christmas isn't christmas without....

...The Sound Of Music on TV! (Luckily, I really like it)

Last year was my first non-family Christmas, but in days of yore it was recognisable by a glut of satsumas & dates in a long oval box (it is obviously a tradition that everyone avoids eating them:D ), the tree lights fucking up, & my brother & dad getting into an argument & waving carving knives at each other over the turkey. (In later days that was my bro-in-law & nephew). And sprouts.

Last year myself & Antelope had a bottle of expensive-ish red & a mushroom tart & (apart from buying each other prezzies) that was our Christmas celebration!

Neither of us have trees, as with delinquent cats that would be a disaster. When we buy our new house he will have to put up with my massive collection of ornamental reindeer, though. :o :D

Those are my only concessions to Christmas decs - cards & enough reindeer to fill a tundra!

Feigning excitement when unwrapping gift sets of cheap body lotion and nighties with 'nutty tart' and the like on them. Falling asleep at 2pm after too much Baileys

Hit the nail on the head there.

Big bowls of nuts which make you feel inadequate when you can't crack them.

If you do it in a certain way you can crack walnuts with your bare hands. You have to get two, join up the pointy bottom part of one with the seam of another and SQUUUEEEZE. That should make up for any other nut related inadequacies.

Reading this thread it's occurred to me that I don't really like any Christmas food :eek:
