Hello! We're back, people. Welcome to a brand new episode of Mums the Word. I'm George John.
And I'm Kelsey Parker. And today we bring you our Moms the Word. Christmas special.
As well as a Christmas inspired, we listen and we don't judge.
So grab a copper, get comfy.
And let's jump into a brand new episode of Mums the Word.
Are we serious?
It's definitely the end of the year because we're just like doing what we want.
We've had enough.
We don't care any more.
It's Christmas, I'm saying whatever line I want.
Yeah, I'm George, it's not your line.
Yeah, you say what you want, Kels.
I was really hoping you're going to open with a Christmas song, but you didn't do it.
It's there, been to Christmas.
What one do you want?
I'd like Mariah Carey.
All I want for Christmas is you.
I feel like I'm really good at the adlibs behind.
Anna!
Oh dear. I've had two paracetamil and I don't know what's going on.
I've got a cold. I've got my Christmas cold. So sorry for anyone.
It's because you're overworked. You look overworked. I'm overworked.
She's overworked. She's overpaid. She's tired.
Oh. She's had enough. She's been a lot. She's over it.
Danny's back from Australia now, though.
Oh, is he? How did he get on back in Oz?
What did he actually go for? Just two weeks? Do they, how?
Not even two weeks? Nine days? He went for.
It's a lot, isn't it? It's a lot. It's a lot. It's a lot.
But, I mean, he played a lot of golf, got a bit of sunshine.
And, yeah, had a nice time.
And she was on her own, doing the school pickup, doing whatever.
Let's moan about him again.
Yeah.
I'm sick of it.
He's off to San Diego soon as well.
Why?
Motorbike.
I knew you was going to say that.
He just needs to, like, book me a holiday.
Book you a holiday.
I saw a clip of this before going about the hobbies.
Get you a hobby.
Why don't you just go like motorbiking?
Yeah, is it motorbiking?
What's it called us?
Motorcycling.
Is it?
I don't know.
Because he's like,
he does like the Harley Davidson's big.
Oh, no.
I mean, that will be unreal though.
That's like a trip.
You might get your levers on
and get on the back of his life.
I think I'm all right, actually.
Well, you wouldn't want to do that.
No, they're very dangerous.
True.
They're very dangerous.
Just not,
we don't want to risk my life, really.
Not this close to Christmas.
So what are you doing for Christmas?
Where are you?
Everyone comes to my house for Christmas.
Do they?
Do they?
Is that every year?
We're a bit like, we go away on Boxing Day.
So Christmas is going to be like a bit of a minor for us Christmas Day.
But obviously the kids are going to love it and have all their gifts from above Christmas.
Yeah.
But yeah, the next day we're like basically going to be packed and we're going to France.
Oh, nice.
What?
Who?
We're going skiing.
Are you?
Can you ski?
I've never skied.
I don't really want to ski.
Oh, God.
However, we'll love skiing.
Oh.
It's so funny because I was talking to.
a fellow friend of it. I was Georgia
who does. Made by mammas.
I was speaking to her the other day. I was going to say who the hell
do you know called Georgia? How do you? I was thinking to
different Georgia and I was saying to her like she said to me
I feel like you're destined to ski because Tom was
really good at skiing and then like Will's
come into my life and he's like we need to go skiing
I've skied since I was like a baby he was on the slope
like they've got a house in Chatelle where we're going to
so he wants the kids skiing he's like full on so
I mean it's easier for a kid.
kid to ski. Have you stayed? Yeah, I got stuck up a mountain curls. Right,
don't tell me that. Are you actually any good? No, not really. I mean, I had to be rescued by
a snowmobile or a scooter or whatever you call them. Why? Because what happened? You just got stuck
up a mountain. I couldn't see anything. No, basically, we got the last ski lift up, right? And we
accidentally got onto the black run, which is the hardest one. I'm a novice. I can't,
I, I, I, did you go with? Me and Danny, right?
Can he ski? He can snowboard.
Of course he can ski. But obviously he was with me and, you know, I was dragging him, dragging the man down.
And we could not get down this black run because obviously it was like a sheer drop.
And the ski lift closed. And no one else came after us. We were just stuck up this mountain on our own.
So how did you call him?
Well, out of no, right. So Danny had his phone and we'd, by this point, we'd taken our skis off.
We were trying to get down this bloody mountain
I was crying
Oh course you were crying
Yeah but I thought it was going to die
The tears were getting frozen
Yeah they were
And Danny was like right
I'm going to try and ring the hotel
He got his phone out
I didn't have my phone on me
Got his phone out
His battery died
And it was like
No
Yeah
And you know what
What then happened
Danny started crying
Stop
Yeah because we were really scared
And it was getting dark
And it was snowing
Anyway out of nowhere
we saw these skiers at the very top of the mountain.
We were like, help!
Waving our skis in the air.
Waving our skis in the air.
Anyway, they eventually got to us
and me and Danny sobbing.
We're like, we're stuck.
Anyway, luckily they were ski instructors.
So this one woman, I held on to her and she skied me.
She skied backwards down this black run.
And you felt like a right full.
Right plonker.
They gave us...
Oh, I would hate that, though, don't.
They gave us a shot.
God knows what it was, but we didn't care.
Like, you took a shot from a stranger?
Yes, yes, I did.
I was like...
It's all coming out on the pod!
And then they took us to, like, there was a, you know, the bar halfway down.
They took us somewhere.
Yeah, took us somewhere.
They took us to a cave.
Imagine.
They took us like halfway down to, like, the bar.
And then we had to be rest, like...
I bet you then got drunk.
Absolutely smashed.
Yeah, I can imagine.
Absolutely smashed.
Jangers there with the wine.
And I, because, honestly, because I think that's...
I fared for my life.
I'm now going to get drunk.
When I say that's the closest to death, I think I've ever come.
I honestly thought I was going to die.
Yeah, but you wasn't meant to die there.
That's why someone came.
I wasn't meant to die on a mountain.
I wasn't.
But yeah.
So great.
So I have a nice time.
Have you been back since?
Would you go back skiing?
I don't know if I would.
I don't.
See, I'm more about the beach holiday.
Like, I just.
Me too.
Give me a beach any day.
I think the kids will love it and I want the kids to have the opportunity.
And I feel like, obviously, now I'm with William, that this is going to be
an ongoing thing so I just have to you know
I think my mum my auntie like let's just have lessons let's just do it
yeah I would strongly suggest would you have lessons before you go
we've not got enough time not go enough time
I was looking at dry slopes but I'm like just know we just go out let's just
go and have the lessons there yeah and then be like oh I tried it
well you can have the lessons with the kids can't you yeah they're off to ski school
are they yeah and then we can take them off and do whatever with them but he's
really good so it's just annoying being with someone that's
good and you're not if all else fails apric skin yeah that's it honey that's all you need to sit sit
so yeah christmas for us is more about the new year yeah and celebrating with family i mean we've got
a lovely chalet that we've got we're all staying there how many of you we're going i think there's
like 14 of us oh my god loads of yeah even my nans coming oh we can we get everyone's slakes
i'm joking yeah um but yeah so my brothers have been like wanting to go as well they're like
mom we want to go skiing we want to go skin so they're in the element
all the men and family basically are in the element
the women are like all right here we go
but we've got a hot tub so I'm just thinking
I'm just going to enjoy the hot tub moments oh well you
and also I think it's good for the children
and I think it's going to be interesting with
Ray and Beau to because
Bodie will be doing a risk assessment
won't he he's been looking and all that slopes a bit steep
whereas Ray is just you know she's just down it
she's like yeah I'm going to do it
yeah it's got to be so Christmasy
as well won't it? So it'll be really
lovely for them yeah and like
proper snow yeah proper snow at Christmas that'd be so nice we're um what are you doing
where are you going mum and dad's going to mum and dads and then back to hours and danny's family
are coming to our house from boxing day onwards so a bit of both a bit of both we always spend
every year travelling around the country I think because I think it's I'm going to Bolton
next Friday are you yeah to see to see Tom's family to see Tom's family to see
Noreen, C. Nige.
So that would be really lovely.
We've got, well, actually I said to Noreen, she's like, oh, should we do this?
I was like, I just really want to chill.
Oh, yeah.
I was like, I feel like the year we've had.
Yeah.
Like, let's all just chill.
Yeah.
I think that would be, that'll be nice.
I just want to chill.
I'm just so ready.
Last year I was on my knees when it got to Christmas Day, because I've moved out,
I had been in Australia.
I was jet lagged.
And I was in pieces.
So this year, I really want to be able to just like, actually.
Would you ever go away for Christmas?
Have you been away for Christmas?
No, I don't think I have.
I would if all my family were with me.
But like there's, I, one of my non-negotiables is like seeing my family every Christmas.
I can't bear not being with them.
So you don't do to take it in terms?
Well, we do. Well, we kind of do, but Danny's family are quite chilled.
I mean, my family are chilled.
I think it's me that isn't.
And I'm like, I just want to be with my mother, dad.
I'm on board.
I like, always want to be with my family.
Christmas.
And I think for me, I've always been like, oh, it's like my brothers, it's my brothers.
And now it's like, my brothers are like 21 this year, like 21 and 19.
Oh my God.
It's like, I can't really make it about them anymore.
But I just think I just love being with my family.
Yeah, I do.
And I think that's okay.
Do you do the Christmas dinner on your own or does anyone want people help you?
Everyone brings something.
Right, do they?
So like ready done though?
Like say if they're doing the potatoes or will they do?
just bring them and do it all at yours.
Oh, potatoes.
I feel like they're going to be done at my house.
But other stuff.
Like cheese and things like that.
No, so like say my auntie will do,
and maybe like own the veg.
Oh, I got you.
Got you.
Got you.
So mum will do the turkey.
Yeah, yeah.
I'll do all the extras because that's like my favourite part,
the stuffing, the pigs in blanket.
Oh, pig in black.
Have you ever had one of the ones?
Collar flour cheese.
Oh, do you have a cauliflower cheese with your Christmas dinner?
I don't really know what we have here.
I feel like a cauliflower cheese.
Hell not, eh?
Yeah.
I feel like everything, just get it all on.
Have you ever tried those pigs in blankets that are cheese wrapped in bacon?
Oh my mouth just started watering when I said that.
No, I've not.
Oh, they're so good.
Are they?
Yeah, get yourself some of them.
I'm going to throw this out there.
I would rather have a chicken than a turkey, but...
I'm with you.
Or even a nice bit of steak.
Oh, a Wellington.
Yeah, oh.
Yeah, I'm a bit over the Christmas dinner.
And we are having a turkey.
Mom's ordered one.
But, yeah, I could give our take the turkey.
No, and I feel like my mum gets just the breast.
Oh, the crown.
Yeah, the crown.
Right, yeah.
But my mum does that turkey all year round.
Oh, does she?
Well, because my brother's, here we go, I'm talking about the body and the max.
Yeah, they're on like the carnivore diet.
So they get through a lot of meat.
So she'll buy a turkey, cook it up, and then they'll eat it during the week.
Right, because turkey's like really lean, isn't it?
So they do have turkey all year round.
So I feel like she's not going to be one of them things
It's like oh my God how long you're cooking the circuit for she's doing it she knows what she's doing she's doing it weekly
Do you ever find right? I was fine because you can cook a roast dinner no problem and when it comes to a Christmas dinner
For some reason it's like a military mission I don't know why because it's just so much pressure isn't it
It's just the whole pressure of Christmas it's the maths for me
Yeah
It's the maths of working out what needs to go in at what temperature
I've been watching on TikTok like people preparing so like get preparing oh you're not doing it for you know we're helping mum though
You will just get preparing stuff.
You can't really take it up there, can you?
No, no, I can't really.
But I'm going to, I might do, I might buy.
Oh, you could?
Well, I could.
You could prepare it now.
I mean, I could.
And then just freeze it.
Oh, no, could you take it up there now?
No, because we're going on the 20th.
Bad idea, bad idea.
I won't do it.
However, we are going on the 20th.
So I can't I?
That's what I'll do.
And you'll get to see all your friends.
How lovely?
Yeah, I'll get to see all the home girls.
I hope he was going to say something.
Oh
Oh, the hose
Oh, the hose
Oh, the hose, I'm up
No, it's a joke
No, they're not hoops
They're really nice girls actually
Oh, oh dear
No, no horse
No boats
We've lost the plot
We've gone wild
Dom's like, oh for God's sake
These girls
So, right
So you're your host in
And that'll be lovely.
What do Aurelia and Bodie want for Christmas?
They want V-Tech cameras.
Oh, okay, yeah, yeah.
He wants loads of poor patrol.
Ray wants loom bands.
Oh, does she?
She's a doer.
There's no point getting her toys.
It's just a waste.
It is literally a waste.
If she can create something, can do, yes.
Great.
He plays with his toys.
So I will spend all the money on toys for him because it's worth it.
and I can see the pleasure that he gets out of it,
whereas with her, she had a Barbie dream house.
I've actually given it away because it's like...
I'm bothered.
She's not bothered by it.
Do you know what I mean to do every year?
Go through Cooper's Toys.
I think I did it last year.
What and chuck out?
And take them to the charity shop
because everyone goes to the charity shop
to buy like stuff, don't they?
But I haven't done it yet this year.
Their school did so you could give in to the school
and then we just had their Christmas fair
and then you could win other, like obviously stuff that people had given in.
Yeah.
It's a good idea.
Yeah.
You know,
where's not a lot like else.
Yeah.
It's charitable.
Anyway, I save it all in the garage.
No, do you know what?
I actually do that and like they did,
we had the K-to-K gala.
They did the Christmas gala and they did so well,
like Bodey,
this is the best he's ever performed.
What's the Christmas gala?
So they do like a Christmas show
and we do at a hotel and they get up and they do like,
they do like their numbers that they've been working on.
Yeah.
They were in a lot because obviously my kids are there all day.
on a Saturday they absolutely love it but he did so well and I was like you can get a present
tomorrow but I saved their presents so it's presents that they've actually got during the year
and I just give them one of them that's a good idea and they're so happy that's a really good
idea so they're like oh what we can get a present I'm like yeah we can go into the garage and we
can get a present but it's a present they've already been given I use that one are you doing you're
doing the elf aren't you on the shelf no no way I'm never starting that you're
didn't.
No.
And also,
I just think it's so,
why don't it's so much pressure on...
Oh my God,
tell me about it.
Like everyone's like,
oh, bar humbag over here.
But I think it's so much pressure
on the parents.
Yeah.
And also,
I just think it's like a lot for the kids.
Like, how much can they actually be like Christmas,
Christmas?
And then we all wonder
why their behaviour gets so bad
towards Christmas.
But all you're actually going on about
every single day is Christmas.
I know, yeah.
My elf don't do a great deal.
It just moves around from Shell.
Why did you even start it?
I don't know.
Peer pressure, Kelsey, wasn't it?
Peer pressure, I'm just not.
Everyone was doing it, so I felt like I really should do it.
And also, I thought it might be a bit of a bargaining tool, which it kind of is still.
Like, if he does something, I'm like, she's listening, you know, our elsa girl called Cindy.
And I'm like, she's...
Cindy Lou Hill.
I know.
Cooper named her.
I bet he was after that.
I don't think it was because I think he'd seen the grin.
Oh, you watched elf for the first time.
It's nice when they get older when they watch the fish of us.
Yeah, he loved it.
I was like, this is brilliant.
See, that's what I'm.
about the Christmas films, the Christmas spirit, the Christmas love. Do you do matching PJs?
The kids get the matching PJs. Why did you look really weird? Because I was like, do we do
the matching PJs? I don't think I'll be able to get Will in matching PJs. Yeah, no, I think Danny would
be keen. Like, there's just no way. What made me think is like Kelsey Dean went to the Polar
Express and they were wore matching pyjamas, but there's no way on this earth that Will would be
doing that. No. I'd wear them with coops. Well, I've actually got some. He had to get involved
some content the other day.
Who did?
Will and he was hating life.
He was literally like, I actually hate you and he always goes like, this is like one,
one and done.
And I'm like, but you need to be in it.
Like it gives the Christmas cheer and the festive for what we needed to shoot.
Yeah, yeah, family.
Yeah.
He was like, I actually just hate you.
Absolutely living.
Little did he know when he met you.
Yeah, I know.
He's like, what did I sign up for?
Yeah.
What did I do this?
Why did I agree to this relationship?
Like someone who hates it.
Because I'm like, just get an Instagram account.
Just get an Instagram account.
It's like, I'm not doing it.
Has it still not got one?
No.
Guys, that's my new year.
I'm like, do it?
Sure we?
People be interested.
Yeah.
And what he's doing?
He's like, but I don't do anything.
I'm like, you do lots with me.
Have you got your tree up?
Yes, the tree is up.
Oh, I did mine two days ago.
Why, did you not want me to have my tree up?
No, no, not.
You wanted me to be really bad.
No, have you got all your Christmas shopping done that?
I bet you have, haven't you?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I've done.
I'm done
This is where I don't want to talk to you
Because I, do you know
I haven't done any
Get yourself to be in them bargains
That's what I did
Be in M bargains
Oh my God, it was amazing
Was it?
Yeah, two for 20 pounds
What, two what for 20 pounds?
Like presents
Two presents for 20 quits
I'm not here
Just two for 20 quills
To get up for 20 pounds
On the shelf's like two for 20 pounds
It's great
Get yourself to be in their bargains
It had all the stuff that I wanted as well
Well I'm just not
I hope the kids aren't watching this.
The kids can never watch this.
No.
I nearly said what I was going to get Danny that.
Me and Danny are really doing presents this year
because we've renovated the house.
Treat yourself to that.
And also there has to be a line to what you can actually evolve.
And it's just extreme.
And the kids get stuff all year round.
Like I treat myself like when I want something.
Like I don't need something for Christmas.
I just want to be after the year I've had as well.
I just want to be with my family and just have love and happiness really.
Yeah.
and yeah exactly exactly like let's strip it back let's strip christmas back because i've seen a game
i've seen a game it looks really good it's a card game and on it is like things like oh i can't
think of an example now it's going to drive me up the wall but it's like it's like good story
how many times did did brittany spares hit me what say hit me go on what's the answer
what's the answer none she's not hit me she hit me baby one more time
Oh, so it's like, yeah, so it's like that.
She didn't, I was like, there's got to be a...
Guys, the game is really good.
Yeah, it sounds so good, we want to get that game.
Thanks, George, good.
Listen, I'm ill.
Anyway, should I tell you something?
Yeah.
I cried when I met Father Christmas the other day.
Are you?
No, I just...
You don't cry, though.
I don't cry, but I don't know why.
Kel's Father Christmas, okay, so I know the best Father Christmas.
He is, he's actually, he's basically,
real. He has this feeling and he has this. He's gone woo-woo-woo on is done. He honestly, if I
showed him, George, you'll be like, wow. So I went to Claridge's for a festive party with
Space NK. Yeah. I saw that. It looks fabulous. And he just, he was like, how's your year been?
He's all right? Not very good, actually.
It's been really, really, really, I get this out now. I just got really overwhelmed.
Oh my God.
Kells, do you not remember last year I cried at Santa?
Yeah.
When we were together.
You and me.
There's something, I don't know.
Like, it's just, they bring emotion.
Yeah.
And I was like, it's been, and then I stood with my friend, Lily, and she was like,
she could see that I was like, welling up.
And I was like, it's just been a really hard year for me, Santa.
And then was like, this was not in my job description.
No, he didn't know what to say.
And he was like, I really hope next year's better for you.
And, yeah, and he just like, oh.
Did you sit on his knee?
No, he just hugged me
and I was like,
why am I getting emotional
with Five of Christmas?
But like, there's some magic in it
but also he does actually look
like the real Five of Christmas
is here.
Kelsey's phone's going off Don, by the way.
I'm so popular.
I'm going to dobb her in.
I'm so popular.
Guys, if you can hear someone's phone vibrating
and it's the unprofessional one self,
is it?
Is it my phone?
Oh, wow.
She's gone there, is she?
Kelsey's gone.
You know when we talk about hers
before?
Like her.
But I said to him
He lost a tooth yesterday
So I decided that Cindy the elf
Would be the one that brought him money
But what
Yeah
And it was great thinking
Until I forgot to remove the tooth
Because basically I brought Cindy up
Put her on Cooper's bedside table
With a shot glass
With a pound in a shot glass
As you do
And I was like
Oh well done
That's a good one
I've really
And then I forgot to take the tooth.
So, I mean, I was like, oh, I don't know what she, she...
Does he think the tooth fair is tight with a pound?
I went, yeah, no, what? No. What do you give me?
No, no, I agree with you.
Aurelia said that her tooth fair is tight, that she doesn't get notes.
Are you joking me? That girl, that girl doesn't know she's gone.
People, no, because I reckon she's listening to people at school and they're getting notes.
Give their kids more than a pound.
When she lost their first tooth, we gave a two pound coin, which was like,
a specialty.
I think we did.
I think with these,
or maybe...
No, so, it's like,
what, you can go again,
you can go one forever.
Oh my God.
How many teeth do you have?
Here we go.
I'm just trying to do the maps.
Quiz time.
I think it's like 28 isn't or something.
But imagine,
I've just completely made that up.
She has just made that up.
I just love it when she just made stuff up.
If you did a fiver per tooth...
It was ridiculous.
528, I don't know.
It's a lot of money, isn't it?
don't get me started on maths, I can't do it
Cooper came on with division the other day
and it just about sent me over the edge
I'm not doing it, get the tutor
I did, I said I'm not doing it actually Cooper
I can't, I actually can't watch it out
I can't do the maths
I can't do it so no
well I feel like we've like really
gone round
gone to the toothberry
We've got our special Christmas edition
If we listen and we don't judge
Who?
Do you want to start?
You got to start?
I told my daughter that elves weren't coming back this year.
Right.
Is that so she didn't have to do the elf on the shelf anymore?
She's like, right, they're not coming.
That's what you need to do, George.
Well, I think there's got to be an age, hasn't there?
Where you go, though, when you reach this age,
the elf doesn't need to come and check on you anymore for some reason.
I mean, I don't hate it, right?
It's just when you forget.
Oh, it just seems like a lot of effort.
It is a lot of effort.
I got up at 3 o'clock in the morning the other morning.
What to do it?
Yeah, I would, I mean, I would have just forgotten, but Cooper woke up to go for a wee, and it woke me up.
And when I woke up, I was like, shit, I've not moved the friggin' hell.
So then I had to run downstairs, three in the morning, and try and work out something creative.
But could you get back to sleep after that?
Yeah, I could actually. I don't know that you know, I'm tired.
Yeah.
But I see, I'd be like that, awake in the bed, then thinking about thoughts.
Thinking about thoughts.
That can sue me that don't need to.
I accidentally dropped that damn elf
from the top of the fireplace
into the fire and all the kids in the room
cries.
What you said then?
The elf died.
Oh no, what a shame.
That's actually quite traumatic I think.
That is traumatic.
Especially if the kids are only little.
I did see actually someone post something on Instagram
and it was like where they'd put the elf on like a light,
like a ceiling light.
And the elf's face had just,
melted into the bulb like all around it I mean quite dangerous actually
hazard that's why I'm not done it can I just say to everyone I got electric
shot before and Kelsey didn't even bat an eyelid I had to um let's tell her again
she's like Kelsey I don't even know but I got electrician I'm like Georgia
she said she's been electrocuted about 20 times in the last week
got electrocuted with that happened to me done it and I'm like be brave
be brave my friend if your arm was hanging off I would give you
sympathy oh thank you we know that i've not that sympathetic i'm not a sympathetic person not that
sympathetic are you here are you alive yes are you doing the podcast yeah so that's it that's it
that's all i told her i had a cold shouldn't even didn't even like yet

Okay, I'll bring you crystals
and I will bring you a homeopathy kit
and then you can do that
and then you can message me
when anything is going wrong
and I will say this is what you need to take.
Okay, all right.
This is the remedy you need, my friend.
That's my Christmas present.
Just try it, just give it a go.
Just try it.
What's to lose?
Go on, what's the next one, girls?
Hiding little presents,
forgetting about them until after Christmas
until I find them in my dream.
Oh, fair, fair.
Do you know, Danny's mum,
every year
sends the presents
ahead of time
to our house
and every year
I say to Danny
we're going to lose
them
we're going to lose
those presents
and what have we done
lost the presents
already
and it's a big box
not a bloody clue
where it is
not a clue
so
moral story
don't send
presents
just bring them down
with you
so if you're listening
Kathy Jones
stupid idea
don't do it
no and also
I think that's a lot
of pressure
that's like pressure
on you. Yeah, well it's just
because I would lose them. Yeah, and as well
because we're doing a house renovation. It's just like
silly time to have
all the people's stuff there.
I forgot to move the elf for
three nights in a row.
So it's all the kids he had food poisoning.
I think it's just all the actual, it's
just Christmas is about lying in, isn't it?
It's all based on lies
and that is why I do not do it.
I am a true
seeker, truthful person
and I will not do it.
Yeah, I've definitely said, I've definitely said the elves got stuck in, in traffic before, or the weather was too bad, so she didn't make it.
Did Cuba do a Christmas nativity?
No.
Oh, no.
Oh, wow, aggressive.
No!
No, no, I'm really confused. I think they've got a Christmas concert, but there's no nativity this year.
I do think they get to a certain year and they don't do it.
Oh, do they?
Like year. Is you here in your three?
Yeah, because I went, what are you in the Christmas nativity this year?
He was like, what Christmas nativity?
He was like, oh.
Yeah, I think they do a Christmas car concert.
Bodie was the innkeeper.
Was he?
What a great role?
Oh, he was so happy as well and so proud of himself.
Oh, he was just so lovely and so cute.
Angel Gabriel.
Of course.
The thing is with Aralya, she's so funny because she doesn't tell me anything.
So she had a solo.
She had a singing solo.
Didn't tell me.
So I rock up and she's like, got the microphone and doing a solo.
And everyone came up to me afterwards and I'm like,
Aralia was so good.
She was so good.
And I was like, but when she stood there,
I was like, she is the definition of ADHD.
Because she can't stand still.
Even when she had to go over and like do this starvation.
Yeah, but Todd was like that, wasn't it?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I'm very much like that.
Even when I'm sitting watching, I'm like,
so she had to do this star thing.
Every time she went back to her place,
she put her hands down on the bench
and did a cartwheel over it.
Everyone kept coming up to me like,
she is just so funny.
I'm like, she actually is.
Oh my God.
So I had the innkeeper and angel Gabriel.
Look at you.
Back to listening, we don't judge.
Go on, you do the last one.
I told the kids we'd run out of Christmas lights
when really I couldn't face untangling them again.
Wrap around a bit of cardboard.
Ooh.
Yeah.
Well, for outdoor lights or indoor lights or all lights.
Do you do outdoor lights?
No, we don't actually.
Yeah, maybe we should, yeah.
I don't have the time.
Not the energy.
I can't imagine Danny getting up and putting them up, either.
I'm saying that, it's quite a DIYer, his old Danny Jones.
Well, get some outdoor lights.
No, we need to buy some.
