Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:35 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.
Starting point is 00:00:52 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.
Starting point is 00:01:17 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.
Starting point is 00:01:37 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.
Starting point is 00:01:50 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?
Starting point is 00:02:01 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.
Starting point is 00:02:12 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.
Starting point is 00:02:23 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.
Starting point is 00:02:36 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?
Starting point is 00:02:50 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
Starting point is 00:03:01 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
Starting point is 00:03:21 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,
Starting point is 00:03:56 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
Starting point is 00:04:29 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
Starting point is 00:04:41 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
Starting point is 00:04:49 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!
Starting point is 00:05:02 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.
Starting point is 00:05:20 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.
Starting point is 00:05:31 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.
Starting point is 00:05:47 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.
Starting point is 00:05:56 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.
Starting point is 00:06:08 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.
Starting point is 00:06:18 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

Starting point is 00:07:37 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
Starting point is 00:07:53 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.
Starting point is 00:08:27 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.
Starting point is 00:08:39 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?
Starting point is 00:08:55 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.
Starting point is 00:09:17 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.
Starting point is 00:09:35 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?
Starting point is 00:09:52 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.
Starting point is 00:10:07 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.
Starting point is 00:10:17 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.
Starting point is 00:10:27 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...
Starting point is 00:10:43 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.
Starting point is 00:10:57 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.
Starting point is 00:11:13 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
Starting point is 00:11:40 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.
Starting point is 00:12:00 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.
Starting point is 00:12:11 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.
Starting point is 00:12:23 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
Starting point is 00:12:40 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
Starting point is 00:12:53 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.
Starting point is 00:13:09 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,
Starting point is 00:13:24 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?
Starting point is 00:13:37 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.
Starting point is 00:13:52 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?
Starting point is 00:14:02 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,
Starting point is 00:14:18 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
Starting point is 00:14:47 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.
Starting point is 00:14:58 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,
Starting point is 00:15:08 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.
Starting point is 00:15:19 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.
Starting point is 00:15:38 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.
Starting point is 00:15:50 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
Starting point is 00:16:17 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.
Starting point is 00:16:39 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.
Starting point is 00:16:48 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.
Starting point is 00:16:57 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.
Starting point is 00:17:08 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?

Starting point is 00:17:53 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.
Starting point is 00:18:08 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

Starting point is 00:19:02 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.
Starting point is 00:19:13 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.
Starting point is 00:19:51 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,
Starting point is 00:20:05 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
Starting point is 00:20:22 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.
Starting point is 00:20:31 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.
Starting point is 00:20:43 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
Starting point is 00:21:02 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
Starting point is 00:21:14 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...
Starting point is 00:21:26 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,
Starting point is 00:21:50 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.
Starting point is 00:21:58 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.
Starting point is 00:22:09 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
Starting point is 00:22:26 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
Starting point is 00:22:42 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?
Starting point is 00:22:56 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.
Starting point is 00:23:11 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.
Starting point is 00:23:37 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.
Starting point is 00:23:53 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,
Starting point is 00:24:12 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
Starting point is 00:24:41 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 offer me a tissue and you'll hear it because i've had some paracetamels yeah i know terrible it's just stupid does your head feel better you could have taken a little bit you could have done some belladonna or done well you didn't you've never brought me a crystal you've never brought me Okay, I'll bring you crystals
Starting point is 00:25:15 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.
Starting point is 00:25:28 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.
Starting point is 00:25:41 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
Starting point is 00:25:51 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
Starting point is 00:25:59 where it is not a clue so moral story don't send presents just bring them down with you
Starting point is 00:26:06 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
Starting point is 00:26:13 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.
Starting point is 00:26:29 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.
Starting point is 00:26:52 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?
Starting point is 00:27:05 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?
Starting point is 00:27:19 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.
Starting point is 00:27:33 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.
Starting point is 00:27:50 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.
Starting point is 00:28:02 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.
Starting point is 00:28:14 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.
Starting point is 00:28:30 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.
