I remember one Xmas shopping in the supermarket I was really stressed out. Then cliff came on singing that just put me over the edge I screamed turn him off everyone just stared at me
This program made me laugh out loud… And I’m so grateful that I am alone and can spend Christmas doing my own thing… And not being forced to be polite or sociable or eat anything associated with Christmas
I absolutely agree about the cruelty of forcing shop assistants to listen to Christmas music from October through January. It was so bad that when they accidentally played a Wurzels song, my heart nearly grew three sizes. The Wurzels, for god's sake. I Am A Cider Drinker. That's what we call rock bottom.
Oh, man...thank God for this program. I was beginning to think I was the only one...However, my Christmases from now on won't be too bad, actually. You see, everyone is dead and now, it is just me and that is quite fine.
Geoffrey Palmer is the perfect narrator for this series. He already sounds gloomy reading his script. Jack Dee is another gloomy soul, but he would add a different gloominess
Ya'll have nothing to complain about. In the Philippines the Christmas season starts in SEPTEMBER and ends in fucking FEBRUARY. I don't know why people bother to take the Christmas lights down anymore.
I like Christmas pudding and mince pies. I am usually full up after the Christmas Day meal (who isn’t) but I will always have Christmas Pudding with custard, and several mince pies over the Christmas period. I always loved them, but somebody said years ago when I was at my works’ Christmas dinner, that it is unlucky to refuse them, so I never do. They are too nice to refuse anyway, I find Christmas pudd and mince pies comforting. 🥳
I adore Christmas. I love buying presents, wrapping them whilst drinking heavily, of course. My mum also makes an amazing Christmas dinner, so I always enjoy that. No turkey though, we have pork and lamb. I don't know why people eat turkey if they don't enjoy it. I do love these Grumpy Christmas programmes though, because I can see the humour in it all and can understand why a lot of people don't enjoy it.
I live in Sydney Australia . All I can say is I have never or has anyone I know ever spent Christmas at the Beach. Yes it is True Bondi Is full of Pommie Backpackers & Backpackers in General. .
I live in Canada , no thanks to a beach Christmas . Give me the snow filled Canadian Rocky Mountains , the horse drawn sleigh rides , chestnuts roasting over an open fire .It defines Christmas celebrations .
love this, so funny and so true. I do Christmas on the 8th of Jan. Russian Orthodox.Great, calm , non commercial plus cheap and so much more fun, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.
In my family because Christmas is such a blur, we find that the season has passed before we've done half of the things we wanted to do. Some of my family don't really get into it, but me I just celebrate it when I get a chance to relax and be around people I want to be around. We don't often buy surprises that others have to pretend to appreciate. Most gifts become clutter. I figure that Jesus was already the most thoughtful gift, and he may have been born in the spring. We also realize on New Years Day that we forgot to send Christmas Cards. I am from the USA in case anyone wonders. I never had a truly British Christmas.
Unscrupulous merchants and greedy middlemen have made the Season of Christmas what it is today in the minds of most people. This is not to mention the horrible and incessant cacophony that passes for Christmas Carols being blasted in every shop you go into, and which have nothing at all to do with the true meaning of the holyday! It's not for nothing then that according to statistics, more suicides occur during this time of year, by far, than any other!
Whether you believe it or not, there are folk's who are truly and sincerely enthusiastic about the Christmas holidays, the psychiatric community. No joke. Way-back-when, we received Christmas cards that covered the livingroom walls. "Everyone Loves Us". Last Christmas we recieved Zero, null, 0, empty set. I'm crushed. 🙂
Spend it in an isolated cottage with or without your husband and dog, plenty of gin and a few books a Fortnum's hamper, hot water bottle, roaring fire and it will all be over soon.............Bah Humbug!
Thanks so much for uploading this. I`ve been trying to find this for ages. You don't have the grumpy guide to the eighties do you? If you uploaded that, it would make my week :)
Richard Trout I was so horribly disappointed when my mother's boss, a very wealthy Anglophile had a Christmas "pudding" with hard sauce sent to us for Christmas along with quite a few other goodies. It was horrible, taste, texture simply everything about it. Now, a British friend claimed it to be exquisite. He was either mad or utterly without a sense of taste. The ten pounds of pistachios and the twenty pound wheel of baby Swiss and other goodies were splendid. But God that 'cake' was awful. We told him we loved it though, just far less emphasis on it than all his other wonderful gifts. What a great fellow he was.
Will James I would sooner hear "Feliz Navidad" by Jose Feliciano on a continuous loop for 72 hours straight then endure more than one play of either "Merry Christmas Everyone" or _anything_ by Cliff Richard. In fact, I'd treat it as a game: if I walk into a shop that's playing either Noddy's screaming or Cliff's crooning, the poor sod who has to endure that for a shift gets a free Vince Guaraldi CD. Christmas calls for Charlie Brown music.
My favourite programme this. Required watching for every Xmas phobics out there including myself. Christmas starts so early now September in fact, that it has become ridiculous.The entire thing has become so commercialised now that any meaning it did have once has been lost. In fact its enormous conspiracy by the supermarkets and the capitalists out there, too get as much money out of us as possible by the 25th of December.Its supposed to about the birth of Christ not an excuse to see who can spend as much money as they can or show off their wealth, which in fact is what they are doing. I can't waite for dambed thing to end.
People complaining about how irritating christmas is have santas and christmas trees, snowmen and elves and flashing lights in their homes. Just treat the whole load of bollocks with the utter contempt it deserves and ignore it.
I hate christmas it is the only time of the year I drink to kill the pain and embassesment. The should have cruses which stay at sea over chistmas where it is forbidden to mention the word.
YES! I completely agree. I don't HAVE to like Christmas. It's my choice. Trying to force me to take part and to like it just makes it even worse and makes me dislike it even more. I have said so many things said in this to other people in my life about Christmas haha
I did not understand a word Ozzy Osbourne said :( but laughed out loud on the rest of the comments :) I don't know why I discovered this series only now. so good
+BeccaAgainstBoredom I have seen grumpy"" New year" years ago its still not on You Tube .One of the Questions was :Happy New Year?The problems you have this year are there again in the new year!!!(##%%$%!!fk!)No ffing Happy New Year!
I love these progs so funny. The christmas thing has got beyond a joke. I am a russian orthodox, not that I pratice! one thing I do is celebrate their christmas 8th of jan. no stress, hassle, a great time to have friends to dinner, they are all knackered and enjoy the relaxed time they have with me. Take the nearest weekend if it fits better.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one like this haha! Fuck i just try sleep for 3 days till it's over and mid January yoj start to feel abit normal again its mind washing
I live on my own in the country with my dogs,I have always thought of putting a large notice on my front door stating...........hi all,I have got the most virulant,most toxic form of flue known to man,I am in quarantine,but please feel free come in.
I'm sorry but I'm a humbug. I'm a man in his 40s, and to me Christmas Day is just a normal day. A complete waste of time and money to buy cards, presents etc. I'm afraid it's for children, not for adults, I'm sorry but it's true.
Christmas has good and bad points like a time of getting with friends and family But there is some Christmas songs that make me cringe Then. It's fact Christmas countdown starts around late november
Xmas pudding is the best , I soak it along with fruitcake in rum , whiskey and vodka . Brussel Sprouts are fantastic , my old gal prepares , Brussel Sprouts in cream dill sauce or with a honey mustard glaze .
Don't get me wrong I like Christmas it's just so loud and at one point there was Christmas Day now it's Christmas Few Months. By the time it's Christmas your tired of it.
People should just do what I do and buy a fake tree that you can keep in the loft the rest of the year. It will never die and you don't need to bother with buying a new one each year.
"Sod off,Christmas!" You said it,mate.
I remember one Xmas shopping in the supermarket I was really stressed out. Then cliff came on singing that just put me over the edge I screamed turn him off everyone just stared at me
I'd thrown myself under a bus
This program made me laugh out loud… And I’m so grateful that I am alone and can spend Christmas doing my own thing… And not being forced to be polite or sociable or eat anything associated with Christmas
Good for you, i f*****g detest it
I love Christmas, although I agree with the tipping and the non-stop Christmas songs in the stores and shops 😂😁
I absolutely agree about the cruelty of forcing shop assistants to listen to Christmas music from October through January. It was so bad that when they accidentally played a Wurzels song, my heart nearly grew three sizes. The Wurzels, for god's sake. I Am A Cider Drinker. That's what we call rock bottom.
I watch this to make me feel Christmassy
This is the most British thing I've ever seen.
Oh, man...thank God for this program. I was beginning to think I was the only one...However, my Christmases from now on won't be too bad, actually. You see, everyone is dead and now, it is just me and that is quite fine.
hoopenhanger Merry Christmas!
I loved this series. I work in a supermarket which is hard work can't enjoy it till i get home at 7.30pm on xmas eve.
3:50 "it comes and it comes and it comes," Oh, god, doesn't it just? Thank you Penny.
I am a proper grinch at Christmas I hate it Love this specially when Ozzy says “ it’s bollox “ Love him 🥰
You gotta love Ozzy Osbourne, he's says what he means
I'm a Grumpy & have always liked these series .So Thanks for sharing. . .
The camel part. I just almost died choking on my coffee. Thank you for that.
I blooming love Christmas pudding and buy more when it's reduced to have later
Geoffrey Palmer is the perfect narrator for this series. He already sounds gloomy reading his script. Jack Dee is another gloomy soul, but he would add a different gloominess
Geoffrey Palmer love him. Legend!
I adore Geoffrey Palmer and his grumpy persona.
The best part of Christmas is when it's finally over 6 days later :)
I love this series and good to see im not alone in loathing xnas
The best Christmas program ever this . There was onece a time when I used to watch this anytime of the year .
Yup. Christmas is fast approaching and it's time to give it another look.
Love this! I can so relate!
just eat beans on toast for Christmas Day Lunch !
Ya'll have nothing to complain about. In the Philippines the Christmas season starts in SEPTEMBER and ends in fucking FEBRUARY. I don't know why people bother to take the Christmas lights down anymore.
2019 bought my wife a chainsaw, my mates were astounded, but it has been the most used Xmas present since
i love these shows - literally laughing out loud lol

Yeah? Well London is full of Aussie backpackers strutting about in flip-flops and them dopey Cork hats.
I live in Canada , no thanks to a beach Christmas . Give me the snow filled Canadian Rocky Mountains , the horse drawn sleigh rides , chestnuts roasting over an open fire .It defines Christmas celebrations .

You should try having a Christmas birthday like I've got...
Everyone's pissed off with the stress of it all and I just age
without any celebration...
I will wish you happy birthday when it comes. Though, it will be my timezone though so it maybe late or early. Depebding on where you live. :-)
Happy Birthday to you :)
Happy birthday :-) ♡
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
I used to see my window cleaner once a year two weeks before Christmas and that's the truth!
I love Penny Smith. Straight talking, pretty, balls out, tells it how it is. Brilliant!

I prefer new years episode

Oh god, this is brilliant. I wish I'd known this was online about three months ago!
Whether you believe it or not, there are folk's who are truly and sincerely
enthusiastic about the Christmas holidays,
the psychiatric community.
No joke.
Way-back-when, we received Christmas cards that covered the livingroom walls. "Everyone Loves Us".
Last Christmas we recieved
Zero, null, 0, empty set.
I'm crushed. 🙂

The elf centre, i'm still laughing.

Tis The Season to be jolly....
"Sweating like a Geordie at a spelling test" 😂

Thank you so much for this
Cliff Richard songs should not be allowed at all, especially during christmas.
I hate him aswell - something about him that's not right when your age 34 or younger
I can completely
Agree
Will James I would sooner hear "Feliz Navidad" by Jose Feliciano on a continuous loop for 72 hours straight then endure more than one play of either "Merry Christmas Everyone" or _anything_ by Cliff Richard.

Ronni Ancona is gorgeous.
I f**king hate Christmas and people already have decorations up and it's not even December.Time off work is the only good thing about it
I SO love this one, :P
+Decibel Sandstedt

People should just do what I do and buy a fake tree that you can keep in the loft the rest of the year. It will never die and you don't need to bother with buying a new one each year.
Sure, Christmass the Brittish way
In Belgium it's more a family thing, not going out and getting drunk.
We tend to wait for that 'till newyears eve
Christmas tv is crap has been for year so call the midwife for me, otherwise it’s hospitals documentaries for me.
