    Only Christmas tradition I have is watching the Fr Ted Christmas special on Christmas Eve before I go to bed. Still funny after all the years :D

    So, drink driving & theft....

    You should expand your tradition by assaulting a pensioner or something!

    Ah come on that would not be in the Christmas spirit, whats wrong with a couple of scoops and a drive out to the woods to get a tree ? Nobody gets hurt ?

    Probably hits a few pedestrians on the way back from nicking the tree as well! :mad: Fuck it, it's tradition sure! Not to worry, internet police on their way to his home as we speak.

    Nothing strange about out Christmas

    We decorate a dead plant in the sitting room. Eat as much meat as we can. Then go to a ceremony where we eat the body, and drink the blood, of our chosen one all the while chanting in unison.

    At night we go to bed ensuring to leave food out for a stranger who breaks into the house, eats the food and leaves gifts behind.

    All of this while spending every penny we have saved in order to over indulge so that this Christmas reflects our ideal traditional Christmas's where we would have little to share but share it anyway.


    Can't feckin wait!

    Only tradition thats enforced in my family is the turkey, ham and stuffing sambo in the evening.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,970 ✭✭✭6541


    Another one we have is we all head down to a mates house in the evening of the big day and get loaded and maybe take a few yokes and the like.

    We wait for my dad to fall into a food coma and decorate him.

    He's the worlds heaviest sleeper and we can do a full job of fairy lights, tinsel, makeup, and hats, followed with flash photography and he doesn't even stir. :)

    We've a great collection of Xmas Dad photos at this stage. Every year he tries to last the day without falling asleep in the chair but we just keep feeding him until he gives in. :)

    Queuing for ages on Stephen's Night because every pub in town is wedged and you'd be an awful fuddy duddy if you didn't go out.

    It's also a night you tend to bump into **** from the past and have to suppress the urge to chin them over the bar counter.

    Between the tree theft, drink driving, and yoke usage you're on a very slippery slope son.

    We prefer to mainline skag into our eyeballs before attending choiral service at 10:30 on Xmas eve.

    As Christ intended.

    I love to take a big dump after the dinner. 3 stone lighter


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,750 ✭✭✭fleet_admiral


    We have been getting a big indian takeaway on Xmas eve the last 4 years so we will be doing the same this year


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 183 ✭✭Sonderkommando


    I always watch home alone one and two christmas eve.

    Apart from that nothing special, just overindulge on food and alcohol like most others.

    I'll join in with the OP's rock solid, not made up claims.

    I generally wait about outside of mass dressed up as Ebeneezer Scrooge, I rob the aul ones and spend the money on smack for the chislers. Once they're all wasted I eat all the snickers out of their christmas stockings and replace them with milky ways.

    Ho ho ho.

    Little runts, sometimes I empty empty out all the decent quality street / roses and leave them with only the coffee flavour too.

    They're all pretty wiped on the smack so it's usually new year before they cop on.

    Between that and the intravenous drugs for the kids, you'd love xmas round mine.
