So I found out my fathers apartment went on fire last night, luckily it didnt spread but has destroyed everything he owns with smoke, think clothes, bed, walls covered.

Sister bawling because her gimp boyfriend broke up with her on the phone today.

Friend of mine spending Xmas alone in Dublin.

Merry f*cking Xmas all, wheres the hallmark card for "sorry santa burned your house down"?

So hows everyone else's xmas going so far?

My friend's house burned down on Christmas day about 10 years ago. He maintains that it was a tragedy, but it ultimately brought them closer together as a family. Nice thought really.

St Mels Cathedral in Longford burning down on Christmas day. That really sucks.

I fear the worst is yet to come for you on that front buddy....

Let's just say she may have been playing away from home in a league out of yours...

Dad got hammered last night, leaving the car in pub with Christmas veggies and potatoes in the boot.

Car is now locked in the pub car park, dad still in bed and I've to go driving around to neighbours doing the St Vincent de Paul rounds for myself.

Could be worse I know, but how embarrassing!!

Too true, its an absolute disaster for the town and county. It was one of the few things to be really proud of.

OP, you think that's bad??

I lost a fiver yesterday..

Why is this any harsher than on any other day of the year? I once dumped a girl in early December and got loads of sh*t off her firends for 'ruining her Christmas'.

Dump somebody on their birthday, harsh. Dump them at Christmas, meh.

On topic, I had the whole house fire thing before on Christmas Eve. It isn't fun.

Well it's true. If you dump someone on Christmas Day they're not not going to enjoy it half as much as they would.

Me too.. that's the spirit of christmas. Hide until it's an appropriate time to start drinking to take the edge off.

It's always appropriate time to start drinking. It is not however always appropriate to stop.

Spending Xmas day on my own waiting to go to work at 6pm, not a happy bunny.

Though it is cheering to know that the Catholic Church in Longford has mastered the art of time travel...

My Christmas was going great until about an hour ago when I realised I really am snowed in - the car slid left right and centre, so I can't get over to see my wee bro and sis and give them their Xmas presents
