Molly Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Never thought I'd hear anyone say that. Are you joking?
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 That always puzzled - my ex and her family would do the same thing - what the hell do you guys even have Boxing day for if you're gonna do all the Christmas stuff before it's actually Christmas! No, we don't have a day for celebrating two guys with gloves punching each other in a square called a ring. Because that would just be stupid.
EEVILMURRAY Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 And as today is the 1st December, i officially allow the playings of Christmas music (this is when i allow myself to listen to it). As Flink said in an earlier post, it's the only time when i also allow repeats of "Band Aid" and officially get away with it. I've had Christmas songs on for awhile. Plus multiple playage of all Band Aids. All year.
ReZourceman Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Are you joking? I'm playing off the "everyone hates the town over from them" theme. But yeah....I spose Aylesbury isn't all that. Why do you...like Wendover?

Have you seeeeeeen the lights on the clock tower at Christmas?! :p It's just a quaint little town, I like it. I also hate chav-filled Aylesbury, heh.

tapedeck Posted December 1, 2009 Author Posted December 1, 2009 My town made national news last year...for that awesome tree. Typical of my town tbh. (Link) The video on the Beeb site is awesome.
Goafer Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Posted by the delightfully named "sweetappletits" He sounds nice.
Raining_again Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 The only day that you can drink alcamahol at 8am, and you aren't called an alcoholic :P

EEVILMURRAY Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Toy R Us adverts! They've spruced it up a bit. I have to say it's lessened the amazing effect
Ashley Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Toy R Us adverts! Although as an adult "There's millions of Geoffreys all under one roof" sounds kinda homoerotic.
Retro_Link Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Although as an adult "There's millions of Geoffreys all under one roof" sounds kinda homoerotic.It's "There's millions says Geoffrey, all under one roof" Millions of Toys!
EEVILMURRAY Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 The mounds of young boys doing his bidding doesn't help matters.
Shorty Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 God Toys R Us was amazing. Back before you could buy things on the internet instead, I remember trying to get Power Rangers from there during the Christmas rush. The aisles were full but the shelves were empty. Stupid parents were buying "Power Team" and "Super Rangers" knockoffs instead, seemingly with the aim of making their children cry on Christmas morning.
Oxigen_Waste Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 You know, in Denmark, Christmas Eve is the climax of Christmas. We have an amazing dinner, dance around the tree while singing Christmas songs, and open our presents. Christmas Day is just some sort of recovery day after the festivities, much like New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. It's the same thing over here.
Eenuh Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 It's the same thing over here. Same, except we don't dance and sing around the tree. That just seems like something straight out of a cartoon. =P
Coolness Bears Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 When I get home I'm going to dance round my christmas tree. Well not so much round it more I'm going to wobble into my christmas tree and end up entangled in the lights
Paj! Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Getting my sister's dog tomorrow. Or rather, my sister is getting a dog, so Xmas tree operations won't go into action for a good week or so. *cries* I told my family christmas would be ruined if we didn't get a real tree, so we are. It's the only thing I care about at christmas time. Fair enough having a fake one if it's not feasible to have a real one, but real ones are so solid gold.

They just think it's the "same toy" Ah naive 90s parents
Tellyn Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Although as an adult "There's millions of Geoffreys all under one roof" sounds kinda homoerotic. I'm glad I'm not the only one who heard it as "millions of Geoffreys".
tapedeck Posted December 3, 2009 Author Posted December 3, 2009 You're from Peterlee?!? My first ever girlfriend was from Peterlee! How exciting!I'm grew up in the dump that is Billingham. Nice! Billingham is literally half an hour from me. I've only ever been to the ice rink way back in the 80's.
