Jesus died so's you could have this. 

[bgmnts]

I hope Santa brings me a fleshlite for christmas!

Christmas, the year's weekend. Yes! You think, it's Christmas! The year is done, time to relax!!

Little do you realize there's another WHOLE NEW YEAR JUST ABOUT TO START AND YOU HAVE TO DO THE WHOLE THING AGAIN AND THIS CYCLE NEVER EVER ENDS UNTIL YOU DO.

[Buelligan]

Actually, it won't end then.  It doesn't care that you will, it just carries right on, oblivious.  That's exactly how cosy it is.

Because I am a tool I didn't book any time off.  So this year it's like an extra weekend plonked into the middle of a working week. 

We did the booze shop yesterday for all the essentials, Christmas Eve snowballs and Christmas morning Bloody Marys.  Christmas is great.

Christmas is great.

Fuck yeah!! Christmas is the tits. And anyone who says different is just mad. I mean a whole week off, what's better than that?

[the]

Two whole weeks off?

[Lisa Jesusandmarychain]

Yeah, time off in the middle of fucking winter. What could be better ??

[the]

Time off in the middle of fucking summer?

Who gets a whole week off?  I don't even get the day off because it's my normal day off and I get to work New Year's Day (which is also my normal day off) for no extra pay.  That, my friend, is the joy of the season. 

And I don't get time off in the summer either because that's when we're busy.  Comprende?

[checkoutgirl]

Two whole weeks off?

Nah, two weeks is too much. After the first week you stop enjoying the novelty of not being in work so much so the second week is essentially wasted. That is scientific fact by the way, backed up by statistics and such.

Shoulda got a better job mate. Not my problem.

[Buelligan]

Hah.  That's what you think.  Think on it next time you're sitting there in some foreign eatery, waiting for your dinner to be cooked and see what happens to your account.

[checkoutgirl]

Actually on reflection, that wasn't very Christmassy. I am very sorry.

[Buelligan]

Heheh.  Don't be sorry, there's no need to be Christmassy here!

This strange small boy threating to punch Santa's beard off should cheer everyone up https://twitter.com/Sumvyah0/status/1074055911025590273?s=19

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Soon to be kidnapping people in shopping centres and murdering them

But enough about Santa

[Shit Good Nose]

Kirk Cameron's dreadful Saving Christmas features good ol' St Nick beating the shit out of someone with a staff if that helps lift your christmas spirit.

The monologue about torture and murdering babies might bring it back down again is the only problem...

[Cuellar]

Saw your post in Deeper Into Movies about that - watched the trailer, looks fascinating and incoherent. Very tempted to watch it even though it also looks utter tosh.

[Shit Good Nose]

It's just REALLY dull and boring.  Imagine watching Manos without the MST treatment (as I have) and you're in that kind of territory.

[Cuellar]

Yeah will probably give it a miss based on that.

I did love the premise that his mate 'Christian'(GET IT???) doesn't like Christmas anymore so goes off and just...sits outside in his car while everyone else is having fun in the house. Excellent Partridge moment.

[Shit Good Nose]

It appears to have been all filmed in one night.
