no judgement? ok I really dislike Christmas & always signed up to work. I don't like anything about it, the songs, the lights, etc. wish I could skip it & I don't buy gifts, but this year our grand kids picked adult names to get them a gift, so we have 2 gifts to buy, ugh. It's not a religious thing as I'm a christian, It just seems to be all about $ and gift giving. I am glad that the world celebrates it though. I'll be glad when it's over
I am with you 100%
I feel the exact same way0 -

Oh, look, another one of us, @Beka3695 and @Italian_Buju.
Welcome @Evamutt, to our crazy truly no judgment thread. I teach a Sunday school class and I detest commercialized Christmas.1 -
Augh!!! It is not even 7am and I am mad already. Someone came in here sometime since I left at 3:30 on Friday, found a charred pot of coffee, turned off the machine and moved the carafe to a cooler burner without even attempting to rinse it out and without throwing out the old grounds.
WHY???? Why would you leave that for someone else??
I half cleaned the pot because I can't leave things like that, but if I knew at whom to yell over it, I would probably get fired before 9am.3 -

It's funny how it goes. I'm a deep-seated atheist, yet I love Christmas. Well certain aspects of it. I totally understand resenting the commercialisation of it. I don't stress over it and I don't get into debt, that's no fun. For me it's about family and silly fun and something to look forward to when the weather is so miserable.
Plus I enjoy making things (when I have time) and the kids are just getting to that age where it's magical so I'm all in this year. I went big on homemade decorations this year. Our house is a taste free zone!6 -

I would love a Spam Christmas. I kind of have that in my house, but it's impossible to grocery shop without being assaulted by the person next to you. (Really, I was shoved aside at the milk last week. Y'all, they weren't out and I was also reaching for cream from the shelf above.)0 -

I said I was not putting up a tree this year. I even offered to bake a cake and decorate it "Happy Birthday Jesus" - the family declined. My final negotiation point was that ALL DECORATIONS must be able to come down in 30 minutes or less.
This is what is in my house... a 3' tree sitting on a table. It only has bows on it - pre lit and foldable...
4 stockings that will not be stuffed, 2 lanterns filled with decorative balls, and a wooden tree that is 3 pieces - that is all. I think I can dismantle in 15 minutes!!! This will be done on Christmas night!!!!!
BTW - I drank my dinner twice last week because of Christmas. Welcome to the club!!!!

I do not decorate at all for Christmas. No tree, nothing. Sometimes I will put out an advent wreath, but that is buried this year with me packing to move.
I did do a tree and such when the kids were young, I stopped when they were about 12 and 14. But during the decade or so I did do it, everything came down boxing day, along with a deep clean. No trace of Christmas by the next day.0 -

While shopping I hate the people who treat the grocery store like they're the only one in the store. The people who feel like the store is a NASCAR race & fly out of aisles without even checking to see if someone is coming the opposite way irks me the most.
Yesterday I had a customer who sent money to someone & they lost the paper with the reference number & expected me to find out what the number was. He said he sent it Friday so I assumed he did it at our store since that would be the most logical thing & with that I could have had management go through the papers from that day. Nope he sent it from a completely different state & expected me to be able to look that up? I'm sorry I'm not a computer. I wouldn't be able to do anything since I wasn't at the original store that did the transaction.1 -

There are worse things to over indulge on than peanut butter. If that makes you feel better.0 -

Oh, look, another one of us, @Beka3695 and @Italian_Buju.
Welcome @Evamutt, to our crazy truly no judgment thread. I teach a Sunday school class and I detest commercialized Christmas.
I also despise what Christmas has become. If it weren't for my 16 year old daughter, and 10 month old grandson, I would be perfectly content skipping the whole thing and going on a cruise! A la Christmas With The Kranks!

I've never watched the movie, but I just started reading the book (John Grisham) after finishing Invisible by James Patterson.
Invisible was a pretty interesting read & who the killer was pretty shocking at least to me. I thought it was going to be this one character introduced late into the story. We have 4 more pages until 3,300!1 -

This was my first attempt at Scotch Eggs.
European folks - how do they compare?
Flavor was amazing. These were baked, not fried.2 -
@Beka3695, I am glad you posted the egg picture. I am allergic to egg yolks and completely lost all desire to eat when. I saw them.
I was on the verge of eating my stress in cocoa covered almonds. (I swear I walked out my front door and into the Twilight Zone this morning.)2 -

Not the reaction I was hoping for, but you are welcome
If this helps -- I was hoping for the yolk to be a little runnier. Next try!0 -
I have no idea what scotch eggs are, but they look like I want to try them!0
