What gets boring/tiresome on Christmas day?

A partner who hates Christmas and always manages to start a WW3 fight, before going out to friends, who take 'pity' on me having such a kill-joy partner.

Hi

I suppose it all depends on who might be reading your salespage.

You could appeal to grandparents to buy for the grandchildren - 'remember when you were young - no fancy gadgets...etc in the days when we used to sit with the family and the box of games came out of the sideboard? Well, re-create that feeling of nostalgia and introduce the fun of family games....etc.

'Forget the washing up - gets your hands on (name of product)'.

Hi Aurora

You're welcome!

Hope it goes well for you.

It's great when you/I get stuck on something and maybe just one simple hint or idea triggers off a whole load more and gets the imagination working :-)

Picking up all that paper the kids have thrown everywhere as they open their presents.

Make me something that picks up the paper easy (like a pooper scooper for paper, perhaps a claw device that graps the paper).

The most boring/tiresome thing (for me) on Christmas Day is the way the world builds up into a manic frenzy only to... shut down. I know it's only for one day, but by half-past nine in the morning most of us in our house have already had enough and are bored out of our brains and itching to get back to doing our own thing but are too polite to say so. Even the kids have usually started to go off the idea once the presents have been opened and they realize that none of their favourite programs are on the telly.

It's not that we can't do the 'togetherness' thing in our family - we do it often. It's more that we seem incapable of falling into a 'togetherness national shutdown' and would prefer to do it on our own terms while the rest of the world goes on as normal. Thinking about it, the get-together we have a couple of days later is always much more fun, even though it's a tradition of our own that sprang up out of nowhere and everyone else generally considers the festivities to be over.

Solution!

Go to work on Christmas Day (Like me) earn double pay, a day off in lieu and a Thank You bonus + Christmas hamper.

I Love Christmas
