Good Olde British Christmas traditions ..... soon to be gone

I'd easily bin most of the above with the exception of The Queen's Message, charades and presents. I'd include a walk in the park, and washing and drying up.

After dinner....

i loved a stroll on the old long walk
on the salthill prom with a galway girl

the christmas after dinner walk was baltic and  once a tradition
dodgy christmas jumpers
kids on their new bikes

...and a snowball fight .....hhhhmmmm global warming ?

I think that anyone who is expecting the Queen's Christmas message this year will be disappointed.

What makes you say that?

Mainstreamers like Gabby Logan wishing viewers a 'happy festive season'
on the BBC, apparently. They refuse to learn, don't they.

F I L T H 

It's not a 'festive season', it has a specific name, Christmas.
Why are people being instructed not to say Christ?
Many Muslims mention Allah at the end of almost every
sentence they utter, no one is offended by it.

The bible contains parts that makes Christians protest against the use of Christ.

As an atheist that just gets mad about culture war nonsense for performative reasons you might be unaware of Christians being the primary instuctors of not uttering Christ though.

So the BBC are bowing to the sensitivities of hardcore Christian types?
Give me a break, we all know who they are bowing to.

I didn't write that.

Why are you so negative about select people, at BBC or elsewhere, bowing to some sort of sensitivity instead of them simply wishing to use a term that includes everyone and everyone's upcoming days and makes everyone apart from some performatively grumpy people perfectly happy? Don't be such a saddo all the time. Be a happyo!

There is no shortage of mentions of christmas from the BBC overall either way. Proper christmas in all its glory too. Not that garbage xmas thing you anglophones like to use.

According to

https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/festive-season

the term festive season has been around quite a while as well and according to the trend shown on there, in 1873 it was even more popular than it is now. Isn't that most interesting, happyo?

Marksman. 09.09.  It is a wonder you didn’t get a “are you feeling alright”.   

Wow, today at 6:20 PM BBC One is showing "Blankety Blank" and they are officially calling it a "Christmas Special" on their programme guide.

On BBC Two right now it is "Chris and Michaela: Under the Christmas Sky".

No point in telling them whats on the telly when they won't pay their license.
The Daily Mail said a British family brought their dead granny on the plane in Spain so she could get back free and almost half won't give a cup of tea to a tradesman in their house,they have gone strange and i think they are bate into fools from voting for Brexit,Boris and immigration.

Maybe Irishone was planning a seance? Think it is Prince King Charles now?

I bet he isn’t alone.  Still tough to forget her.  Old Charlie making a decent go of it though.

The host of the BBC's Blankety Blank Christmas Special repeatedly and explicitly wished people a merry christmas, happyo!

The two programme trailers following the Blankety Blank Christmas Special explicitly mentioned "Christmas" as well, happyo.

Maybe you should watch more actual BBC instead of letting manipulative social media figures groom you into a miserable anti-christmas spirit where you believe T-H-E-Y are conspiring to be anti-christmasy.

The Queens Christmas Message

sadly missed

I would rather have steel nails driven throught my Sack as to listening to Chazzer

Pm Stormer and King Chazzer sum up the desperate state the uk has ended up in

What's so wrong with King Charles III. that you'd prefer excruciating pain over simply listening to him for a new minutes?

....Or do you get all.........from the thought of nails on your.....?

Morecombe and Wise

Only fools and harses

Laurel and Hardy still going , starmer and Chaz

Colonial Santa.

I would rather have steel nails driven throught my Sack as to listening to Chazzer

Why don't you treat yourself this Christmas? checkatrade.com have a section for bespoke carpentry, you'll likely find someone with a hammer and some nails on there I'm sure.

Not very christmassy.

Where the **** does Escapee live???

How quaint that he thinks a person might have to use checkatrade to source a person that will hammer nails through a part of their body.

What would be your preferred way to source a person for such a service? Asking for Ronald.

Who would Ronald want it for?

Think it is going to be for himself.

I am very disappointed. I thought we were comrades in arms fighting misinformation for the honest punters. Lefties are bonkers.

Who does Ronald want it for instead according to your best knowledge then?

I don't want it for anyone. I said it's not very Cristmassy. Are you feeling alright?

Who said anything about you?

I wonder if Ronald is feeling alright.

I do too. Everyone who considers having nails driven through their private parts is probably in a bit of a personal crisis.

Is that what he told you?

No, he didn't explicitly tell me about his personal crisis. It was more of a silent, hidden cry for help.

What made you think he considered having nails driven through his private parts?

16:56

He told me, d'uh!

True, saddo....kind of actually true....

It was much better when it was the queen's speech. I can't stand the new fella.

What was the timestamp when he told you?

Defender of the Faiths these days, they'll bend
until one of those faiths removes them.

There is no timestamp.

How is that possible?

You might not know this, and it surprised me at first too when I discovered it, but not every form of communication comes with a timestamp attached to it.

What form of communication was it?

Did you watch some BBC christmas programmes today, happyo?

Like the Christmas movie "Nativity" featuring Martin Freeman or the very British Christmas icons Wallace & Gromit?
