It’s the commercialism of it I ****ing loathe the most. Well that and the forced joviality. My daughter made the mistake of buying me a Christmas jumper the other year, I went full on Jack Dee.
You'd have to lather yourself up in whale fat to get in the sea up where you are. **** that straight off the bat. Nutters.
Yeah, we get that locally. There's a news years day one at a different beach too. I've done neither, **** that.
I swim and get in the sea most of the year, so there's no ****ing way I'd choose to strip down to my undercrackers and do it on xmas day. I'll be eating crispy crackling, drinking rum and sitting next to the fire.
Each to their own of course but I can't see why joviality needs to be forced at Christmas. NYE yes, that's bollocks, but really enjoy Christmas. Yes, I get it, for some it's a tough time and people have their own personal stories and issues. In the main though, it's a great two or three days. The build up is OTT of course but so what, better than talking about Spurs.
Just me an the wife this year. plan on having roast goose. Will probably go to a boozer for a few pints. One local by me does free dinners for the homeless or lonely pensioners with no family. Will probably have a couple of beers and chat to some of the coffin dodgers bring them a bit of Christmas cheer. Haven’t really thought about anything else as yet. Will get some nice cheese. Black sticks blue and a massive Camembert. I want to do that thing where you bake the Camembert inside a loaf of bread then dunk steak in it. Do a ham for Boxing Day.
