That said, I draw the line at carols. Fuck carols. Cringeworthy shit that I have refused to take my kids to every year since they were born and I have no intention of relenting now.
Worse than the Carols are the saccharine fucking Christmas pop songs.
Mark Chapman did the world a favour by at least ensuring there wouldn't be another Merry Christmas (War is Over).
Christmas "Mince" Pies are hideous things

The shop-bought ones are fucking awful. Like eating cardboard and dead flies.
And don't get me started on trendy christmas cake - the ones where some fluffybunny decides to go all artistic and decorate the cake with bloody Tonka beans rather that marzipan and icing.

I love Christmas provided my boys are happy and I’m pissed.
I’m a simple guy.
Have you ever considered they might be happy because you’re pissed?

I good mince pie is a thing of beauty. This rules out virtually all shop bought stuff. But a home made pie with quality mincemeat, proper home made pastry and a thin layer of marzipan twixt the two is sublime.

Fucking Tonka beans deserve their own thread.

@Catogrande yeah it was my worst toy ever. All my mates had the trucks and I just had the bean.
Wait. No.

Ignore the marzipan, but agree on home-made. Mincemeat matured for a month or so in brandy, freshly baked and with brandy-infused clotted cream. Heaven

Ha! Dunno if the news reached Kernow, it was a few years ago about a village in Dorset called Chideock. On the A35, narrow high street, lots of traffic. This one old boy in protest decided to use the pelican crossing. One way, then the other for hours on end so the traffic ground to a halt. He did this for nearly a week. It was chaos.

Come on: "Mince" pies and they're fucking fruit? Where's the meat?

Cos' traditionally fruit was bloody expensive at Christmas and meat was cheap and plentiful. Luxury item.

This. Those fluffybunnies that actually slow down. And pricks who don't wave a "thanks".
There’s a special rung in hell for those fluffybunnies
