10 things that always happen at family Christmas
Have I had enough stuffing?! Don't be silly.
One of the best parts of Christmas is getting all the family together – it's fun and full of laughs and surprises. However, there always seem to be a few things that predictably happen every year...
1. The kids (...and sometimes adults) will always try and guess the presents
It's so tantalising when they're there tucked under the tree for ages!
2. And someone will always pick up an obvious-shaped present and go 'oh, I wonder what this is!'
Sshhh Olivander, we know it's a Toblerone...
3. We're already drunk by 10.30...
Damn that bucks fizz, so deceiving!
4. There's ALWAYS one person who gets all the cracker presents.
What are your methods?!
5. Something will get burnt... but we smile and pretend it's delicious, because you know, it's Christmas.
Mmmm crispy!
6. The kids will complain about brussel sprouts
We had to eat them so they should too!
7. The carpets always come out stained – whether it's gran with her sherry or dad with his beer, there'a always spillage.
That's probably enough now, Gran.
8. There will be a group nap in front of the TV...
We try and stay awake for Elf, though!
9. Despite swearing you'll never eat again, the rumbles always seem to come back at 6-ish...
What, the leftovers were staring at me!
10. Someone will eat all the good chocolate.
Christmas eating is a game, you have to be fast!
But most of all, you'll remember just how much you love family time. We all need to get together more often, guys!
N'awww.
