They're also allowed. I'll even make a small allowance for Cliff's Mistletoe & Wine.

Quote: zooo @ October 2 2009, 11:56 PM BSTCan't you just say you want a quiet family Christmas this year and stay at your house with the kids?
I never went away over Christmas as a kid, always stayed home. The last thing I want to be doing at Christmas is be staying at someone's house, being all polite and uncomfortable.
Totally.

Grrr. 
I hate criers.
They make me

Except the Millenium travesty.

Very rarely are Amazon cheapest. I've advised everyone who gets me that kind of thing just to give me cash.
Quote: AndreaLynne @ October 3 2009, 12:05 AM BSTNo, they are both manipulative and will turn both sides against us. They've both done it before.
Now, my reaction to that would be to f**k 'em (not literally). You don't need people in your life who behave like that. But then I don't really feel the need for family or anything anyway. They're just a nice extra perhaps.
Poor Aaron's mummy. 
Quote: Aaron @ October 3 2009, 12:02 AM BSTBloody blimey. Your family is weird!
But like zooo said, you should tell 'em to poo off. Why do you feel you have to drive them all over the place? Seems silly to me.
These are the blissfully innocent words of someone who's never had kids.
I'm already being asked about Christmas presents I'd like, but my mum's working Christmas Day this year, so none of it will be the same.

Your Mum is...(gulp)...Santa?? 
Sure, why not? 
Hahaha, cool. It probably won't work on most equipment though. Those 'learning' remotes are always rubbish, no matter how good they say they are.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Don't ruin it!

I can promise you, kids won't change my feelings on that kind of thing.

No, her Mum is Blitzen.

Bearing in mind I've already been sent two Christmas cards, probably not.
