My mother used to put her sprouts on in november & boil the feck out of them to the point where the water they were boiled in was more nutritious than the actual sprouts.
Oh my god when they were setting up the kids play set I was laughing so hard. I remember watching my parents do that pissed while my younger siblings were asleep upstairs
Bridget...get the goose outta the bucket ...it wont play table tennis with me....wtf??! Absolutely love these sketches! On behalf of all of us paddies living overseas thanks for making it xmas away that bit easier!
"back in my day, all we got was nothing, we went to mass and then we had to go and feed the cows and then get turf for the fire and defend the house from the invasion of those fecking snowmen."
I grew up in Scotland in the 80's and my main memories are Soda Streams, my mum hitting me with a wooden spoon or my uncle making home made fireworks in dog food tins or letting off a shotgun next to our heads to "scare" us. Or running about the house in his Y-fronts with a chainsaw. I think I might know why I have issues.

Oh God the Moran family Christmas . My mothers shout could be heard in China . My fathers could be heard on the Moon. Shares in Sellotape when up . Lots of Whiskey . In the food , in the presents . In the glass and in the mouth.
● fights over who picks up the in laws and brings them over ● "see you at x time for mass!" "Ma, I'm 26, I don't think I'll go this year." (10 minute glare until you agree to go) ● "did you hear who's after dying" festive addition where you talk about what a shame it is they didn't make it to Christmas
In my house I'm in charge of the stuffing, make one standard Sage & Onion from a packet and I make one from scratch using breadcrumbs and haggis cos Haggis Stuffing is great with white meat. Both lots always get ripped into.
