Yep! The turkey sandwiches are in full flow and I couldn’t be happier. House is quieter too, thank goodness

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.

Just awoken from my early evening ‘nap’ and eating Xmas pud slumped on the sofa watching bbc iplayer. Been a quiet and kinda lonely Christmas this year for me so thrilled to have tattle pals to check in with.

I’ve deep cleaned the dishwasher and read two books … living the dream

I’ve still got a fridge full of M&S goodies but hardly any appetite sadly.

There’s so much chocolate in this house I’m gonna be eligible to go on that “my 600lb life” programme come New Years

I was at work yesterday, so today will be relaxing and doing a bit of housework, after walking the dogs. Just got another hour of on call to go.

Will probably watch a film later before undoubtedly being saddened by a Boris (haha a typo/my phone changed Boris to Virus) announcement.

I think it's because people 'start' Christmas wayyyy too early. Most decorations in houses near me have been up since November. Are you in continental Europe? I know someone in Finland and their tree doesn't go up until around the 21st.

I love the winter spice twix I hope they continue it .
This sounds kinda wrong yet kinda right

I gave in to the hype and bought those M&S cheese profiteroles and opened them last night……they were absolutely vile. Essentially hot molten Laughing Cow triangles in bland pastry. Chucked the second pack I’d bought into the bin and spent most of last night glued to the loo

I’m trying to sort my sons new stuff out! It’s stressing me out so I’ve gone on a break and eating a packet of mini cheddars. What day is it

Finished a workout at home. Just had a coffee. Probably eat some pigs in blankets left over from yesterday, with some scrambled eggs. Then I'll pop to boots as got a gift card I have had for about 3 months and still haven't used it.

I think it's ridiculous the new trend for putting up the tree as early as possible and now also taking it down as early as possible aswell. Just seen on Mumsnet the amount of posts saying they've taken it down on Boxing day or today. So common. Mine only went up a week before xmas and it'll stay up until new years at least

I usually banish mine on New Years day I like how clean the house looks without the christmas clutter then I can get a proper clean done .

Id never take my tree down boxing day that's way too early.
I saw a tiktok of a woman taking down her tree christmas night because their kids birthday was the next day and I thought that was odd myself. Mine will stay up to some point during the first week of January when I can be bothered to take it down

I never put my tree up before the 20th of December, so taking it down on Boxing Day would just be silly, to me. I usually take it down on the 1st of January, or between the 1st and the 5th to ensure it's down by the end of the 12 days of Christmas.

This is so extra. She can’t celebrate her daughter birthday with the trees at the background? So crazy.
