love Hogmanay when I was younger (up to mid 20's) but not been arsed about it since, just an excuse to get batfaced and I've never really needed an excuse.

Well my Boxing Day plan of drink and footballs out of the window.

Apparently I’m to go to my girlfriends grannies for Boxing Day, because she was in tears last night that my girlfriends choosing to spend Christmas with my family.


Think positive. She might be deid by the next one.



Moz the monster reminds me of that Simpsons clip when there is a boardroom conference and the boss of the company says "Try and come out with something that can make us a lot of money, like "Love day" but not as corny" and then in the next scene Marge is saying "Happy love day everyone!" Just a completely shamelessly lazy attempt at grabbing the hearts of our nations children. 
If someone had come out with that idea on the Apprentice, Lord Sugar and Karen Brady would laugh it out of the boardroom. His nose looks like a scrotum as well. Fucking awful.



I don't get that advert at all. The wee boy is clearly knackered but I thought the monster was his pal so why was he so keen to get rid of him? The best thing about the advert is the fart at the start.

Won’t next year be first Christmas with baby throbber? “Oh, we’re just going to have Christmas in ours with the wee one”. Problem solved.
Hogmanay is good, I hate to admit it. The last two years I’ve planned on staying in and doing f**k all because it’s pish. Both times I’ve ended up round my mates bit, getting thoroughly wrecked, having a great night but an utter c**t of a hangover the next day.

This is the first Christmas with baby Estragon and this has very decidedly NOT materialised as a viable proposition.

Anyway, back on topic I've just had my first festive sandwich of the season so f**k your feelings y'all.

Yes it will be, my girlfriend and her siblings go to their mother/fathers house in alternate years and she comes to my parents every 3rd year and its just how it works out with her now having a baby. Wont exactly be fair for my parents only getting their grand child every 3rd year though so not sure how it will work out in future. I'm sure it will be fine but nothing like having it at my folks house.

It'll work out better in future if you show some balls.

There's your problem right there.
I couldn't think of anything worse than spending Christmas Day with 18 members of my family. Shower of c***s.


It wouldn't be my choice either but my wife likes having the family round. I stay in a 3 bed detached house. It isn't made for 18 people. If you throw in the cooking, dish washing and waiting it doesn't make for the greatest of days. I really think the missing element is drink. I need to start drinking earlier on the day.

Leave him alone he is just pissed off cos his little bro will only be there every third year.

(Current theory is you two are brothers. Going to see how it pans out)

 

I will probably just go to my parents regardless and my GF and my child can enjoy Xmas day at the mother in laws and i can catch up with them on th 27th.
