Are you Mr/Mrs Average

Sis started early on Christmas eve, so the Zigs hid in the car with a bottle of wine & the radio

 

I don't know about average, but different to most. We don't argue, what's the point, nothing is gained by it.

 

Wouldn't work for me. If I said 'yes dear' or any words to that effect, she would just demand to know what I meant by that.

 

Blimey, shiney! Didn't realise you were one of the three wise men

 

I would hate a 'yes man' ... sorry, Michael ... as I would a 'yes woman' ...

 

Victoria, saying "Yes, dear" is not the same as being a "yes man"

 

Sweetheart, I don't say 'yes dear' to anyone ... xx

 

still no argument here .............. my lot now better than than over Christmas ... they did it once and i got up from the dinner table and started to take down the decorations they have never done it again since

 

Shiney, you certainly have a great attitude and good practice around the entertainment issue. When "his" family came for holidays. I would, do the shopping, the cooking, the table setting etc. Would get so annoyed that he could not see that guests needed their drinks refreshed. I 'd say to him you mom needs....... and he look at me like I have two heads.

 

I just do as I'm told and everything's fine.

I do remember from childhood though, some classic Christmas arguments between my parents.

On one famous occasion, my mate and I were sitting in the front room, innocently watching some Boxing Day TV when dad returned home (late) from a lunchtime pint or three down the local.

Mother was not best pleased and a lively 'discussion' ensued, which soon escalated into a real humdinger of a row.

Me and my mate had heard it all before (his parents were prone to the odd lively debate too), so we just carried on watching telly. A few seconds later, the half eaten carcass of the Christmas dinner goose came flying through the door and bounced across the floor in front of us, coming to rest in front of the TV.

Now THAT is a proper Christmas argument.

Whenever I meet up with my old mate, we still laugh about it to this day.

 

Still nothing here ...
