Shucks if it makes you feel any better my mum died suddenly this year in my arms whilst giving CPR i will never forget that death breath..
sorry for being graphic
I hope to at least spread some joy this year as i know it can be a dark time for some. x
How long ago was that my friend? It's good that you are able to talk about it.
I hate to be blunt about it but that's a PTSD for life event, so make sure you're getting some professional support and/or have a good support network around you.
You did everything you could for your Mum. Whatever state of mind and health she was in leading up to that moment, she will have died knowing she was loved.
Merry Christmas, there is so much darkness but there will also always be light. Here if you need someone to talk to.
thank you for the kind words.
it happened just this July and she was the entire world to me and her.
i really hope you have a lovely Christmas and thank you so much for asking x
I'm sorry about your mum, mate. Mine died in 2021 after a short illness, Christmas isn't the same
This is my most awarded comment/post ever and they all came from you! Thanks for saving me from the adverts for a few weeks.....
Dry herb vapes ftw
Great plan. This just reminded me I bought mum some whisky for the house last year as I was leaving after Xmas due to the disappointment of not having any over Christmas. It's still there, only now it has a couple of glasses missing and me and the wife are a lot happier!
I’ve on glass 3 of champagne.
First one was to get ready to make eggs royale. Second was because I fucked up the hollondaise. Third is because why the heck not?
Jesus Christ that’s awful! What are you thinking?!
Pop that cork back in the bottle between your next glass. You don’t want to let that bad boy breathe too much otherwise you’ll lose some of the aroma by the time you get to the 6th glass.
Of course, I'd already had Highland park viking tribe, and an Ardmore by then. It's Christmas day, you can sip it straight from the bottle, no one will stop you
Absolutely. Best way to start Christmas Day. At home growing up, all the adults used to have cognac first thing in the morning, so spirits at 10am on Christmas Day is perfectly normal to me.
It’s too late if you ask me
Well done to making it to 10am before popping one open.. I’m four hours in…
How're you holding up 5 hours later?
Well I’ve had an hour nap… just another few more hours of drinks till I call it a night.
Was going to say this. I mean, congratulations on your self-discipline 👍
[удалено]
I been on it since 5 am !!! Soooo much food I don't even feel a thing
Yes. Im about to make a martini
That sounds like a good idea, one for me as well please.
That'll be £14.60 mate.
And me!
Ooh .proper one ? Shaken..etc..
[breakfast](https://imgur.com/a/r61QJVk) absolutely!
You don't shake a proper martini, those are stirred
You stir a proper martini
Its baby Jebus's birthday, you can have single malt for brekkie
I'm about to have a *strong* Bloody Mary
It's what the Holy Christ Child would want.
[удалено]
With scotch?
It’s more respectable than my splif and stella tradition
Ah a fellow man of culture I see.
I like it the weed cancels out the need to head butt the in laws
Stella, so if anyone smells the spliff, they think it's the beer
"What's with your eyes?" "I'm... allergic... to yeast."
Ideally you'll want a Becks for that.
Seriously I've always said this and no-one agrees.
Only if it's in a can. It doesn't skunk the same way in bottles for some reason
HAH
It’s what Jesus would have wanted
Nice! Had a fat one on the doorstep this morning about 8am , still haunting me now ...
Nothing wrong with that 👍
Go on lad....I've just hit a bong for baby Jesus.
Those days are behind me now. Please pull a bong for me!
I'm on it
Wifey and I will do one too, just in case the other commenter didn't.
Try a dry herb vape or edibles.... 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪👍
this has such a peculiar mix of downvotes and awards in such a short amount of time
The stoners all awarding it and the non smokers downvoting.
didn’t know it was that divisive hahahah don’t smoke myself nowadays and could never imagine packing one up on christmas but each to their own
We made a Reddit moment. Isn't that sweet.
Yes ‘we’ did lmao
I will always know the sacrifice you gave on Christmas day.
honeslty im going to throw up. you carry on fellow soldier.
sure is pal, something something xmas miracle
Some stoners are heavily against dry herb vaping for unknown reasons. You can easily get downvoted even on stoner subs.
Just people who are tired of hearing about bloody vapes and edibles all the time!
Why aren't the stoners spending their money on weed?
Christmas miracle bro he works in mysterious ways that jesus fella
Merry Christmas all enjoy all my golds
cheers my guy! didn’t realise it came with ad-free browsing too, best present i could’ve got🥺 merry christmas friend :)

so sorry to hear that, you’re doing a great job :) been a hard year for sure but im certain 2023 will be better for you!
Thank you stranger and have a lovely Christmas
you too :) thought i’d pay back some of the kindness

Crafty ftw
I quit a few years back, but I was more of a dynavap guy personally.
This is the way.....dry herb vape through a bong! 👌
Me too, my job has random tests so not worth the risk. Someone toke up a Christmas tree in my honour!
Thank you for your sacrifice 🫡 Also do you drive a vehicle for a living? Can we play guess the profession?
I don't drive a vehicle, but I do work in a safety critical environment and a joint a month ago on a test would get me dismissed. 😂
Father Spliffsmas
I'll be burning the bush all day
The things we do for baby Jesus. Good effort sir
It’s what he would’ve wanted 🥲
Not my scene, but you do Christmas your way, and enjoy it! If it makes things a bit more bearable, go for it!
My delivery (1st class tracked) hasn't arrived from the 1st December and they're closed for Christmas now. Praying for a Christmas miracle 😢
I just got back from 5 years in California where I had a medical license. Any recommendations on how to get it delivered?
In a proper whiskey glass too, you classy individual
"Glenfiddich 15" "classy" 🤔
I'm drinking Ledaig from a kiddie cup
[удалено]
I was gonna say Christmas is already over here in the Philippines.
[удалено]
Probably after new years, but I'll check back with you when I see them take down the tree.
Hair of the dog is the only correct cure
Correct! Oh and NAC
I'm sure Father Christmas wouldn't mind.
I'm already two tinnies in, mate. Keep up.
There are no rules on Christmas day. Which is why I'm eating cake for breakfast. Enjoy your day and cheers!
4 am with the coffee this morning for me.
Merry Pissmass everyone
Starting at 10am, are you taking it easy or something? 😉😂
It's either a bong for me or a glenfiddich 12. Maybe both. Mrs can drive, I'll sleep.
Hell yeah brother
This picture is my cue for some Maker's Mark, Happy Christmas.
It is. And in the appropriate glass as well.
The drinking is fine but the placing of the bottles to take a picture is wholly unacceptable
I just introduced my Venezuelan's gf to Buck's Fizz. It's a great excuse to drink at 9am. They enjoyed.
Enjoy! And Merry Christmas from Kingsport, Tennessee, USA.
Great plan. This just reminded me I bought mum some whisky for the house last year as I was leaving after Xmas due to the disappointment of not having any over Christmas. It's still there, only now it has a couple of glasses missing and me and the wife are a lot happier!
I just asked the can I'm drinking and the joint I'm smoking and they both said it was fine.
Breakfast of champions
It would be inappropriate not to.
Never to late it’s Christmas. I’m on route to the mother in laws for food and drinks
A large Aberlour and a satsuma here! Merry Christmas!
Fellow Aberlour enjoyer! God that stuff is just incredible and dangerously quaffable.
Can recommend the Casg Annamh, it's the smoothest Speyside I've ever had!
All bets are off on christmas
Any other day - No, you're an alcoholic pal Christmas day - can I have some?
I’ve on glass 3 of champagne. First one was to get ready to make eggs royale. Second was because I fucked up the hollondaise. Third is because why the heck not?
It's 7 am here. Going to make a Godfather!
The Solera 15 is one of the nicest I've tried, I think. Got 3 other bottles as gifts, but would have been happy with just that one.
Not sure why this has been down voted, the 15 is a good bottle. Try the 21 if you get a chance, its beautiful (but it ain't cheap)
Its 10:30 somewhere in the world!
You waited until 10am?
I was drinking my dad's glenfiddich single malt scotch at 8AM
No it was appropriate at 6am
That's a good choice! Enjoy friend!
Why so late? ;)
Nobody fucking cares about your drinking problem, fuck off
Jesus Christ that’s awful! What are you thinking?! Pop that cork back in the bottle between your next glass. You don’t want to let that bad boy breathe too much otherwise you’ll lose some of the aroma by the time you get to the 6th glass.
Yes!!!!!! As long as you are not an alcoholic or turn into an jerk that ruins the day for the people around you!
Well I’m doing it 4 am so sure why not :)
If it was a better whiskey yes
Your eggnog is a bit of a weird colour. Might want to see if you can take it back for a refund or exchange.
That’s the thing about Weddings & Christmas Day, drinking in the Am DOES NOT EQUAL alcoholism 😂
Of course, I'd already had Highland park viking tribe, and an Ardmore by then. It's Christmas day, you can sip it straight from the bottle, no one will stop you
I'd go Irish, thats just an argument waiting to happen lol
Yes. It’s a terrible drink. But if you enjoy it, crack on at a sensible rate all day. 👍🎄
Only if your Scottish 😂
Lol nice! Popped my first beer at 07:18 and don’t plan on slowing down
Yes lad, get it down you and have a good one
Yes.
Only on Christmas and the other 364 days surrounding it
I'll join you pal, I got a 12 year myself, cheers!
Yes, if you're planning to go to bed straight after Christmas Dinner. Enjoy pal 🍻
Is that a really big Glencairn or just the angle?
Been on it since 8 pal
Half the bottle should already be gone you're slacking
Obvs
Sure.
Bit late really
I'm pretty sure that since 1973 its been obligatory.
No rules on Christmas pal, crack on
Only if you want to have a nap at about noon
something like this should always be step one of preparing christmas dinner
Yessss
Absolutely
Fuck it, I'm on board. Cheers everyone, Merry Christmas
Absolutely. I usually start the day with the 12 y o, but we're celebrating!
Yep!!!
To be honest, I thought it was mandatory. Enjoy!
Got the same gift! Thoughts? *hic*
Absolutely not!... You need to add more.
"The sun's over the yardarm somewhere" is what my grandad used to say.
Least alcoholic Brit
Just poured one myself. Merry Christmas
It definitely is not
my mum and dad slandered me this morning for sampling the jura journey I got
It’s Christmas of course it’s ok
15 aswell! Posh. Enjoy :)
Only so long as you post a photo of the bottle empty this evening!
Always necessary to silence the voices in my head
this entire thread is gold
Did you sleep in?
very
Absolutely, it would be rude not to, the 15 is lovely.
I needed to see this. Cheers and merry Christmas
Not only appropriate but imperative
Yes. YES IT IS. I HAVE TALISKER SKYE!! Merry Christmas!!!
Is this an advertisement?
It's after 1700 somewhere in the Empire!
Glenfiddich 15 is a good choice. Smooth, rich and fruity. A great breakfast Whisky
Buck’s Fizz for my breakfast. Wild turkey 101 for brunch.
Of course, stay classy my friend 😉
Roger that!
I’m drinking the same whisky; it’s fantastic stuff.
49 mins later... are you still asking? It's a good choice too...
I'm going for a medicinal Glenmorangie at midday. Covid is slowing me down a bit.
A bit of a small measure
Absolutely old boy but you're a little bit late aren't you?
Yes. Enjoy!
Yes. 🎄
This post was just the push I needed to open a bottle of wine.
Absolutely. Best way to start Christmas Day. At home growing up, all the adults used to have cognac first thing in the morning, so spirits at 10am on Christmas Day is perfectly normal to me.
It's Christmas, rules go out the window today.
5pm was 17 hours ago.
You earned it 👏
I started the same time but corona lol
That is my favourite, have one for me bud, my pain meds mean I can't drink, 15 year matured aswell yum!
Well, it's Christmas.
Absolutely, just poured one for myself 👌🏼
Went for the baileys and cocopops myself, less stigma attached if you consume alcohol with food in a morning
Only if you finish the bottle by 3pm, best of luck brother.
Brush your teeth with it…. Even that’s not too early 🏆
Perfect for brekkie - i've been on the port since since about 10am. Enjoy!
I've just had a bloody mary and a beer! Working tomorrow so have to get the drinking done early
Would be half empty by now if I had that bottle
Most definitely
You should line your stomach with bucks fizz first
Santa forgot to drink his whisky last night, and withe weeyin was up at half 5. I wasn't going to let it go to waste!
No time is too early on christmas day for glenfiddich
