Mince pie anybody?

[MontyVeda]

We have declined Christmas this year apart from some of the food

that's what christmas/yuletide should be about... sitting around and eating/sharing food.

feck santa, feck presents, feck christianity, feck capitalsim.

Just made a batch of mince pies, much better than shop bought.

 

[I like Skol]

Just looked in the cupboard and realised I had bought 2 boxes of in-store bakery mince pies last week and the BB date is 17th Dec....

I've eaten 3 of 4 from the first box one after another and just sat down for a little break before continuing. I won't let good mince pies go to waste. Hero is the word you are all thinking?

Loath Christmas, loath every thing about it. Resent how it seems to dominate the shops and restaurants from September, dislike the expectations of shopping and I hate turkey.

I hate how the closer you get to the day the more presumption of harmony and good will is expected that most people do not have, including me.

Christmas commercials, Christmas decorations in shops are all there for the sole purpose of extorting as much money out of people as possible.

I do love mince pies though. Yummy.

When I was a child Mum would take me to Chippenham to see the shop decorations. They were put up two days before Christmas and taken down the day after Boxing Day.
