I love this too. I remember loving it when it came out & I was only in my early 20’s. You’d probably like the older & wider podcast that Jenny Eclair & Judith Holder (she’s the lady who acts in this)
Christmas is as hard or easy as you want to make it!!! Christmas to me is church, cosy Christmas films, wondetful TV, chillin and a budget of £5 per person, I'd rather give to charity....adopt a donkey, and people give my budget to Charity, I love the old fashioned Christmas 😊❤
I have never seen this but what stands out to me is that as funny as these women are , ALL that they say is SAD BUT TRUE !!! I bowed out of ALL THAT IS XMAS 20+ years ago . I don't buy presents for ANYONE and I don't expect any from anyone . I don't stress , I don't care -- my blood pressure is high enough without all that commercial , pretentious BS .
I don't have any cookbooks by Delia or Nigella, I don't make my own mince pies, or Christmas cake or sausage rolls. The only decorations are on the Christmas tree which goes up about 3 days before Christmas. I don't care what a lack of Christmas cards says about me, although I do like to make sure Christmas dinner is good and the table is laid nicely. I don't go completely go nuts like I used to.
I'm a grumpy old woman and have been for at least 10 years now. I don't do Xmas, it's the solstice around then and that's more important to me, I am a grumpy old Heathen in fact!
Love this and grumpy old men Christmas. And it's so true. We may as well not celebrate the holiday again because we can't afford it anymore due to inflation. It's a nightmare. I love Jenny's comment on how lavish West End productions require less prep work 😂
Love all these grumpy guide to Christmas there are 2. I absolutely cry laughing I am a grumpy woman at Christmas when Penny Smith says she hates it I know that feeling 😖 This is brilliant and I watch it over and over can’t get enough this makes my Christmas 😂
I hate the words from my husbands mouth, as we’re about to go for a pre Christmas meal out with friends, or a birthday, ‘Did you get a birthday/Christmas card for so and so’. I could get into very strong words with him, starting with’ Why, did you get cards for them too?’.
I love anything I receive but I've never received used soap so ... And my mom was always a good gift giver and receiver but we did help her get the gifts when we were adults, especially my oldest brother and myself. The three of us did most of the wrapping too. My brother is a great wrapper and I would match ribbon and bow and label. We miss our mom.
You have to control Christmas, rather than allow Christmas to control you! My Xmas tree goes up the week of Xmas, not a day before. I limit my gift buying to parents and siblings, and we all set a limit of £10 each, so just a gesture of a gift really. We get together for Xmas lunch on Xmas day, and that’s it. End of.
Sounds like a man, or the woman who organizes everything. Who buys, brings home and decorates the tree, hosts the event, cooks the Christmas lunch, buys the gifts and cleans up.
I fixate on Christmas for the entire year and then realize on Christmas Eve that I haven't dug out the cups, plates and glasses with the yuletide designs out of the garage AGAIN this year. They're out there somewhere. I'll probably find them in June when I'm looking for something else.
Having just watched the other two Grumpy Christmas specials, I still wasn't feeling the grumpy spirit, but thanks to you, this will be my grumpiest Christmas ever...
Traditions are very out dated. I loved the magical Xmas times when a young and innocent girl sharing fun and happy times with my big family back in the fifties/sixties. These days it just seems over commercialised and is consumerism gone mad. I can understand why so many people stress and strain and get into so much debt about it. I don`t envy the parents of today who are put under so much financial pressure which surrounds them competing with other parents/ friends and families. Providing for their kids with just the basics and essentials is not easy at the best of times. Material things are not important in life they are just stuff which clutter our lives and the older we get the more we realise it. Kindness in deeds and love is the best things we can give and offer to others and which are priceless, and should be given all year round not just once a year.
I think that one of the best things of the whole coronash*t is that we have learned that we DO NOT NEED TO BE SOCIAL. I honestly love not having to go through all this...
Even when doe well... it is just bland. We have beef or lamb every year :P (we will die of strokes, bowel cancer, and heart attacks, but at least we had a good few meals).
I watch this every year too! I love the little Vignettes of the Lady and the family at Christmas lol! I like how they filmed the actress in real places, and even times of day like when she was seeing to the Turkey early in the Morning! 'The size of that Turkey, though!'. Sheila Hancock is so right "Why do we eat Turkey at Christmas, it's so foul; It tastes of nothing" lol. Janet Street Porter's story about going away, and her Mother insisting she take this Special gift with her to open is hilarious! Never heard of her wet flannel game, sounds funny! As is Arabella Weir's story about the Soap on a rope! Happy Christmas everyone:) xo
😂😂😂 And Jane Moore saying she'd never be chosen as a child to play Mary in the nativity play, because she had a haircut like Oliver Cromwell !!! Hahaha, That had me laughing out loud ! 😂😂😂😂
I never went in for the craze presents... except the Tamagotchi. My parents said it was a phase... I am twenty-eight and I still put it on my "list" every year in hope.
Shes very pretty and u get the ceebrity. But did she actually eat anything? I have to admire her restraint. I'd have been scoffing down cakes and scones with all the clotted cream exclaiming "t'is bit dry, me grans am better" 😂
This is great, but you learn to master it, Buy a second hand chest freezer for a kick off and click and buy. making festive time for the fun things. Or fly off to an air band b for a month to Austria. or the Canay Isles to escape the pis£ wet of the UK
They always talk about "sprouts". I guess that must be a British thing. 'the leathery dry turkey" thing must be British also, as I make a Turkey for T-day and Christmas(as an American!) and mine is never dry nor leathery! Only things I dispute!
I love sprouts and the only turkey I ever overcooked was the first one I ever cooked. I was 19 with a 3 month old. I learned very quick that was money wasted we couldn’t afford. We brits have a tradition of being very self deprecating 🤣🤣🥳

Ah, finally a Christmas themed subject I haven't seen before that makes me genuinely grin my widest grin and makes me relaxed. I love the Brits.
I despise Christmas. There,I said it.
It's got nothing to do with Christanity, more like Mammon worship. I really think it's OTT and makes so many people unhappy !
😂😂😂
You’ll be sorry
"Cult of Christmas" is SOOOOOOOOO true! And it's only gotten worse! 😳
It's no longer a holiday, it's an industry.
Kneel
It's better celebrated in Germany, Italy, or Sweden. Christmas feels a bit more magical in places like these.
You will kneel you all will

Hi 🤗
How are you Marian
Apparently, nobody in England can cook a turkey, which is sad because, if done correctly, they are delicious.
would like your recipe please?
I can cook a turkey properly. Unfortunately I hate Christmas so only me and the cat get to enjoy it.
Turkeys, like chicken should be cooked "upside down", i.e. breast down so all the juices run into it and keep it moist. Not a lot of people know that.
Even when doe well... it is just bland. We have beef or lamb every year :P (we will die of strokes, bowel cancer, and heart attacks, but at least we had a good few meals).
Absolutely brilliant ❤
Watching this in 2023 this should be ‘ Grumpy RICH women at Christmas ‘.
