I truly hate that song but I’m shocked more people didn’t say yes.

I also absolutely detest it, but I reduced my estimate because I though the word 'best' might force a few Nos from people who like it, unfortunately I went a bit too low.

I like the song but do not love it anymore, the same with Mariah Carey

I like that song @ShaneU (well, the original) ... that might explain why this is all going horribly wrong.

Jesus, that is truly horrific. I didn't think that song could get any worse. Shows what I know.

I really like the song, but there are others that I prefer, for example Springsteen's version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town. But of the two you'd have to say Fairytale is definitely the better song.

Isn't it romantic, going behind your best mate's back to tell his wife you love her, making every encounter you then have with them fecking awkward? No, you selfish gobshite, swallow that shit up and keep it to yourself if you've even an iota of respect for either of them. Prick

If I go high, it's low.
If I go low, it's high.
If I deliberately think it will be low or high and do the exact opposite I'm still wrong.
The most bewildering sheep ever.

Right, a nice easy question for you, as requested! Present opening might be the most exciting time of Christmas day, but do you dive straight in, or bide your time?
#Advent Question 17:
Do you open Christmas presents before breakfast on Christmas Day*?
What percentage of players do you think will say yes?
*I know some of our continental friends may open them on Christmas Eve, I think that's a yes!
PMs to me before this evening, reveal about 9
17-12-2021, 12:10 PM
Guys, I'll not be able to close out my rapid slide to the bottom of the league table unfortunately. Thanks for having me though, if you're doing it again next year remember to pop into the Christmas forum on boards and give us a heads up, might get 1 or 2 more next year too.
Have a great Christmas everyone!
Cheers,

However, it was a clear majority as 73.3% (22/30) said yes, presents before breakfast...

Of course this would be the one y'all (bar 8) answer yes to... I should have figured FOGers have no patience from other threads here
17-12-2021, 10:35 PM
I would definitely be in the breakfast first camp - a man's gotta eat!
But also, I have real anxiety about presents. I'm not great at buying them, I don't think, so I'm always nervous about people opening mine. More importantly though, I don't really like receiving presents! I'm one of those people that wants very little and I buy whatever I want, so I'm a nightmare to buy for, meaning I'm often not too pushed about what I get and feel I have to fake happy responses, which I'm crap at!
Of course, that's only true for adult presents, I do love seeing the kids open their presents straight away in the morning, I'm not a total grinch
