Christmas pleasures
|
|
Apart from the odd packet of peanuts down the pub, I never eat nuts. But come Christmas there is something very satisfying in buying them in their shells, getting a really good nut cracker and getting to work.
My missus doesn't get this. "Why buy them in the shells when you can buy them without the shells" she scream as she thinks of all of the hoovering that will inevitably follow.
I've thought about this and I think it's because as a kid, at the bottom of my Christmas stocking, there would always be some walnuts and a tangerine. Or an 'easy peeler' as they're marketed now.
Okay, they were walnuts - but they were MY walnuts - and as a seven year old that gives you a certain amount of empowerment. For the first time in my life I had my own walnuts, along with the power to crack them at any time I wished - no permission needed!
Yours?

Wholesome fun like jigsaws give me lots of pleasure during the Christmas period. And masturbation + digital penetration.

Those bags of mixed nuts always used to come in red string bags, if I see the same this year I'll be getting them. No substitutes though, I want the proper ones in the red string.
Dates, figs...that white plastic thing with the sort of two prong spike on the end to eat them with.

Alfs: I am with you mate. It's the nostalgia for me. When the bowl of exotic nuts you never saw all year were put in the lounge with the nutcrackers next to them you knew it was Christmas!

As a kid, satsumas were a rare and Christmas treat. Always got great satisfaction, in taking the peel off in one piece.

And that smell of satsumas... another Christmas ingredient.
If you take the peel and give it a good squeeze, more of the oils and aromas come out.

Every Christmas the woman next door lets me pop round there and throw my filthy man juice up her. It's nice to be neighbourly during the festive period.

Spending time with family I don't usually get much time to, as they live all over the fucking country.
Oh, and spending time with my nieces.
THAT is what christmas is all about, you cunts.
