This whole Christmas thing..

[Jairzinho]

'What a difference a day makes'...

 

Glorious sunshine here but a little cold, walked the dog for 2 hours this morning and people were smiling, you know, because they were actually enjoying today instead of the pressurised bullshit of yesterday. People have today off too (well I don't), they eat good food, drink lots, see family and friends the same as yesterday and yet today is so much better, more relaxed and enjoyable.

 

You also have a load of sport today too.

 

Boxing Day > Christmas Day.

 

Absolutely beautiful outside here as well.

Missed a cracking morning here. And now its already getting dark. Roll on the end of the month

This morning we put on thick jumpers, scarves, gloves and hats and went ice skating hand-in-handnext to a castle, thus completing her list of things to do that make our Christmas look like it came straight off a Christmas Card. I should now have warned enough brownie points to get completely hammered watching the match.

I reckon you've earned a few 'extras' on top of that mate.

[PestiRed]

Nah mate, allowing those to become a treat or conditional is the start of a slippery slope. Besides I plan to get properly and totally incoherently shitfaced tonight as my reward

[Champ]

Maybe this belongs in the Small Pleasures thread....but after a spin on my bike I feel hungry for the first time in days. And it feels good

[littletedwest]

worst one I can remember had get our dog put down on Friday. She was 16 started refuse food on xmas eve hoped it was a bug sadly not. Spent Christmas day worrying about her.

 

My nephew cheered me up very happy with his furby.

sorry to hear that mate 

[littletedwest]

Cheers mate . Had to happen sometime but Christmas isn't the best time.

 

We have another dog who is being spoiled at minute.

[Lee909]

Feel for you.

My Mum has said she will probably have to get hers put down in the next month or two.His quality of life is getting worse with his eyes and limp.

He was 16 last August and been around only a few years less than my brothers.Pretty devastated

[littletedwest]

Vet was brilliant didn't know what to expect but she passed quickly and peacefully.

 

Decision was for the best.

[Anubis]

Sorry to hear that. A small mercy that she passed peacefully.

[PestiRed]

Sorry to hear that, glad it was peaceful.

[VladimirIlyich]

Always sad when a family pet goes as they become a part of the family.

My sister has a dog thats on his last legs but they dont seem to want to put him down despite his poor quality of life.

So much for all this perfect Christmas malarkey. The weekend before Mr Champ came down with the lurgy. And now just as he is on the mend my haad hurts, my nose is stuffed and my tongue and lips feel like cotton wool

[Champ]

Its safe to come out, Christmas is over. The Easter eggs are in the shops. Only 4months to go

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Took the tree down. House looks shit again.

Our tree looks shot (it might have helped if we'd watered it!) but tradition says it will have to stay there sulking in the corner until the 6th

[Alan Sex]

Tree down on the first.

 

Stores are replacing Xmas stuff with valentines stuff.

 

Yawn.

Yawn.

No messing about at yours there, Al!

The reaction I got when I suggested to No2 at teatime that the tree was perhaps past its best confirmed that there will be no break with tradition this time round. Again
