Come in if you Hate Christmas

Girl I know who works 16 hours a week and partner who doesn't work spent £3000 on presents for their 3 children.

Status only matters to people who don't have it.

It is easy to be judgemental of people who apparently spend well beyond their means at Christmas, but for many who do without all year, it is a chance to spoil their family.

If nothing else Christmas breaks up the winter, Winter would be such a long drag of a season without that mental & physical holiday.

It does that, at least by the time I go back to work in the new year the days are lengthening, if only marginally. It gets you thinking about spring.

So let's keep the holiday days off and get rid of all the other shite

Christmas for me is eating them cheese balls, cockles in vinegar, and doing a jigsaw. Jesus himself was a fan of all 3.

Love Christmas. But starting the elf on a shelf was as big a mistake as I've made. Anyone who hasn't started it. Please, please don't. Not only is it a pain in the a$$, it just makes the older kids question everything more as well. Whoever started it deserves to have 12 branches of Holly rammed where the stars don't sparkle.
Oldest's last year of Santa this year, so she'll be taking on the mantle for the younger two next year. We'll See how fond of it she is then!!

Any tips on how to avoid starting elf on the shelf, my kids are starting to hear about it at school so may have no option but to do it next year 

Tell them Santa sent a Robin to keep an eye on them instead. Put birdseed out and hope for the best!! 😀
The Robin was what we were told when we were small.

There are plenty of suggestions on Facebook. Where he throws toilet roll down the stairs for example, or ends up in the fridge or outside on the car. But it's 23 or 24 days in December so simple moving him around the house works.

Missed all that shite

I fell out with Christmas when I was a teenager because the magic had gone. It took a while to grow on me again, and it's back in my good books again. Having kids helps.

Our Elf has been a resident of the top of the Christmas Tree since day one.

Tell them every elf is different....."ours like to be on top of the tree, so he can look out the window and see whats happening in the neighborhood"
