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?

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. ------------- "One of the dominant facts in English life during the past three quarters of a century has been the decay of ability in the ruling class." Orwell, 1942. |

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.

Sernik is what the in laws call it. They say the cake originated in Vienna. Szarlotka (Charlotte cake) is a type of apple cake. There's slices here in front of me. Fecking stuffed to the gills at the moment with cake

There is a tradition now of people posting photos of their whole family all in matching Christmas pjs, Da and all. These are not the classic Dessie Curley Pjs that every Da in Ireland had in the 80s if they ever went to hospital. These are American styled Christmas ones. Looks weird to me to be honest but each to their own. ------------- AKA pedantic kunt |

I have to say, I love my Homer Simpson drinking a duff beer while wearing a Santa hat Christmas PJs. Have them the past few years and is nice to put them on after putting up the Christmas tree and getting the house all Christmassy. Wife made us do matching PJs one night last year too for a photo, just for the family collection versus uploading it to social media. |
