Have you pulled crackers and put your paper hat on yet?

[Danger Man]

is he still doing the Christmas every day thing?

No. Because he never did in the first place.

[steve98]

O dear, I sense a clash comin'

[Danger Man]

We are long overdue another flounce thread.

[steve98]

Can't we all just get along? Can't we all (at least in this thread, if no other) be like Mr Christmas, for a day? That would be my one wish for the group this Christmas: I wish we all could be Mr Christmas every day.

Not updated his blog in 2 years ... hope he's alright.

It looks like a homemade 90s site, maybe hes discovered facebook or Instagram or Tik tok or something. Or maybe he's topped himself.

[pancreas]

Pics of food pls

[wooders1978]

is he still doing the Christmas every day thing? maybe you could pop round, check how he is getting on, open the curtains, put out the bins, that sort of thing.

I've only just learnt that he lives so nearby today - his "blog" ended in 2018 by the look of it and as it appears he was tucking into a whole roast chicken everyday, it simply can't have been sustainable, I'm fucking finding out though!

[wooders1978]

Uh ohhhhh....

wooders, you should go over to his house and introduce yourself as our representative. Might be an idea to take a present.

[wooders1978]

Shortly after the blog was "wrapped up" it should be noted

He's on OnlyFans now.  If you pay the upper tier price then its nude Mr Xmas pics and vids.

I had a Christmas dinner last month, always a good idea to practice the stuffing before the Big J's Big Day.

And get my phone nicked?

Maybe...

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

Well, if you give him a phone as the present, he probably won't nick yours.

[wooders1978]

My mate lives in Melksham - I need to get his intel (and skirt around the fact we never went for that pint he suggested a month or two back)

[Ferris]

Just remembered it's thanksgiving and we've been asked round the in laws for turkey and stuffing in 2 hours so now I feel a right idiot for mocking everyone. I too will have essentially xmas dinner today.

[BlodwynPig]

No. Because he never did in the first place.

But I saw Lorraine Kelly talking about this in the early 00s!

My partner has just told me that Mumsnet has a whole subforum of people who are obsessed with Christmas, and discuss it all year round.

She's read some quotes from some threads, or of which started along the lines of "is it ok to decorate my living room in a different colour theme to my kitchen?" and another with "it is just going to be me and my partner for Christmas this year, what should we do? We have breakfast in bed most days so that isn't a treat, and I don't particularly want to do a full sit down breakfast either as that seems to extravagant. What are some ideas for nice things we can do?"

Excuse me, Mumsnet. What are some things which mean and women in general like? Specifically, what do my husband and I enjoy doing together?

[BlodwynPig]

Uh ohhhhh....

Blog ends in 2018. Court appearance around the same time. Case solved.

...edit, as you pointed out

[Danger Man]

Uh ohhhhh....

He's been stealing a woman's phone every day for the last two years.

But have they got a thread for documenting their festive shits?

Dread to think of the state of this lad's colon, tbf.

hahaha!

Everyday is Christmas when you're got a new Iphone

26th is the "Big reveal", book early to a-void disappointment. This year Mr. Christmas will be doing his big Boxing Day (read: Christmas Day) reveal via zoom...in these uncertain times.

[thenoise]

A question i've always been too afraid to ask but what actually is the main difference between Christmas dinner and a bog standard roast? Is it quantity? Stuffing?

Sprouts not cabbage
Cranberry sauce
Christmas pudding afterwards
All washed down with wildly inappropriate champagne substitute sparkly plonk or Bucks Fizz, not an actually tasty beer.

Pigs in blankets too. Never get eaten at any other time of year.

An essential part of every Sunday roast for some of us.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

Ooh, get you with your year round pigs in blankets.

[DrGreggles]

Too fucking right! Love those little double-pork bastards.
