38 and I'm sleeping on a (probably) dog flea infested sofa after eating the weirdest Christmas Eve meal of basically every type of fish under the sun: overcooked salmon, anchovies in olive oil, breaded scampi, breaded prawns, mackerel pate, king prawns in chilli sauce, tuna salad (tinned tuna with rice and peas...) and some token bread and jarred artichokes. My fucken family. Are you by any chance a Chicago-based chef? I dont know what this means ;( I think my mum's cooking peaked in about 1998 and 25 years of gradual decline is really beginning to take its toll...

Happy Christmas everyone, just put the pressies downstairs and about to go to sleep for the night.
Mines 16 now, so Santa is well and truly dead to her, but we still go through the motions. I don't envy having to fake last minute reindeer hoof prints though!! 😅
On the plus side she won't be up till like 9, so I'll still get plenty of sleep.
Hope everyone gets what they want!

Feliz Navidad fellow font geeks!
Had a terrible night with the girls last night. They’ve both had a cold/flu virus for about 2 months (no exaggeration) that they can’t seem to shake and they were both up at various points in the night. I got to sleep after 1 and was awoken at 5:45 by the boy. Not happy!
Good thing is we have no company today so an afternoon snooze may be in order.
Hope everyone has a great day!

First casualty of Christmas day - the ornamental glass snow globe that was holding up daughter's stocking /o\
Now we get to play the "no-one is allowed in the sitting room where all the presents are until we clean up all the deadly shards of glass" game. Pray for me.

Merry Christmas all. May you all have a delightful and festive day.
Mine will involve eating too much, drinking too much and watching Paddington.
Also saying “Nozomi fuck off you massive weasel” a lot as the cat runs riot in the kitchen and dining area stealing everything she can get her paws on.

Christmas Day so far in the X201 household
Light gas fire Notice that gas fire has gone out Repeatedly try to get fire to stay on Dismantle gas fire and hoover everything. Fire still won’t stay lit.
Browse instruction manual while eating sausage sandwich. Spot something in the manual.
Vacuum pilot light breather hole Fire lights and stays on. Result 😁
I think the pork and apple sausages were an integral part of the process
Happy Christmas everyone 🎄

So does anyone watch the Royal Variety Performance? Because I'm watching it now and praying that one of the comedians starts roasting the royal family. That would at least be interesting, for the 30 seconds it takes for them to be escorted off the stage and shot.

Merry Christmas everyone. Though the youngest is 18, he still wants to open his presents NOW!
Both sons here for Christmas which is lovely. Spuds prepped, yorkshires in the oven. Beef coming up to room temperature. All good,so far.
Famous last words.... ✌️

6am start here
Three big Spiderman and Batman Lego sets built - one had 135 pages of instructions - and one Hot Wheels track assembled.
We’re currently on our millionth game of Connect Four and almost as many viewings of Mog’s Christmas.

I think I have the only 5 year old who doesn't want to get up for Christmas and is ready about 8.30-9am, and waits patiently for us to get dressed/have breakfast etc.
She'll make up for it later by turning into an absolute monster over something completely trivial, I'm sure.

Merry Christmas fellas, hope everyone is having a good day so far.
I've had my first opportunity to step out the kitchen since 8, even though we're short of the extra 3 people we had last year so i'm not cooking nearly half as much. No idea how any of you with kids manage it every year.
My voice was almost completely gone when I woke up this morning so i'm glad that's returned after being up for a couple of hours. Very much looking forward to having a smoke/vape for the first time in a couple of years later. Guarantee i'll pull a whitey.

Jesus Christ, sister starting going on about the cabal running the government and that she wants read Nadine's book for the truth
I'm not one to swear in front of family but I can only bite my tongue for so long before calling it a load of bollocks, and I'm pretty sure i said shit and fuck and few times too. Thankfully my nieces are 16+ now so it's not too bad, and they seemed to be sceptical at least. My siblings and my dad and their partners... Less sceptical of that nonsense.
Didn't insult my sister but fucking hell, it's hard to stomach when you realise your family are all drinking the right wing populist conspiracy rhetoric.

TBF she is right, there is a cabal running the government. It's just the same shower of shits who have been fucking over the country since 2010.

But if I could be arsed I would have countered with that. I'm so glad that my family aren't deep down that hole even though I do have to counter the shit that my mum comes out with after reading the mail online.

I don't think they're that deep down the hole at all, but it sometimes feels like they're circling around the drain, and it's frustrating that's it's impossible for me to push back in a meaningful way, it feels like fighting entropy.
But your counter would be good - unfortunately I'm too shit at making counterpoints to think of that in the moment.

My dad is basically Jeremy Corbyn without the attitude to a certain chosen people, so I’m expecting similar from the opposite direction tomorrow. Or we’ll sit around opening presents with Al Jazeera on in the background.
On today, I think the volume I’ve shovelled in to digest this afternoon means any Christmas lovemaking is off the table tonight. I feel like I’m full enough that if I opened my mouth you’d see it.
