On the 2nd day of Christmas Past…🎄

Black-Eye Friday

In days LONG past, Black Friday wasn’t the day after Thanksgiving where everyone spent loads of money in the sales. Black Friday (or Black-Eye Friday if you’re from the North) was the last working Friday before Christmas when the office closed early and everyone headed for the pub.

Much more hedonistic than the office party, this was the afternoon where people really let loose, enjoying the fact that they should *actually* still be at work but the boss was being uncharacteristically Un-Scrooge-like and had even bought a round of drinks.

This afternoon in the pub was usually followed by gaggles of squiffy men with ties askew blocking the aisles of Boots just before the shops closed at 5pm buying last minute emergency bottles of Fantasy By Britney Spears.

Now we are responsible parents, those days are long gone and the ridiculously early rising hours of our kids and the crippling hangovers mean it’s not even worth risking that second glass of Baileys.

On the 4th day of Christmas Past… or is it the 3rd day….???🎄

Whose silly idea was it to do a Christmas countdown?? As if I’ve got time to think up a nostalgic post for 12 days in a row… I still haven’t finished the shopping and I haven’t even started on thinking about the big supermarket shop and now there’s a damp patch on the bedroom ceiling (has storm Pia blown off the roof tiles? 😱) and will the trains be running…? Will I have to go and pick up my mother-in-law???

On the 5th day of Christmas Past… 🎅🏻

Sylvanian Families. These little critters were living better lives than we were, in their architect-converted windmills and grand hotel holidays. They certainly weren’t having tantrums at the Christmas dining table because their sibling got the red hat from the cracker and THEY wanted the red hat, or flipping over the monopoly board in a fit of rage. Oh no. Not them.

On the 6th day of Christmas Past… 🎄

This one could also double up as an , but today we’re actually celebrating cheap tinsel ornaments.

As you can see, we’ve gone completely overboard with the decorations here 😆 That cheap tinsel had a particular sort-of static smell, and those red, green and gold pull-out concertina-y garlands were pretty much your only choice in festive embellishment. They are probably now trendy again in an ironic way…. 🤷‍♀️
