I don't host Christmas at my house. I'd have no control over when it ends.

Sure you do. People will sharp leave if you come back downstairs, naked but for the bathrobe loosely cinched about your waist, turkey leg in one hand gravy pan in the other. Settle on the sofa, pop a tv boxed set on (making sure it's one with gratuitous sex or uncomfortable violent scenes in) and mutter "getoutgetoutgetoutgetoutgetout" like a misanthropic mantra.

Read that like you're getting a dog for fucking. Like a shopping trolley, a sweeping brush, a fucking dog.

So, going for beef this year as none of us like turkey. Trouble is that's fucked up the pigs in blankets and sprouts with lardons, hasn't it? Both of which are lush.

Have them anyway, there’s no Kitchen Police working on Christmas Day. 

[The Fish 11350]

Aye, it's Christmas Day, you can eat whatever the fuck you want, whenever you want.

Compromise is the key to a happy Christmas. Play monopoly and simultaneously get rat arsed while speaking in a Sean Connery accent. Tip the board over in a rage for the crescendo whilst screaming about mish moneypenny.

He'd be up in the attic with me, talking shit, drinking whiskey and avoiding a game of fucking Dingbats.

Monopoly is a sure fire way to family arguments. 

 

I prefer games where my towering intellect assures a victory. Like Trivial Pursuit, Mastermind or Pop-up Pirate.

[Monkeys Fist 45861]

But not Dingbats, eh?

Mastermind pissed might be problematic. I used to love risk, would still happily play that. Key to it is to annex Australasia!

[Park Life 71]

Still play risk.

Used to like doing them in da Chronic back in the day

I'm with @Andrew in having fond memories of Christmas, charades and all.

 

It might help that I haven't really celebrated it with the family in ~15 years though.  That and not having kids.

Dingbats is easy mate, but my Dad would rather cheese grate his cock off, than play that game. Fucking hates it. Think it's a pavlovian reaction to playing it for hours cramped in a narrowboat on the macclesfield canal as it pissed down outside.
