WISHING YOU A HAPPY AND HOLY CHRISTMAS

JUST LOVE THIS DEPICTION OF CHRISTMAS ON TYNESIDE

I posted this on the TES website prior to Christmas 2020. It was met with derision from many TESSERS.  Nevertheless, I love this wholesome glimpse of Christmas at Chez Detters. 

I RATE IT UP THERE WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF CHRISTMAS BY DICKENS, LAURIE LEE et al.

(It was sent to me by Detterling  on Christmas Day 2018)

Chez Detters set up for Christmas

CHRISTMAS 2018 


Saturday, a warm and hilarious family gathering with mother-in-law, brother-in-law and partner.

.....Sunday, daughters, husbands and grand-daughters convene at our house for a loud and happy afternoon culminating in acapella carol- singing round the piano which brought the neighbours round with requests for Silent Night and The Angel Gabriel, then all the family to Nine Lessons and Carols at our local church, where my son read a lesson with aplomb, understanding and relish.

.....yesterday, final preparations for the festival and in the evening, playing the organ at a carol service for an old friend whom I have known since she was six weeks old and who is now a vicar in the next parish but two.

.....and today, an early start with our son opening his presents, an afternoon with in-laws and nieces, and tonight Christmas dinner with the family, cooked by me and enjoyed by everyone.

    I WILL ALSO TELEPHONE FR NICHOLAS SCHOFIELD ON 01895 233193 AND EMAIL HIM AT uxbridge@rcdow.org.uk - AFTER THE YOUR LAST PIECE OF INSOLENT FILTH I PREPARED AN ANONYOUS EMAIL ADDRESS AND PRIMED MY MOBILE PHONE TO WITH-HOLD NUMBER ON ALL CALLS.

    IGNORE THIS WARNING AT YOUR PERIL, GENE.

    I WILL NOT HAVE MY FAMILY IN YOUR DIRTY, NASTY, RANCID MOUTH.

    GOT THAT?

    IF YOU WANT TO ENJOY YOUR CHRISTMAS, YOU SHOULD.

    Kiss! kiss!

    What a lily-livered, yellow-bellied bottlejob!

    1. You have always squealed like a stuck pig at the idea that your own carefully preserved anonymity might be breached. Fuck OFF, you hypocritical CUNT.

      Get these posts down NOW or else. I have no mercy left to show you.

  3. Don't do anything hasty Detters. Remember I have offered a truce. Take the path of peace.

    And by the way the proper translation of that gospel line is: Peace to men of God's will. Not good will to men. Not to men of good will.

  4. "Don't do anything hasty Detters."

    I am doing nothing hasty. I have been direct and plain.

    If this post, and the other one about my family is still visible at 1100 GMT tomorrow, your name in Uxbridge will be mud by 1300.

    If not, then not.

    AS FOR YOUR TRUCE, STUFF IT UP YOUR ARSE.

    END OF.
