Rare things we do and think now that it's almost Christmas

Just one more night and it's Christmas. Of course, you still have to pick up all your Christmas presents, stop by the fishmonger, and your dress is somewhere in the PostNL warehouse. Okay, okay, I still have to pick up all my Christmas presents, stop by the fishmonger, and my dress is still somewhere in a warehouse, yes. That most wonderful time of the year makes us burden ourselves with dubious things and also act and think a bit strangely. Christmas in 6 points.

1. We wear sweaters that are hideous and then pretend that it's perfectly normal. A Takkie sweater is not normal, people, even models can't get away with it.
2. You spend three hours in the company of an uncle who always gets just a bit too drunk and sweaty during the gourmet dinner. But you pretend this is the coziest thing you can do at Christmas. Because that's what you do.
3. You eat ten times the allowed amount and take a Rennie to digest all that heavy stuff. Year after year.
4. We light all the candles in the house at once, causing the oxygen level to become precarious and eventually the door has to be opened.
5. You leave all your hot lingerie in the closet (sorry guys), because only jeans can hide those edges and ridges of all that lace. By the way, this is the solution for under that just too tight Christmas dress, you’re welcome.
6. Scheduling your movies in your Christmas schedule. Can we come for brunch at eleven? Ah no, unfortunately, we won't make it (because we're watching part one of The Hobbit during breakfast, but you don't need to know that).
