One year my ex said I could take the boys for Christmas day if I wanted but I can’t cook a roast in my shitty oven so I looked into going out to the pub instead.

£95 each so I decided against it pretty quickly!

It’s just an attempt to shoehorn six-seven into the conversation

On another note entirely, this looks like one of those memes that’s a still clip from a porn film with an amusing unrelated caption

It is definitely harder than you might think

It’s not working, I can’t see my face in it

It was the first one that I’ve done and not wanted to throw it out of the window 😆

Every time I’ve worked with a customer wanting to do digital pricing labels, the end goal is what we would now call surge or adaptive pricing

No daily puzzle gets more "what the fuck"s from me than this one!

If they collect them all, is there a set of commemorative glasses they can send off for?

Liberals, the ultimate bogeyman of all other political leanings

Tom Cardy, why am I anxious:

Whu-ster-sha is as close as I can write to how I pronounce it.

Probably the ones without the halberd being jabbed into them

So I’m going to preface with the fact that I don’t hate Christmas. I thought I did for a long time but forced to actually stop and consider it, that’s not an accurate statement.

However, I do object to a lot of how Christmas is portrayed and celebrated now (UK if that make a difference)

• it’s a family affair: every TV program, every billboard, every commercial on the radio is telling you that this is a family occasion, a coming together. For those of us that are divorced or otherwise alone, it’s a really fucking lonely time of year precisely because you’re effectively being told from all angles that if you’re not at the centre of a massive family celebration, you’re a sad loser

• too long: it’s one day, maybe one week if you can extend it all. For this we have to have 3 months of build up? It’s too much, builds all the stress and makes the actual day unlikely to live up to the hype

• Music: saccharine Christmas music from November onwards. I have a playlist of music that I can stand and I listen to it occasionally (I’m listening to it now). So sorry to anyone working in retail who has to listen to it on repeat

• competitive: did you have the most lights? Most people round? Fanciest meal? Tell us all about it. Please, call in to the radio because we really care

• unchanging tradition: people who have to have it exactly as it was when they were young and force everyone else to conform to that singular vision

So over the last couple of years I’ve had time and space to focus on what do I want it to be and I’ve decided that for me Christmas is about: light and warmth and love.

I don’t need anything else but pretty lights to look at, a warm house and the love of my family and friends. I now see Christmas cards as a little present, a bundle of love. I send them with a message because I’m saying that I love you with each one.

I’ve told my boys they don’t need to buy me anything, just their presence is all I need to make me happy.

I make sure to focus on seeing my friends and making sure they know that I appreciate them.

This has all helped massively. I still get the lonely feeling - tonight I’ll be by myself on Christmas Eve and that’s hard, but I can concentrate on what it means to me and that helps loads.

The only version of this song that I would listen to

I’ve been getting the same

Ohhh, no clue, looks batshit crazy to me!

A man is riding a motorcycle over the hands of a line of children who are lying down in the road with their arms outstretched.

Really interesting, thanks for finding that
