Selection box is the only proper Christmas day breakfast.

I've not had a Texan bar on Christmas day since I were a lad.

hahaha
Christmas dinner was always rushed down by me and my sister when we were kids as we didn't do the pressie thing until after lunch.

All fucking morning we had to sit there wondering what Santa had got for us, but only after we'd eaten.

We learnt though, whilst we were never kids to get up at stupid o'clock in the morning with anticipation, we were usually starving by late afternoon, having tried to make lunch as short as possible.

That's a bit wrong Jeff.
Making you wait till after lunch.

We used to go to my posh grandparents and had to wait till after breakfast.

Is it any wonder I hate Christmas Blousie?
Is it?

Not only was there a selection of gift-wrapped tat waiting for me, I had to have a long lunch first.

I now see your feelings about Christmas in a different light.

And the fact that Christmas is fucking bent as well. There is that too.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 13:01, Reply)

Here you go Jeff, have a cyber selection box with season's greetings.

Shrink that pic!
Or at least crop out the white please!

Apologies, it was a bit massive.

(Cave Duck, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 13:05, Reply)

No worries chief
Thanks for fixing :)
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 13:12, Reply)

That looks quite tasty actually.

( girlinthehole, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 13:05, Reply)

That's very kind Cave.
Although a 'Galaxy mistletoe kisses' bar sounds a bit gay.

You give that to a lass that you fancy.

Heh - excellenter.

(Cave Duck, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 13:13, Reply)

You'd only throw it up anyway.
*Reminds Blousie of the vodka I bought her*
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 13:15, Reply)

I didn't throw up the vodka.
I couldn't drink it because I was ill as you well know. Then next time we meet you can get me pissed.
( girlinthehole, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 13:17, Reply)

Cloudy all the way!
Yay.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 13:18, Reply)

Same here
We were allowed our stocking presents in the morning, but had to wait until after dinner for the main tree presents. Dad always joked that we had to wait until after the Queen had shut her trap, but never enforced this rule.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 12:50, Reply)

Yep, same with the stocking presents
But they were usually started at about 5am.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 12:51, Reply)

We get to open a present on Christmas eve if we want.

( girlinthehole, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 12:52, Reply)

my ex's parents let him do that
spoilt brat!

It's a German thing.

( girlinthehole, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 12:54, Reply)

are you german?
or do you just like opening presents :)
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 12:57, Reply)

My mum is.
I think in Germany they open presents on the Christmas eve or they did when my mum was a nipper.
( girlinthehole, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 12:58, Reply)

Does that mean Monty's child gets to do it?

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 12:57, Reply)

Opening a gift on Christmas eve
The best way to annex the rest of your presents.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 12:57, Reply)

My favourite aunts and uncles have already sent me my xmas gifts
Two lots of Amazon online gift vouchers.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 12:59, Reply)

the perfect present
I wish people would realise that in the end, all I want it book tokens
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 13:01, Reply)

Agreed
This way I can get stuff I actually want.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 13:02, Reply)

i had especial trouble convincing people of this
when I worked in a bookshop. The problem with workin in a bookshop is you want to buy books more
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 13:04, Reply)

we weren't that good
we just rushed in to parents' room, ripped open presents, then were forced to watch Noel Edmunds while swapping sweets we didn't like for ones we did (I didn't like cream ones, brother didn't like nut ones). Then dad cooks dinner, we eat, we watch a film, eat more chocolate and get to warm and a bit bored.

I think we should observe a moment's silence in memory of Texan Bars.
*waits a moment*

No Galaxy selection box, Jeff?
(Cave Duck, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 12:47, Reply)

I've not had a selection box in may a year.
How many bars of chocolate do you tend to get in them these days?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 12:49, Reply)

About 5
And they cost fuckloads.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 12:50, Reply)

Actually, come to think of it, I never get one, I only buy them.

*sulks*

I think in the Galaxy one it's five plus Minstrels.
Mind you they've cut down the pack size, limiting the scope for there to be a fantastic game printed on the back.
(Cave Duck, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 12:54, Reply)

It was the gift that just kept on giving.
Chocolate and a game on the back.

(Not that, as a child, I'd have been left alone with a selection box, the contents would have been strictly rationed by mother who would decide when I was allowed to eat the chocolate)

Thank goodness -
I thought I was the only one round here with work class tendencies. Although to be fair, my family are probably best described as middle class with working class aspirations

We were never allowed ours until after we got back from the Church service
My parents were cruel.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 12:46, Reply)

Every year the same thing happened
Supposed to wait until after breakfast some over-eager child would inevitably wake up at five and wallow in depravity by ripping open all their presents
