By not drinking this Chrimbo not sure what I am going to miss but I know I am going to gain:
1. no hangover on waking Chrimbo morning and in no humour to open pressies or take the dogs out after
2. followed by no sick stomach and inability to eat my dinner
3. no opening a bottle of wine before midday when prep-ing dinner to take the edge off
4. no opening a second bottle of red when serving dinner cause the first one has a large hole in it
5. no opening a bottle of white for dw, when she only drinks 1 or 2 at most all day and I know I will polish it off
6. no more talking to my family abroad on the phone half cut and not remembering the next day exactly what was spoken of
7. no passing out in front of the tv at 4pm snoring and farting
7. no waking in time to be fed more food on a tray in front of the tv which I dont really want but at least its an excuse to pour more drink
8. no talking loud through the evening film that my family are trying to enjoy or repeating myself constantly
9. no more staying up finishing the bottles and watching any old crap on the tv alone because my family have quite rightly decided that at 2 am it is way past bed time
10. no more waking the next day and starting the cycle again, and thinking 'WELL IT IS CHRISTMAS EVERYONE GETS PISSED DONT THEY'???

Molly, have to admit had the flash of the same line of thought myself this afternoon. Couple of things not going my way and just feeling like saying wtf. I've just put Oneys reply to you on a sticky note on my laptop - for future thoughts.

Much more important things in life, and sod them, if they haven't got THE pressie with a brass band on top, I reckon a sober mammy is much more important (me I'm talkin bout Panno -- not you) Anyway, Jilly has all her pressies under the tree already and I reckon if I contributed nothing she's enuff for all of Ireland:H

Exactly! it's all about priorities.

Hiya Tabbers and Onester.

Gyco always you called you Onester, didn't he, Oney? I wonder how he is?

And thanks for the compliment, Tabbers. I was quite surprised at the quality of the pictures - all taken with my phone.

Another BRILLIANT post Tabs. and soo true! I do remember the absolute revulsion I used to feel taking the skin off the ham on crimbo morning - sick
I may be a bit of a broken record on this one, but what happened for me this morning I feel is what this site is all about. Feeling wank and sad and yep self -pitying and being able to express how I felt and having the kindest and most insightful people talking me through it --- wow, very very special folks:h
Just remembered why I wanted to go to the shops tho --- they're getting in 'Daddy' Santa jumpers in Penneys and reaaallly wanted one for hubs ah feck it, they'll maybe still be there Wednesday

Tis a special place alright, nobody understands like a feckin alkie lol.

They will still be there on WED xx
