Grumpy Old Women-Christmas pt2

[@Knappa22]

I watch this every year. Christmas tradition :)

[@Smallpotato1965]

I've watched this Grump Old Women thing each year around Christmas and each year I think, "God but I love Jenny Trent-Hughes!"

[@eastender1862]

None of us will feel alone again at Christmas...thank goodness for all this bah humbug greatness...when she says...I forgot Jesus’s dads name...bloody love it...says it all really 🥴

[@Kingofthemattock]

Agreed,and im an Aussie. I live in Dartmoor and the snow and the log fire in my cottage really make me all happy. Much more happier than spending time with a bunch of loud mouthed Aussies on a beach drinking beer!!!

[@janemills1839]

One of the great things about getting older is you detach yourself from all this rubbish. Divorced, so no worries about in-laws, sister in law, friends who don't bother with you anymore (post divorce), just my lovely Son, so he gets Cash, no tree, no cards, no crazy shopping, just a leisurely stroll round M and S, as per usual where Steak and Chips is on the menu for Christmas Lunch, a good bottle of wine, watch a film you saved for that day in peace. You've hit it, I hate Christmas xx

[@denadavey1470]

Jane Mills Good on you- I order a curry!

[@TheHollyLamb]

William and Mary.. hahahahaha. that is brilliant!!

[@elainerichardson2109]

Watching this in 2020 and it's still great.. Nov 2020

[@Tina06019]

We only decorate one room, put up one string of lights around the porch, send gifts to children & only cards to adults (outside the household), gifts inside the family only. I do the cleaning & decorating, and my husband does the cooking. He’s a better cook than I am.

[@MsFanmail]

crack up watching this

The Merry Christmas they put on the cake in this is the same one we have :P 40 years old :P

[@kellyvaters1689]

Delia and Nigella are rank amateurs at the game of perfectionistic guilt and would stand in AWE at the influence of one Martha Helen Kostyra Stewart. I'm not sure why she's not mentioned on the program, but she doesn't just nail you on food preparation. If the presents aren't wrapped consistently in the triple-creased tissue method or in a colour scheme which matches your homes' decor; if you've not made bundles of handmade gifts and ornaments or decorations to invoke an image of understated New England tastefulness and comfort; if you've not gone out to cut your own greenery and all of that jazz or recreated some obscure central European tradition, you're made to feel like a typical commercialized consumer. How's that for reverse psychology?

[@scattysafari7742]

+Kelly Vaters My guess is that Martha isn't a great influence outside the US. As an Aussie i never felt her influence very much but even my Mum had a Delia cookbook.Delia Smith was pretty much THE domestic goddess of the 1970s in the UK so it's natural they site her influence.

[@kellyvaters1689]

***** I wasn't aware that Martha's reach would be limited in that way. She had become so all-encompassing over here that if it had anything to do with home, Martha Stewart would be the first name (and often the only name) mentioned. It really wasn't until we got specialty networks like HGTV or the Food Network that her influence started to wane.

[@lizzie1897]

Kelly Vaters Amen sister you said a mouthful. Martha’s doesn’t want you to get it(how recipes of hers have you done and seen that she’s left something out). Martha trades in envy. That’s evil

[@scattysafari7742]

Jane Asher still looks fantastic.

[@sunkat76]

''William and Mary'' lol

"We're on a yacht, and you're not!"

[@MsFanmail]

people in supermarkets at christmas is so mad its like the end of the world. i would eat baked beans on toast on christmas day if i had no choice !

[@denadavey1470]

I order a curry & have the leftovers on Boxing Day. Sorted.

[@crystalheart9]

Oh so funny and the guy hacking away at the trunk of the tree in the living room!

[@MsFanmail]

I find this so funny

[@BillCompo]

All these mums should book a flight to Tahiti leaving 2 days before Christmas and returning Jan 10th . Say nothing to anyone just leave a note on the kitchen table and go.

[@vickyasoyercourtwoking5600]

BillCompo good idea

[@p.b.-letspickacardandsee8576]

BillCompo busted!

[@crystalheart9]

I love the note on the kitchen table!

[@crystalheart9]

All I could think of while eating Christmas dinner was all the dishes I was going to have to do.

[@crystalheart9]

@Charles Jackson You probably sat back and never helped with the dishes.🤣

[@LadyHarrington2k]

I've spent Christmas in Australia, it was ok, but it wasn't festive at all, it was just a hot, normal day. You should be sitting by an open fire at Christmas! The best bit is being all wrapped up going for a walk in the freezing cold after dinner, - Not burning in the sun on a beach having a barbecue! - That's not Christmas! Plus the TV is SOOOOOOO much better in the UK!! All the Christmas specials...etc. (I lived in Oz for three years and am glad to be home).

[@janemann3045]

I no longer send Christmas cards.I decorate a tree hang a wreath on the door,hang out a Christmas flag and cook a meal.Merry Christmas 2019

[@gollycom]

I put a skull and crossbones on my door and spray the area with ant pheromones to keep any vile humans away from me. 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜👸🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃😀😀😀🎆🍝🔥🐸🎄🎇👑🎁🎈🎈🌙🎃☕🎑🌕🌕🐵🐵🚽🚽☠️☠️☠️☠️💀💀💀

[@charlesjackson7904]

Mummy martyrs are writhing in brutal agony deep inside Lucifers belly

"Let's be havin' ya!" Delia!

[@Cashback13]

It's the generation 'before last' of woman adopting attitudes from their pre and post war mothers of "You have to do it" I doubt any woman aged 25-35 make this much of a fuss or have the money to make much of a fuss, these are affluent woman with middle class anxieties. It's better to be a man at xmas because we don't readily adopt the bullshit side of xmas excess and just do the minimum neccessaries, tree and presents.

[@mikem1966]

I bet the people at Slumber Soft are gutted.

[@SparkieGoth]

@leprincessofdarkness Yes, I laughed at that bit too! :D

[@charlesjackson7904]

Deep in Justin ward’s belly toddlers are writhing in brutal agony forevermore are screwed for eternity

[@victoriabeckfinat225]

It's not that serious AT ALL. This has nothing to do with education, prosperity, affluence, opportunities, or being miserable. They're just talking about how crazy the Christmas Holiday can be.

[@johnkremer2509]

We work to pay the bills, if you don't like it don't get married and have kids

[@charlesjackson7904]

Micahs daddy cooking cooking

[@bonniebrown6960]

What ?!! You forgot who Joseph is ?!! 😮 . The lady that has a husband that chops off the top of a Christmas tree instead of the bottom of the tree ? You don't like Christmas cards ? Wow....!! These people don't know what Christmas means at all !! I'm poor and I enjoy Christmas more than they do .

[@marieince3239]

Who the hell is jenny Trent and why buy loads of food for an army for one bloody day the shops are open boxing day don't send Xmas cards

[@ursie1986]

She laughs and says 'oh Joseph' but wasn't it... kind of... god?

[@ingenuity168]

Get a 7 foot tree.

[@marieince3239]

Why bye so much crap just for one day it's crazy I hate Xmas cards

[@InnuendoXP]

lol, i was discussing this with my friend the other day.. about how there's really no christmas culture adapted for countries in the southern hemisphere.. that'd go for new zealand and south africa too.. sitting by a roaring fire on christmas doesn't work down here for obvious reasons. So all we can really do is a half-assed antipodean adaption of what you europeans are doing but with cold meats and cold desserts. And so much wasted food, because nobody is really hungry in hot weather.

[@xYoshiiiiox]

We've never had a real Christmas tree it's always been artificial, ours is a £120 one from John Lewis and looks better than a real one. A friend of mine had a real one and when I go and help decorate it I go mental with all the needles on the floor. We also decorate the tree together, look and move things about, then watch Scrooge.

[@oiooi6460]

That smug black woman is so vile

[@marshhen]

I hope this is cheering for women who have similar experiences. Do they have no capacity to live according to what they find important, why are they bothering ?? In this day and age are heterosexual adult women really this miserable ? Why do they live like this if they dont like it? They are prosperous and educated. As a young woman I just think, wow, is this the best women can do for themselves ? Affluence and opportunity seem to have done little for this generation of baby boomers.

[@myvideos9811]

Was it, the woman who designed Christmas? Or was it men Who decided what we need and what to do and when to do it. SO if you know the answer then please stop picking on men. Malc UK
