 Is Christmas always such an ordeal?

Comments

[repetiteur.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

And yet people suffer it each year. It is quite ridiculous.

[repetiteur.livejournal.com]

I wholeheartedly agree.

[tainted-blooded.livejournal.com]

For those with families it is.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

Having a family is of little consequence. I have none and already I grow weary of it.

[lastgallifreyan.livejournal.com]

You have no idea.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

Not to the full extent, I imagine. Your family makes it troublesome, monsieur?

[lastgallifreyan.livejournal.com]

Well, not really. I don't have a family. But lots of trouble always seems to happen around Christmas time.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

Oh? Too much festive cheer?


[ooc: So much icon love! Geeky glasses - £50. Suit - £299.99. That expression - Priceless. XD]

[lastgallifreyan.livejournal.com]

Too little, I think, actually. Or bad luck. Or both.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

Bad luck?

[lastgallifreyan.livejournal.com]

365 days a year, and they manage to turn up at Christmas? What else could it be?

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

*raises visible brow* These are annual occurrences? It sounds more like a conspiracy, monsieur.

[lastgallifreyan.livejournal.com]

Could be, could be. Never have time to ask.

[echo-my-words.livejournal.com]

Oh dear god yes. Always. Especially with GRANDchildren.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

*frowns* You have grandchildren?

[echo-my-words.livejournal.com]

I have one (newborn). My sister has several (the eldest is 3). The toys being bought this year are RIDICULOUS.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

You seem far too young, madame.

*raises visible brow* Ridiculous? How so?

[echo-my-words.livejournal.com]

Why thank you, sir. That's very kind of you.

*laughs softly* Well, for instance, my sister and I went out shopping and spent over 200 quid each just on the children. Plus everything makes noise or is computer based... it's simply overwhelming.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

*frowns* Computer based?

[echo-my-words.livejournal.com]

Electronic? With microchips and things. Don't ask me, I don't really know myself. I know how it works on the most basic of levels.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

All done with electricity? That is certainly fascinating. And these are children's toys? It hardly seems appropriate, if you will forgive me for saying so.

[the-may-child.livejournal.com]

I take it you didn't like the stocking?

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

Quite the opposite in fact. *smile* Thank you, madame. You are far too generous.

[the-may-child.livejournal.com]

Oh, well. *beams*

I'm glad that you like it.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

Indeed I do. The only issue I have with Christmas is giving to others. I ... do not know where to begin.

[the-may-child.livejournal.com]

Well, you needn't worry about me.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

*smile* Etiquette will not allow it. I am afraid you will also have to suffer my poor gift-giving decisions.

[the-may-child.livejournal.com]

I doubt anything you choose to send me would be poor.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

*wry laugh* You would be astounded...
