"Why do people get so stressed. It’s just a holiday, relax.
Do whatever you need to do, if you’re getting wound up, you’re doing it wrong.
All your shopping and wrapping on Xmas eve?"

Why when I was a kid all the family popped in to see me and drop presents off?
Now I’ve got kids I have to drive all over the North East so family can see the kids? |

"Christmas cards!! Wtf why??? They just collect dust on my shelf them they go into recycling "
Because everyone loves a Victorian snowy scene that cost 55p from a cheap card shop 
Lob them straight in the recycling and save the dust gathering

Why does my mother in law have to smoke so much and drink so much whiskey that every year I have to air the children's presents?
It's really hard this time of year to get the smell out as I can't leave things in the garden |

So are you dropping her a hint and buying her a vape so she blow clouds of strawberry mist on the presents next year?  |

Ewww that sounds awful. No consideration at all.
In future, smear a small amount of dog shite on her presents to return the favour

"Did early morning food shop at supermarket. Was still busy at 6am! Got back to car...forgot milk. Went back in, self service...massive queue. Gave up got it from local shop.
Bah humbug!"
Doesn't bode well - I was planning to go at 6 tomorrow. I am feeling your pain already
Approved for the busy
Denied for forgetting milk - it's self inflicted |

55p card, cheap?
5 or even 10 cards for £1 is my budget!
In passing, a couple of days ago I heard a radio presenter trying to give momentum to the idea of 'Humbug Day' (21 Dec) which is the day on which the most people are most likely to be pissed off with the entire Christmas build up.
Ironically, I had just tuned to his station having got fed up with non-stop Christmas songs and the word 'Christmas' being uttered 100 times an hour on the previous one.

I had to queue for ages outside the butcher's yesterday, in the cold behind a man who wasn't dressed for the weather, wore no socks and track suit trousers with trainers you could see the shape of his toes in. Now he's allowed to wear all that but it was cold so it was getting on my nerves. Then, to top it all off when it finally got to his turn he made the butcher show him every item he'd ordered, paid for it then bought another load of stuff. I eventually got inside couldn't understand the butcher through his mask and he'd spelled my name wrong.
The butcher said
"sorry you've had to wait" and he was so busy and remained so cheerful that I smiled and said
"It's no problem, happy Christmas" and I meant it

Now this is a quandary - seems to be a happy ending here and not the sticky kind.

I had three mean messages, all in first messages too.
I actually feel sorry for them, because they must be quite unhappy to take the time to be horrible to someone they’ve never spoken to. |

I messaged everyone and said I wasn't sending cards. I was donating some money to charity instead.
Also, retailers who reduce the Christmas presents on Boxing day make me bite through my steering wheel.  |

I work from home and I’m on my fifth forced laptop restart this afternoon. IT have remotely logged in and he’s faffing about but I hate having to wait when there’s hardly any of my team in today. We take calls so I feel guilty for not being able to help out. The IT guy is a sweetie but he has to keep asking for help from other people so it’s taking ages.
Thanks I needed that little rant although it’s not very festive |

That was the worst bit about COVID for me, not tasting or smelling anything for 3 weeks. Hope it comes back soon but try smelling strong scents like coffee or cinnamon so the sense remains trained  |

Never heard of Greg Lake?
Bing Crosby, The Andrews Sisters, The Crystals, Mariah Carey, Neil Diamond, Bruce Springsteen, Frank Sinatra, Bill Evans, Chris Isaak, The Temptations, Michael Bublé, and The Jackson 5 did not sing Father Christmas is coming to town
