Let me guess - you've seen a picture on FB posted by a friend of himself and his family in their Christmas pj's with an elf on a shelf in the background and the picture is captioned with that greeting? LOL

Edit: please tell me you're not responsible for this yourself. LOL

Whatever about new traditions, this 'The way we were at Christmas' on RTE right now is some pile of dung.

First time spending Christmas with the in-laws, they're Polish. 
As they celebrate Christmas tonight dinner consisted of...

- Beetroot soup with two types of dumplings

- Porcini mushroom soup 

- Fried Carp with salad

- Two types of pickled herring. One salted the other in oil and spices

- Side dishes included mashed beetroot mixed with horseradish sauce 🔥, salad and potato salad

- Multiple cakes including home made polish cheesecake and the grandmothers poppy seed cake.

It's certainly been a different Christmas so far. Grub has been top notch tbf.

It was like an extension of all those moronic radio DJs (or content creators as they like to call themselves now) who's entire schtick seems to be 'Wasn't it great craic when we were all in school, lads! Craic! School! Send in your texts or voice notes about what great craic school was!'

Sounds class. The Polish do a good Christmas grub alright, the neighbor always drops in with a bit of cake for us. Was the cheesecake the one with a layer of jelly in it by chance? She dropped a lovely one that sort of like a trifle cheesecake crossover before.

The elf on the shelf is a pain in the arse.
Was grand the first year but year 3 and it’s a drain, completely out of ideas and even when put the effort in our ten year old barely raised an eyebrow when she saw what way I had done it. I’d say I forgot to move them about half the time this year! She doesn’t care anyway and said she seen it on TikTok that it’s fake and the parents moving them. So last year for her, but will have To start again down the tracks when our new baby is old enough. Dreading it already!

Talking heads including Joe Duffy, Brendan Courtney, June Rodgers, Donal Fallon and Maurice Pratt banging on about Christmas in the old days. Sure we were poor but we were happy, we all went to town on December 8th, you could buy a turkey off the bonnet of a car, midnight mass was great till they moved it till 9pm and the best thing about Christmas was finding a tangerine in your stocking.

Well worth the licence fee.
