[Misc] Are you ready for Christmas yet?

[Cheshire Cat]

Christmas is cancelled indefinitely.

 

[Sussexscots]

Ordered enough Wine, Beer and Spirits to cover Christmas and the wearisome war of attrition that January will shortly become.

 

[Knocky's Nose]

I've only put some twinkly lights on the balconies to try and show the neighbours I'm not miserable, but I am. No tree up, no decorations - they've stayed in the loft.

If Christmas can't be Christmas, then I'm not going to pretend. It's a watered down version, and so shall my yuletide accoutrements reflect this. I'm not being grumpy, just realistic.

Next year, if we're back to normal, I'll hit it hard and love every minute.

 

[Weststander]

All done. Largely thanks to Mrs T, Amazon and my credit card. All the nosh sourced from local outlet, Macknade, with delivery incoming. Two guests to dinner, my son and my old pal and neighbour, Bob the (retired) social worker, with whom I watch all footballs (and I mean all the finest footballs known to humanity, accompanied by the finest wines*). If that is against Boris' guidelines, **** him. The utter ****.

Did you watch the Selhurst match on Saturday with Bob?

 

[Tokyohands]

Ready! Presents are wrapped, food n booze in, out on the piss Wednesday night and take the kids to a Christmas market in the evening of the 24th. Bring it on I say.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Just the milk, bread and salad to buy probably on Wednesday.

No - I went out with the family. Txted him though

 

[Easy 10]

I have a 2 year old grandson, so this is his first "real" Christmas where he has some idea that its a special day, so we've already gone all-out on the deccies in the living room for when they come over, and I have to say, it looks truly lovely (except it takes me about 10 minutes to go round and switch all the shit off before I go to bed each night). But sitting there with a glass of wine in the peace and quiet, looking at all the twinkling, with a bit of Alexa...I just love that. Plus I'll be off till Jan 4th, with little to no socialising between now and then, so whats not to like ?

As far as being organised...yup, all snorted. She's got a couple of bits to get, but I'm done, dusted, wrapped, tagged and sticky-starred.

 

[GT49er]

This year? No - and I don;t care. There will be no visitors to GT49er towers, no children and grandchildren coming. Why would I bother getting all the decorations out of the loft for myself, then take them all down and put them away again on twelfth night?

A shit Christmas to end a shit year. Better luck next year!

 

[NooBHA]

In so far as I am intending to utterly ignore Christmas this year, yes, yes I am.

Me 2

But not of my own choosing or doing.

Everything all bought and ready bit no one can bloody attend now.

 

[atomised]

Pretty much. Meat delivered today. All but a couple of presents arrived and wrapped. Puzzled as I'm normally a Christmas Eve panic shopper

I don't normally even put Christmas cards up as I normally go away on holiday. This year I thought. As I can't go away. Make a bit of an effort. Now look how that's turned out. Might as well not have bothered even putting the cards up this year either.

So I suppose Xmas day will be a toss up between Porn hub or Porn hub

Hopefully there will be some wonderful Christmas Carols somewhere on the tele or the radio to remind me of happier Christmases past. There will still be some magic, somewhere.

 

[Tokyohands]

My dad would always put this on Christmas Day when I was a kid, Christmas Day just ain't Christmas Day without it now!

It’s very difficult at the best of times, when you’ve had bereavements in the family. Take care.

 

[Notters]

Stunned that you haven't plugged the Amazon NSC link in your post [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION].

 

[BBassic]

Finished my shopping in November.
Everything wrapped.
About to finish 10th day of isolation so we can go stay with the mother-in-law.

I'm about as ready as I can be.

I won't be seeing my family this year (thanks Boris / Coronavirus) but I'll be having some sort of Christmas at least.

 

[bluenitsuj]

Yes. All done and I did not resort to Amazon once.

 

[LamieRobertson]

No.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Kind of Christmas I used to like...
