Xmas traditions

[theleader82]

Do you have any unusual traditions? We were never allowed to open our presents until after lunch. Just hadthe stocking presents in the morning. We always used to end up playing charades. I always prefer the cold turkey and gammon on boxing day

The Holy Trinity in the evening. Monopoly, Scrabble and Cluedo.
The stocking shaped chocolate selection pack hoping for a snakes and ladders type game printed on the cardboard on the back.
(Supply your own counters and dice).
The huge anticipation involved in Christmas crackers for a miniature silver ball balancing game, a miniature pack of cards or a
miniature screwdriver set.

I used to be even more of a miserable old sod than I am now.
I hated conventional Christmas dinner so I had a lump of steak.
Then my parents went off to my sisters for a ’proper’ do, with all the concomitant noise and festivities, while I stayed in peace, quiet and 'The Great Escape'.
I had a pile of turkey butties, slices of meat pie, cold sausage, sausage rolls, home-made trifle, home-made mince pies.
Bliss! Until they all returned home.

And I dont even drive.

Xmas eve we always give the kids PJs and always eat out. Breaking it (eating out) this year as we live back in Germany and getting a table in a decent place is next to impossible.

- wrap Mrs subsub's presents with mince pies and port on the go, and H&J on in the background
- wear the hat that comes with my cracker
- watch the darts
- play the TF quiz on Christmas Day

It’s a box of presents that’s now presented to kids on Xmas Eve

Shoe box sized, and full of what we’d all class as ‘stocking fillers’

Fucking mental mate

When I was a boy.....

When I was a boy......those stocking fillers would be the main presents if we were lucky.
Did fare better than the tangerine and nuts in a sock generation.
Had many a jigsaw puzzle or board game and did not complain.
