Christmas Quirks...

[The Hitman]

Just wondering if you or your family possess any Christmas quirks, or is there a regular thing that happens which you would consider, er, abnormal.

Every Christmas morning, my grandma gets the sh*ts, and refuses to come to Chrissie lunch, before I get on the phone, soften her up, and she ends up coming, two hours late, and has a great time. Every bloody year!

This Christmas, I got my friend a Sanity voucher, and it owuld look pretty shabby if I just wrapped it up as is, so I wrapped it in all these catalogues, after putting a note on the voucher, then put a note on the top catalogue, and then wrapped it up with the wrapping paper, so it looks like a half decent pressie.

When she opens the wrapping paper, she'll see a note on a Bunnings catalogue, which is wrapped up, saying...

"I looked through all these damn catalogues to find your Christmas pressie, so if you want it, you have to go through them too. Unwrap the catalogues to get to your pressie, and go through what I went through..."

Then she gets to the voucher, which has a note covering it. The note says...

"...but in the end, I couldn't find anything in the catalogues, and seeming I am a lazy bastard, I got you..."

Then on the voucher I wrote...

"A God damn Sanity Voucher!"



Also, I got a Robbie Williams album for this girl, and instead of simply wrapping it up as is, I cut out paper, and wrapped the paper over the top of the CD, and on the paper I wrote "Pearl Jam's Greatest Hits", so she has to undo the paper before she can see what album it is.

Yup, I make people earn their pressies!

I don't blame her, stop feeding her laxettes Christmas Eve.

Any guy who buys a Robbie cd for a chick is alright in my book!

Can you buy me one too? I don't mind how you wrap it.

My family has Christmas quirk.

We don't even have Christmas Dinner on Christmas as we have it on Boxing day.

We are down at our Beach house every christmas and wait unto the cousins come over as they celebrate with their cousins (our 2nd cousins) on Christmas Day.

Boxing Day is good because we all gather around the Television and watch the boats set off in the Sydney to Hobart race. We take extra notice of this as my brother competes in it each year.

Watch out for the favorite Wild Thing to win this year (the boat he is on).

My grandparents come around every Christmas morning to unwrap the presents and spend it together. This happens around 8:30.

But, for the last 2 years I have slept through it, well I come out for a sec, to say hello, than go back to sleep much to the strong opposition from my parents!

I wake up about 10, open them by myself!

I have to go through two full on Christmas meals. The first one is with my grandparents. As all good grandparents of Mediterranean/Eastern European extraction do, I am met with calls of "You must eat more" or "You too skinnny-eat more". After nearly exploding, I loosen my belt and drive home only to do the same thing again with my partner's parents. They come around to our house and cook a turkey (for four people!) where the same mantra is repeated: "Eat some more" "There's more Turkey", "Give some more meat to Jim" etc. By the time, night-time rolls around, I am a good 5kg heavier and have all sorts of disturbed nightmares.
