Grumpy Old Women At Christmas

[@heatherjones6647]

I adored this when it first aired and play it as a Christmas rite every year.

Christmas is as hard or easy as you want to make it!!! Christmas to me is church, cosy Christmas films, wondetful TV, chillin and a budget of £5 per person, I'd rather give to charity....adopt a donkey, and people give my budget to Charity, I love the old fashioned Christmas 😊❤

[@christinepage181]

I don't have any cookbooks by Delia or Nigella, I don't make my own mince pies, or Christmas cake or sausage rolls. The only decorations are on the Christmas tree which goes up about 3 days before Christmas. I don't care what a lack of Christmas cards says about me, although I do like to make sure Christmas dinner is good and the table is laid nicely. I don't go completely go nuts like I used to.

[@pamelatorres156]

I do enjoy Nigella Lawson's Christmas specials and I made some of her desserts, like her Nutella cheesecake, triple chocolate brownies and her spruced up vanilla cake (using a Bundt pan). 😋 I've also made on multiple occasions her mousse which uses mini marshmallows instead of eggs.

[@nettiesanders676]

I remember my mum giving me a toilet brush holder shaped as a lady in crinalin dress , shocked 😮 but now she has passed away I cherish it and those memories 😊

[@alyzu4755]

Kneel

It's better celebrated in Germany, Italy, or Sweden. Christmas feels a bit more magical in places like these.

[@charlesjackson7904]

[@pamelalapierre6678]

I have never seen this but what stands out to me is that as funny as these women are , ALL that they say is SAD BUT TRUE !!! I bowed out of ALL THAT IS XMAS 20+ years ago . I don't buy presents for ANYONE and I don't expect any from anyone . I don't stress , I don't care -- my blood pressure is high enough without all that commercial , pretentious BS .

[@emmajanewatts4388]

Since the beginning of December I have been seriously ill in hospital with sepsis and pneumonia. All the way through it I’m worried because I’m getting behind with Christmas, I even rang my hubby in tears because I was so ill banging on about I haven’t booked the turkey or a tree and it’s going to be a disaster. I’m home and doing a lot better now and everything is all in hand. It just goes to show how true this programme is 😊

[@joannelarose8198]

Good luck! I will not do it anymore because I have been doing it all for years!

[@emmajanewatts4388]

@ same here but I really enjoy it, my eldest has his birthday tomorrow too so that’s when Christmas starts in our house.

[@pheart2381]

It's got nothing to do with Christanity, more like Mammon worship. I really think it's OTT and makes so many people unhappy !

I love anything I receive but I've never received used soap so ... And my mom was always a good gift giver and receiver but we did help her get the gifts when we were adults, especially my oldest brother and myself. The three of us did most of the wrapping too.

The problem with modern day Christmas is that modern day Christmas has nothing to do with Christmas.

[@telstar32]

You have to control Christmas, rather than allow Christmas to control you! My Xmas tree goes up the week of Xmas, not a day before. I limit my gift buying to parents and siblings, and we all set a limit of £10 each, so just a gesture of a gift really. We get together for Xmas lunch on Xmas day, and that’s it. End of.

[@jacquigriffin5973]

Sounds like a man, or the woman who organizes everything. Who buys, brings home and decorates the tree, hosts the event, cooks the Christmas lunch, buys the gifts and cleans up.

[@ruthsmith1694]

Traditions are very out dated. I loved the magical Xmas times when a young and innocent girl sharing fun and happy times with my big family back in the fifties/sixties. These days it just seems over commercialised and is consumerism gone mad. I can understand why so many people stress and strain and get into so much debt about it. I don`t envy the parents of today who are put under so much financial pressure which surrounds them competing with other parents/ friends and families. Providing for their kids with just the basics and essentials is not easy at the best of times. Material things are not important in life they are just stuff which clutter our lives and the older we get the more we realise it. Kindness in deeds and love is the best things we can give and offer to others and which are priceless, and should be given all year round not just once a year.

[@John-wg6bc]

You remember them fondly because you were young, healthy and carefree. Nostalgia ain't what it used to be...

I watch this every year too! I love the little Vignettes of the Lady and the family at Christmas lol! I like how they filmed the actress in real places, and even times of day like when she was seeing to the Turkey early in the Morning! 'The size of that Turkey, though!'. Sheila Hancock is so right "Why do we eat Turkey at Christmas, it's so foul; It tastes of nothing" lol. Janet Street Porter's story about going away, and her Mother insisting she take this Special gift with her to open is hilarious! Never heard of her wet flannel game, sounds funny! As is Arabella Weir's story about the Soap on a rope! Happy Christmas everyone:) xo

[@pheart2381]

I can cook a turkey properly. Unfortunately I hate Christmas so only me and the cat get to enjoy it.

[@rosemarydudley9954]

Turkeys, like chicken should be cooked "upside down", i.e. breast down so all the juices run into it and keep it moist. Not a lot of people know that.

[@AdamAdam-s8z7m]

Even when doe well... it is just bland. We have beef or lamb every year :P (we will die of strokes, bowel cancer, and heart attacks, but at least we had a good few meals).

[@AdamAdam-s8z7m]

I never went in for the craze presents... except the Tamagotchi. My parents said it was a phase... I am twenty-eight and I still put it on my "list" every year in hope.

[@Eddy2730]

Santa Claus, or St. Nicholas as he was known to begin with was originally a Greek Orthodox bishop who lived in what is now Turkey. Born in 270 AD, he was originally a Greek Orthodox bishop who was renowned for giving gifts. He also became the Patron Saint of Children, after saving three boys from being slaughtered during a famine, and also three girls from being sold as slaves. The name 'Santa Claus' as we recognise it today comes from 'Sinterklaas', the Dutch nickname for St. Nicholas.

All on my own. What I gave my child.. was so she didn't feel different from her friends who had both parents and had more than us or better houses..etc. everything I did was for her. Period. I wanted to be a good mom and dad. When she didn't have a dad or barely a family except my friends. . That is honestly my life. I lived it for her and still do as she is ill with mental health problems. Even at 27. Hard to blame a child for not having family....hard to blame myself for wanting to give her a life chance.
