These excuses don't wash with me. You can get a tree fairly cheap from Argos, some of them even come already decorated. And neither me or Andy spend Christmas at the flat, but that's not the point, it's nice to feel all Christmassy for ages before Christmas day.
I don't know, maybe it's just me and Andy? We really, really love Christmas and everything about it, and we want that feeling to last as long as possible so we put up decorations, watch Christmas films, have Smooth Xmas on the radio and really get in to the whole thing.
Oh I totally get the appeal of Christmas decorations, and I love the Yuletide season, I dunno, it just feels different in an all male house share.
When I lived at home, I jumped at the chance to help decorate, but nobody else seems interested. I'm not going to push the matter, the folks are all over that shit already! The house looked great when I went over.
Bro and the missus down on Christmas Day too, it's going to be jolly jolly.
Me and Jen put our tree up yesterday, listening to Rat Pack Xmas songs and sipping Brandy and Coke.
So fucking festive.
Aww dude! That sounds like a John Lewis ad or something.
See I get this, it's romantic and comforting, making the place cozy for guests and stuff. I'd be right into it, but it's not the same with the lads.
Maybe I'll hang a string of tinsel on my bedroom door handle, just so I can say I made an effort.
