Christmas! What I’m doing, eating, opening, giving right now!

[shortgirlproblems]

I’m actually sitting crying into my wine glass. I’ve done absolutely everything for Christmas. Ive done all the shopping bought for our 3 kids, my family & my husbands family. My husband hasn’t handed me a penny for this. His only contribution to Christmas is cooking for everyone. I actually don’t mind doing It all it’s the money side that really bothers me. I have been fighting with him for a months over this. I have argued till I’m blue in the face like it’s just not normal that it falls to me evert year. My kids wouldn’t have much if it wasn’t for me. We both work but my husband is a high earner & is a miserable f#&cker. Its Christmas Eve & I’m just thinking I want a divorce. I have a beautiful home three wonderful kids & I’m feeling so unhappy

merry christmas!

this year i am away from home/family, with my boyfriend's family in germany. he's snoring next to me in bed currently

they celebrate even more on christmas eve than christmas day so yesterday we had a huge feast and opened presents. i got a life supply of after eights

it was exciting to do the gift opening the way they do it, in the evening of christmas eve and one by one present, although i can't remember many of my presents now!

his grandparents are quite old and his grandma is getting very forgetful and senile, and she doesn't seem to understand the concept of me not speaking german fluently so she keeps talking to me as if i understand her she also keeps touching my hair and saying it's nice which annoys me but oh well!

going to get up in 15 and get ready to head out for a christmas brunch, which is another christmas tradition of theirs. and before that a christmassy covid test because a covid pass is not enough here for a restaurant

have a beautiful day everyone! here's a snowy pic from me:

Didn’t expect one but still a little sad I didn’t get an engagement ring Grateful for the presents I did get but I see everyone else on social media getting engaged and it’s still not me

I’d hate a Christmas proposal anyway! I’d prefer a random day personally. Everybody gets engaged on Christmas

Don’t buy for your husbands family next year. That takes the p.

Is it just me or does anyone else find Tattle decorating our profiles with ice disappointing? I was hoping for more. We had the Jewish holiday recently and we all got the Star of David but.for Christmas ice?

I am LOVING the comments on this thread and seeing what everyone is doing but….

this is quite possibly in the top ten “WTF” comments I’ve read all year.

I have nothing to do with the site decorations btw, you haven’t hurt me by disrespecting my personal ice collection, but I do worry you’ve been inhaling cleaning fluids all day or you’re really stressed because you can’t honestly be complaining about this they really are telling the truth when they say some people are never happy
Elsa is fucking pissed….

I’m watching home alone waiting for my fish and chips to arrive. Giving it a couple of hours to make sure my 5 year old is really asleep and then putting presents under the tree / leaving Father Christmas footprints / fighting with my fella over who’s taking a bite out the carrot. It was me last year so by rights he should this year

 

[Pesky Tarian]

I have become obsessed with saving gift bags like my mother - folding, smoothing. Extra points if its a Christmas gift bag that can pass as a birthday gift bag

 

[coconochanel]

Id never take my tree down boxing day that's way too early.

@BigMavis @strawb aw thanks lads. I get my nails done cause I have huge hands for a girl.. 5'11.4 to be exact so helps make them a bit feminine?? Lol. Other side is a *boy* gingerbread with a bow on his neck lol

@strawb I love gingerbread men. Have 3 ornaments on my mini tree

Nollaig Shona to you all

I went for a swim this morning and then gave all my furry family their gifts. Mainly treat foods but some toys for the cats and a football for the alpacas … they love footballs but they usually only last about a week before some eejit either stands on it or lays on it and leaves it flat

I’ve just opened a can of M&S pornstar martini and lit the snug fire. My life is so rock n’ roll . I’ve made it through the obligatory monthly phone call to the ‘mother’ without feeling the need to eat my own body weight in chocolate so today is definitely a win.

I have felt the odd little pang of loneliness but nothing more than a fleeting moment. I’m taking on my nephews at Beat Sabre on the Occulus later so that will be fun …the joys of modern technology that let you beat 11 year olds at computer games while in completely different countries.

Where are ya in ireland ?? Omg weather in dublin today was shite !!! No feicin swim for me anyway fair play !

same! Have told my partner he’s to stay away from occasions like Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries etc!

 

[cushtybert]

Worst vegetable ever. Fact.

I grow my own and hand them out with the presents, no fucker escapes sprouts near me

 

[Blue pumpkin]

I'm upstairs watching a film on my tablet and eating Lindt chocolate orange balls
Husband's friend has had an argument with his other half so he's dropped by ours steaming pissed after spending the last two hours down the pub.

Selfish I know, but I hope he goes soon so we can get our day back.

 

[StrawberryCream]

Just had the first argument of Christmas, husband pissed off because I took all the maltesers out of the celebrations tubs and ate them, they are the only ones I like

Been bored with today since about 4pm. TV is crap and I'd rather go sleep

I can’t believe how shit tv is,
Mrs Doubtfire,
The devil wears Prada for the 52nd time this year,
Mary poppins returns which is shit.

kay burley started the day talking about unwanted OAP donkeys being thrown off cliffs and I thought things couldn’t have got worse….
I was wrong.

 

[lockdown sux]

I’ve unblocked the toilet. My kids seem to throw toilet rolls down for no reason
Sad to say it but it’s very rewarding to use a wire hanger and see the toilet water lever go back to normal!!
I felt like Beat Grylls !!

It’s only half 6 and I’m already ready for bed. I feel sick, I went down to my mams apartment to give her and her bf their gifts. Now I am in my dads house since around 2, I have seen my little nieces and nephews and gave them their presents, also gave my dad and siblings theirs too. I just am waiting for dinner, probably gonna spend another hour or two after it and then prob have a drink and watch a film at home.

My dog is delighted though, my dad and my siblings all bought him presents because I have no kids so technically he’s my child

Hope u all have a great night x

Anyone else realise how misogynistic Christmas is? At my parents and all the women are cleaning / cooking whilst the men just sit around on their backside.
