Christmas minus 7...and counting

[Dieseljockey]

Well guys & galls we're going in...7 days to the action...all leave is cancelled from this weekend. You'll have to report in by no later then this time next Monday....with any cornies you have full & polished so that you can see the swmbos face in them.
Any chimbo trees that are not covered in tinsel by that date will go through the chipper.
That's all for now....Stand easy.

Ahhhh the countdown

My leave chitty was filled in and approved weeks ago

This myserhabul ghytte is ahead of you on my countdown, only 4 more sleeps and we head off on Friday morning, join the cruise ship on Saturday for 2 weeks of warmth and overindulgence of food and wine :thumb:

For the first time in 32 years we are not going to have to wait hand and foot on all and sundry, (or work, I worked 10 christmases in a row) it's finally our turn :

Hope the rest of you have a great time and your relatives don't stay too long :whistle:

Humbug

I sit here surrouned by various ornaments, trees, cards etc and the house is lit up like, well, a christmas tree I offer paccification of SWMBO as my defence. Up until 7 years ago christmas was marked by the odd card on the mantelpiece, then I foolishly proposed and was accepted (we still disagree over who was daftest at the time), christmases since then haven't just been about lashings of food and booze, but have had to include shopping and decorations!

Humbug

Humbug indeed.

Why? I mean really Why?

I cant stand organised fun. I can stand even less an entire day of organised fun for the entire planet. You are hereby ordered to proceed to the 25th December whereupon you will have fun at any cost.

Stick your xmas up your nought.

Yay, a fellow scrooge I share your pain, I'd be much less miserable about Christmas if folk weren't so insistant on me having fun and enjoying the day :)

While I agree with you about Christmas, what's the downer on NYE? It's the one part of the holiday that make up for the rest of the enforced jollity.

No pressure to be happy, just meet your mates, drink, talk cr@p and drink some more, a true pagan festival where it's all about pleasing yourself

Wassail! While not just a new year's salute, it does get used a bit where I'm from once the fat boy has buggered off back to lapland :)

Anyone giving brew as a present this year? Did a batch of stout for the bloakes in my family.

A bit of a Scrooge tactic as I know I'm probably gonna get the bottles back of my family. I've lost so many good Duval and swing tops already to "friends".

I think Bachus probably gets worshiped as much as Jesus this time of the year!
