Head At. We are doing Christmas traditions this episode.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Hello, good morning, and we've got our well, I've got
my Christmas jumper on you.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I told you to bring me a Christmas jumper and
you did. It's just John sena Christian editions.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
It's green, it's got snow fakes on it. It's John Cena. Man,
he's retired. How sad he's the last match.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Yeah, I did think about that, very sad.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
I'm trying to be actually emphathetic.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
It's emotional.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
It's emotional for some people. Anyway. I love your Christis.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Thank you, thank you, jingle Bell Rock. It's very festive.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I thought you were going to have, like you have
some interesting Christmas jumpers.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
My mum's house, we have two big tubs full of
just Christmas stuff, so jumpers, shorts, T shirt, that's what
I mean.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I'm shocked that I ended up with the John Cena one.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Well, technically I brought the John Cena one for myself
and you said you didn't have one, so I was
the conversation was said last week was we'll bring out
Christmas jumpers, So I assumed you'd bring mine from my birthday.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Your birthday. That one's long.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Gone, even Michael's one.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
No idea where that is?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
How funny was I leading up to that? Every message
I sent anyone about at PS, don't forget your Christmas jumper,
compulsory Christmas jumper. That was all I was saying to everyone.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
He got to celebrate Christmas twice this year, basically since
she made a Christmas in July.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
July finally did that. I always wanted to have one,
and I finally had one and it was actually good.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Well, maybe it should be a tradition. Speaking of your.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Tradition, today's episode where you're talking about your traditions and
mostly Christmas traditions.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Okay, first one I want to ask you is when
does the Christmas tree go up? When should it go up?
In your opinion?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Okay? The one that normally people say is December the.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
First, Right, I think December.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I now think November the first.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Because you want to have an extra month of Christmas.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yeah, So we changed at my mom's house to the
fourteenth of November. Have I told this story? No, it
changed to that date because when I did, when we
se November, Yeah, when we did, Love Island, right, going
back a couple of years ago, more than a couple yeah, right,
So this is when it started. This is funny. I
put down on you know who, you FaceTime family members.
(02:33):
Y Emma was too young to do it. She was
under fifteen or however old it was, so she couldn't
do it. To do what to be on TV? So
she couldn't be on the TV. So she was upset
about that. And my mom was like, to cheer you up.
We can put the Christmas decorations up. And that was
November the fourteenth, Bless your mom.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
That's so kid.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
So that date changed for a couple of years and
now it's November the first. So I come straight out
of spooky season. Halloween's done, put away the pumpkins, and
the tree goes up.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
What do you do for like the rest of the year,
Like when January first cups? Are you just like in
a miserable state since you don't have any holidays to celebrate.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
It's the start of the year, though, you know, it's
I don't know, it's.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
A nice feeling the start of the year. How good
does it feel?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, it's sort of. I sort of get excited for
the next true. The next year, well, the next twelve
months later, and I sort of get ready for that.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I do love like that feeling after Christmas is done,
after New Year is done, and then everyone's kind of
off work and it's warm outside.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Everyone's feeling really.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I love that you.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Just postponing the inevitable of going back to work.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
See, that's toxic. You need to live in the moment.
I'm not subscribing to that, especially not in twenty twenty six.
It's all about choosing happiness. Live in the moment. Otherwise
you just think about like all the negative things in coming.
You can't live like that.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
You can't. No, I just feel like it's just inevitable,
Like the week's going to end in your back at work,
the sun.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
All your friends are off work. It is more off work,
less pressure, less stress. I always end up like being
like where should we go, Like let's go down to
TALKI for a couple of nights, or you know, like just.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Like stuff's happening in January.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
No, coming tennis is in coming. Yeah, I love the tennis.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
It's gonna be fun.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I'm excited for that.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Exciting.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Okay, let's talk about our Christmas traditions. We said that
we were going to bring five, but I have so
much more than five. And obviously this is Swedes's first
Christmas this year. And I saw this TikTok where this
girl was talking about how you don't remember the presence
yet you remember the traditions you have with your family.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I remember some presents.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah, I remember some presents, like I remember getting a piano.
That was pretty exciting.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yeah, right, I remember getting a I remember getting a
dart board.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
That's exciting.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
No, I was too young for a dart board. We
never let my mom leave that one down.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
You couldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Well, No, it was just like I wanted wrestlers or
something instead, and I got a dart board.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I remember getting walkie talkies that was fun. Yeah, and
that's I think that's pretty much the only gifts I
remember getting. But you remember the tradition.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I remember like the trampoline, I remember like yep, I
reme in the cricket bat. I remember. Yeah, I remember
heaps of stuff. Okay, but I remember traditions as well
because you keep them going as adults.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
And don't they feel so nostalgic to you? And don't
they like get you so excited like, I know your
family does. Do you want to explain your Christmas Eve tradition?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Well, we do Christmas Eve at my mum's house. So
it's been like that for probably over ten years now,
because we just it was too hard trying to figure
out Christmas Day with like when my mum and dad
like separated, so it would be like Dad gets Christmas
Day with his parents and then we do Christmas Eve
with Mum, and then it came into like you know,
with the kids with us now we do Christmas Eve
(05:49):
without with their mom and then go do Christmas Day
with our partner's parents and that. So it's sort of
like being that sort of tradition, do you know what
I mean? So we always do Christmas Eve and it's
really nice go to my mum's. We have a roast meal.
I'll get into the other little traditions we do there
as well.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
But yeah, Christmas Eve, Yeah, that's like your exciting time.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah, and I feel like it peaks Chris, I've said
that on another sort of I don't feel that way
crushes down Christmas Day.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I mean, Christmas Day is a peak. I'm like living
my best life, I'm eating my best food, like.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
You never feel it on Christmas Day, more Christmas Eve.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Maybe you need more traditions on Christmas Day. Maybe you
know you have the tradition on Christmas Eve, that's when
it peaks for you. Maybe you need to do, like
have a thing that you do every year to make
you get that excited feeling in your bones.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
In my stomach, give my scuts. Do you have any
traditions that you keep going from when you're a kid.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
We do so obviously we're from the UK, so every
Christmas morning my parents go to the British butcher and
British food Shop or whatever it's called, and they get
a full British breakfast. So all of the food is
imported from the UK and it's like a big fry up.
It's huge. They have I don't know if you've heard
(07:07):
of potato SCons. We have a potato scon on the plate.
We have black pudding, which is British British bacon, like
I think it's Scottish bacon. We have square sausage, love
square sausage, just all of the British breakfast foods.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Basically, yeah, I want to come around over that.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
It's so good. We do it at like eight am
in the morning and then we won't eat and then
we'll have our Christmas lunch. So that's like I get
really excited about the breakfast. And because we're going to
Hamilton Island this year. My mum was like, oh, we
won't do it this year, and I was like, no,
we are.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Doing it in Hamilton Island.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
We're doing it in Hamilton Island. We need to go
to the butcher or the shop. We need to get
the food, we need to put it in an eski
and fly it to Hamilton Island because I'm not going with.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
That the last four years. I'm flying out Christmas morning.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, how's that?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
It's raf. I did Christmas Eve last year. Sorry, yeah,
but after dinner we went to the airport and made
it just in time to like put out the cookies
and watch the Grinch and all that. But yeah, it's raf. Hay.
The Christmas Morning was a rough fly.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah, absolutely, I feel like flying though. Wouldn't they be
more festive?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
You'd think so, But no, not really.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
No, maybe the air hostess is a bit shitty that
they're working. No.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
One year, I think they did something I can't remember.
They made it Christmas Eve. They give us candy canes
or something.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
So it just takes one person to be like full
of life and joy and happiness so they can really
spread that Christmas cheer.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah. I think they have like a Christmas like you know,
broach on like Christmas hat or something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
something like that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I want to spread Christmas cheer this December.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
That's what we're doing here on this episode.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
We're doing Okay, I have a few Christmas traditions that
I really want to do. The first one is, obviously
we are spending Swaye's first Christmas with my family and
then we're going to go to see Michael's family after.
But what I'm gonna do is, I'm going to wrap
Christmas pajamas for everyone who's going to be in Hamilton Island,
and I'm going to give everyone a gift on the
(09:14):
day of rival and we can all wear matching Christmas
pajamas the whole time we're there. I think it would
be so key. Swayede will be in them too, And
I think it's just like that thing where like you
wake up in the morning we're all in matching pajamas, Like.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
How cute will you do that? As well. It's a
tradition on Christmas. If we do it, we get a
photo with the matching pajamas. This year, we've photo shopped
a Christmas hat on to Dexter. So he's going to
be on the dogie on our I don't know which
one it is, but one of these is going to
be on all our Christmas stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Put them on our Facebook group.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
So cute, he's so cute. Yeah, so we're gonna all
be wearing matching stuff and we'll wake up and do that. Yeah,
but then those go into the tops. That's why there's
so many Christmas stuff because all the different Christmas like stuff.
So I start wearing Christmas pajamas from like, yeah, November
the first, yes, yeah, I love it. My other one
is on Christmas Eve dinner. I make Christmas cocktails. Yeah,
(10:14):
so yeah, so I do like the during the lead up,
I'll like get all the ingredients and I'll search different ones.
There's yeah, there's some nice ones there and there's some
real misses sometimes. But you know, I play bartender for
the day.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I've made a Christmas shot ones and it was like,
you know a little jelly shot that you make with
obviously was it red red and then you put like
you have done yeah the sound hats what's it called
whip cream? Whipped cream, and then you put like a
little red lolly on top and it looks like a
sound of hat. Yeah, And it was really fun and
it looked really cute.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I did that one year. Yeah. I like doing them.
They're fun. Also, I've touched on it. The other Christmas,
we buy real Christmas trees, so we have two real
ones in the house. Something my mum does randomly is
buis I saw advent calendar said randomly. She's been doing
it forever. She can doing it for yeah. On gives
it to all the kids and her son in laws
now and she buys us on Christmas Day like a
(11:09):
cabre stocking Christmas Lilly stocking. That's that's just a random
one that she does.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I like that, you know what. Going back to the
Christmas trees, I love having a real Christmas tree and
again talking about that nostalgic feeling, it smells like Christmas
to me.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Literally, I was talking to someone and they're like, when
I was getting the Christmas tree and I was chrying
about my day and they never had a real Christmas tree.
And she's like, what's the point And I was like,
the smell, Yeah, like what does it even smell like?
And Christmas was my answer. Christmas it smells like because
as soon as you walk in the house, someme as
you can smell it.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yeah, I do get it like it. We at my
at our house, like we obviously have a pretty small house.
We have like the little sparkly one, so it's not
a Christmas a real Christmas tree, but my parents do.
And every time I go to my parents, I'm like,
oh my god, it smells like it. And as soon
as we get a bigger house and we have somewhere
to put a real Christmas tree, one hundred percent because
(12:03):
I want way to be like this smells like Christmas.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
You can get scented sticks my mum puts around the
house as well. That's sort of give the Christmas smell.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
That's cute. And you can get scented candles. Yeah, very cute.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
My next one, I'll just my next one is I
start watching so from November the first, because I'm you know,
I'm huge movie buff, right and it's a big part
of my life. So from November first, I finish Halloween
movie if you guys would be outstanding at the amount
of movies I watch, like, you'd be flabbergasted, Like, seriously,
(12:39):
I don't think people realize how much we do.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
You talk about it a lot.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Yeah, I don't think people realize how many I actually watch. Right,
So from October the thirty first, stop Halloween ones. Then
November the first, November fourteenth, I watch snow vibed movies.
Snow vibes, so movies that are in the snow. Okay,
so they're.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Excited to York vibes.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yeah, no, sort of. They just have to have the
snow around. Or Christmas is in the movie, but it's
not the main character, so you've got your Diehard's a
perfect example. It is a Christmas movie, but it's that's
one Eye's white chart, End of Days. There's a whole
list of them. And then from November the fourteenth, I
go full Christmas movies. So have you ever watched a
(13:21):
Christmas Hallmark movie? Yes? How good are they?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Amazing?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Amazing, amazing? A little bit I struggled, is that like
Home Alone? No, It's like no, no, no, it's the
rom com ones. So it's like where this So there's
a give you an example, right, I couldn't give you
an example of a Hallmark one, because a Hallmark that's
made by Hallmark, you would never have stumbled across these
(13:45):
unless you're looking for them. But an example would be
you know the ones that Netflix do every year? Yes, yes, yeah,
you know how they have like Lindsay Lohan and they're
a bit cheesy, cheesy, Yeah, I love though. Yeah is
that a Hallmark move? So Hallmark makes them every year,
but then people make like their own versions of game. Yeah,
so that's that vibe, Like a girl goes back to
her family and like, there's the X that she broke
(14:07):
up with and left for the big towns there and
they click again, you know what I mean? Yeah? I
started well, I obviously I watched a lot of them
on my honeymoon. So when I started to watch them
this year, it was a bit rough at the start. Yeah,
but I got got back into him after a couple
or Christmas horrors. Now you're asking yourself that is such
a niche genre, right.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Yeah, I don't know any Christmas horror movies.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Nobody does, but it's funny enough.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
When are you watching them? From? Give us the.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
November the fourteenth it's definitely in December.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I thought that was Hallmark.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
No, it's both of them. So I start on those
full Christmas movies.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
You can't just do all the horror Christmas. You're like
going from like extreme terrifiedness to that is not even
a word, but like terror to like lovey dovey. Yes,
very interesting. I do light and shade.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah, light and shade. I'll probably do one of each night.
You're asking me, where do you find these Christmas horror movies?
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Matt?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Who the fuck? May some? Why are they even alive?
Why do you come across? You come acros? Well, a
dear friend of mine, Wolf introduced me to toub. To
Be is a streaming service, So anyone that wants to
watch a Christmas horror go onto tub It's free. Yeah,
and it has all these random movies on there, and
it has so many Christmas horrors.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
That's so interesting.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
We actually came into the studio today.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yeah, and there was a to be gift for us
gift with like popcorn and stuff, not sponsored.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
But not sponsored at all, but.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yeah, we appreciate the gift.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Thanks, and to Be has them, So go on there
and find your Christmas horror movies.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yep, there you go.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I can recommend some if you won't, message me and
I'll tell you that next on Santa Slays Unbelievable Bill
gold Yeah, that's there. All have like a porno Bill
Goldberg the wrestler play Santo wh he goes around killing people?
My god, Chef's kiss.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
You're so unique with your horror movies. I don't know
if I can ever get around it. But anyway, maybe
one day in my life I would just all of
a sudden turn to horror movie and be like, do
you know what what have I been missing out on?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Do you know what made me click that I liked them?
It was that it burns calories.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I'm not even engaging.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I watched one and I'm like, this is actually really entertaining.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I'm not going to put myself into fight or flight
to burn like three calories. Sorry, not anymore. Okay. Some
Christmas traditions that I want to do, yes, go okay.
Carol's by Candlelight every single year. Love it. I think
it's so cute, really gets you into the festive spirit.
(16:37):
They kind of do it at the start of December
as well.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
The local ones.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
The local one, yes, you know, every year, I will
say that one on Christmas Eve. I'm always like, oh,
I would love to go to that, But then I
don't know if I do actually want to go to that.
I think I like being on the couch it's Christmas
Eve watching it.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
I think that, Yeah, you know, we have it on
in the background when we have dinner, and I think
that is probably better than going than actually going.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I agree, it's you go to your local one.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Yeah, the local one that started December, I reckon. I've
been to plenty of there in my life and they're
they're great.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah, And I like sometimes go, sometimes don't. But like
now that Swayed is here and in the world every year,
like without fail, I want to go to that second
tradition that I want to do with the baby and
just with my life in general from now on. Starting
this year is baking chocolate chip cookies on Christmas Eve,
(17:32):
like in the morning, and I want the house to smell.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Do I plot twist your gingerbread?
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Yeah, but I think chocolate chip is so like sand
to eats chocolate chips.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Obviously, Emma cooks gingerbread on Christmas Eve.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
And does that smell ling?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
See, I think there's smell of chocolate chip cookies. I
want that for like, I want that for nostalgic feelings.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
And you're going to leave out the milk and cookies.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's not going to know what's going on,
but I will. I'll save every moment I was.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
I did that last year. I was the one who
had to eat them and like pour the milk out
because I don't drink milk, so I have to like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's cute.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah, it's very very cute. The next one is Santa photos.
Every year. We took some Santa photos this year, very cute.
Loved it, and I want to be able to have
like every single year, like the growth of Swede, and
I think it'll be nice.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
That's very cute.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Me getting older. I still don't have botox since like
being pregnant, so like maybe i'll look younger next year
when I have some botox.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
You look look, you look great, you look fine. I
love telling you look fine.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
The amount of time in my life Matt told me
I look fine. It's actually fancy.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Fine, fine, it looks fine.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
The next one is I and I've spoken to my
parents about this when we go to how Much Island.
I want to do Christmas wrapping on Christmas Eve, like,
because we're going to be in a house with the
whole family. I think it'll be nice to actually put
on some Christmas songs and rap presents altogether.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
How are you at rapping? So good? I did? Are
you really? I had Christmas Eve last year I was
rapping and I realized I'm no good at.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
That trash trash. So I used to work when I
was a Christmas casual at this shop called Raped, and
I was in charge of rapping all of the presents
so people would buy it.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Yeah right, they come to you guys to wrap him.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
And then they would come to me specifically. And the
woman who owned the shop, she was an older lady.
She was very strict on like my rapping. She's like,
oh look at that, do this, do this. So I
got so good at rapping, so now I'm my rapping
is a plaus I will say that.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Christmas rapping reminds me of love. Actually, when Alan Rickman's
buying the necklace and he's cheating on Emma Thompson.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
My god, that's such a sad moment.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
And he's got there, dude, For some reason, Alan Rickman's
face atual expressions remind me if your dat my dad.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Yeah, I've sent it to you every time. I don't know.
I just feel like it just reminds me of your
old man.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
That's so funny.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I don't know why I have to tell her.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Have you told her that?
Speaker 2 (20:10):
I don't know if I have, And it hasn't come up,
and hey, you wrong me, It hasn't. Yeah, not so much.
That more when he's in that role and he's sort
of like just says yeah, like that. Yeah. Maybe there
(20:32):
you go.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Wrapping on Christmas Eve with Christmas music in the background.
I think that's really cute. Gingerbread house making on friend Miss.
Me and my friends in recent years have started friend miss.
Love it so cute.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
When do you do friend miss?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
We're doing it on the fourteenth of December.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Yeah, right, Me and my mates decided a couple of
years ago we called pig Miss. We do it in.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
You want to be that out? Maybe?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Yeah, I have no words for you. Crue.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
We do it in between Christmas and New Year's because
we're like, it's way too hard to do it before Christmas,
so we all catch up.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
In the middle, in the middle. Can you even call
it pigmouths when Chrismas is over? I don't even know.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Well, yeah, I actually post about it and I put
it pig miss really yeah, Okay, just the boys hanging
out having a good time, drinking beers.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Why not? There's not much Christmas vibes about it, to
be fair, it's just Christmas boys meeting up. Well yeah
in the middle miss. Yeah, Well, we were thinking about
going to the cricket this year, the Ashes.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
And Michael normally does that every year. That's like his
thing with the boys. That will be away this year,
which is we get to do that. But it's such a.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Fun Yeah, that's what we're thinking.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Yeah, definitely, that's every gets up and about the cricket.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
I don't know why, because cricket's like watching paint dry, but.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
That's why they're there.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
You make your own enough, Okay, I'm not going to
do this for the whole of December. I know that
this is a thing, and I think you can probably
school me a bit on this, but I know that
elf on a shelf is a thing with kids.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Only because I got taught about it.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yeah, you know, you need to pass on your wisdom
to me. I think we've Me and Michael spoke about it.
We're going to do Elf on a shelf once, but
we're going to make it really good, and so it's
probably gonna be like probably move on quickly. But yeah,
I thought it would be cute and then to get
like a little photo with him with the elf on
a shelf. So Elf on a shelf, Yeah, please tell
(22:45):
me more.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I didn't realize that once you set it up, you
can't move it.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I didn't know that either, So it's there the whole day.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
But if the kids move it, they don't. They don't
because it's they know the rules.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
So the rules you're not you can't touch it.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
You can't touch it, yeah, because then they lose their magic,
so they have to leave it as well. And then
you move it at nighttime while they're asleep, and then
it's meant to be the elves moved right. So I
didn't know that, so I set up. I thought I'd
seen the funniest guy ever. I got Flower and made
him doing snow angels in the middle of the kitchen bench.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yeah, but it can't move all day, so everyone's cooking, cleaning,
trying to around these owls, doing snow angels and yeah,
I got a bit to go trouble for that, but
it's funny. Yeah. So there's all different kinds of things
you do Google and there's some funny ones.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Like I've seen the Pooh one. Yeah, and the ELF's
like sitting on the toilet. We only have one toil
in our house. I obviously the toiler can't be out
of service for the day, but I definitely want to
do like a really funny one. Yeah, And I feel
like if you're listening to this then you have kids,
like it would be a fun thing to do.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Yeah, I wanted to do one. I wanted to buy
a predatory. I don't worry about it. It's gonna go
with everyone's head. I was gonna get the Toweys with
a killed the alf and it's holding its head off
like so aggressive. Someone would have really appreciated that.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I know that that much.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
He would have loved it.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
And yeah, I think that's all of my traditions that
I want to do. That's actually quite a lot when
you think about it. It is a lot of things,
but it's all kind of spread out.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
So yeah, and the best thing. I love traditions. I think,
like you said, they're the things that kids, well, you
remember when you're older, like some of the stuff I remember.
I know a lot of people do one gift on
Christmas Eve. Okay, I started that with the next partner,
and but no, we just never really in my family.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Yeah, and there's obviously secret Santas, like would you do
a secret Santa with your friend? We'll definitely do that
with my friends at friend Then, no, we're not there
for secret No, you're there for the bit.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
I've done, like who played like naughty Santa?
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Or No, what's that?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
It's got a couple of names where you switch gifts
in that. Ah, have you not seen the episode of
the Office when they do it.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
No, I've seen something on that though.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Oh that's something we do as well. We'll have like
Christmas episodes of TV shows playing while we're cooking in
that episodes of like the Office of Friends playing in
the background while we cook on Christmas Eve. There you
go watch a movie as a family that night.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yeah. Well, look, I feel like Christmas is such a
beautiful time of the year. It's nice to connect with
your family, friends, treat people around you buy them some
nice gifts. I love gift giving and you do. Yeah.
I like making people feel.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Good and I'm not a gift giver or receiver. Yeah,
well it just makes you feel so uncomfortable both ways.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Weird that you like Christmas then, because.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
It's about time good.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
I love language.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Yeah, I think Christmas is about like all of the languages. Really,
it's like putting like acts of service. Acts of service.
You're like doing nice things for people, making, you know,
for me, like making suede childhood as good as I
can make here, or you know, doing little things for
my partner.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
I analyze this. She just figured out Christmas is all
love languages, one big day accumulated. But how nice is
I've never heard of that before, so that you heard
it here first.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
He said it, We said it if anyone else a
little quick one before we go. Do you know what
I'm buying Michael for Christmas?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
A fitbit GARMI thing GM is not going to call
garment garment a pram. You told me that, you told
me this.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Yeah, I'm buying him a running pram because Michael literally
loves running. Like it's when we had the baby, I
was like the one thing I want to do is
get my nails done. Having my nails done makes me
feel put together. He's like, I want to go for
a run. Yeah. He's like, I want to be able
to run with Swede in the pram. So I'm getting
him a running pram and he yeah, he really wants it,
(26:50):
Like he's so excited, so.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Drag minimal top.
Speaker 1 (26:53):

Like Michael's like so excited to get a pram for Christmas.
Some like loll it just how things have changed anyway.

my Christmas jumper on you.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I told you to bring me a Christmas jumper and
you did. It's just John sena Christian editions.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
It's green, it's got snow fakes on it. It's John Cena. Man,
he's retired. How sad he's the last match.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Yeah, I did think about that, very sad.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
I'm trying to be actually emphathetic.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
It's emotional.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
It's emotional for some people. Anyway. I love your Christis.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Thank you, thank you, jingle Bell Rock. It's very festive.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I thought you were going to have, like you have
some interesting Christmas jumpers.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
My mum's house, we have two big tubs full of
just Christmas stuff, so jumpers, shorts, T shirt, that's what
I mean.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I'm shocked that I ended up with the John Cena one.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Well, technically I brought the John Cena one for myself
and you said you didn't have one, so I was
the conversation was said last week was we'll bring out
Christmas jumpers, So I assumed you'd bring mine from my birthday.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Your birthday. That one's long.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Gone, even Michael's one.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
No idea where that is?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
How funny was I leading up to that? Every message
I sent anyone about at PS, don't forget your Christmas jumper,
compulsory Christmas jumper. That was all I was saying to everyone.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
He got to celebrate Christmas twice this year, basically since
she made a Christmas in July.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
July finally did that. I always wanted to have one,
and I finally had one and it was actually good.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Well, maybe it should be a tradition. Speaking of your.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Tradition, today's episode where you're talking about your traditions and
mostly Christmas traditions.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Okay, first one I want to ask you is when
does the Christmas tree go up? When should it go up?
In your opinion?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Okay? The one that normally people say is December the.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
First, Right, I think December.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I now think November the first.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Because you want to have an extra month of Christmas.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yeah, So we changed at my mom's house to the
fourteenth of November. Have I told this story? No, it
changed to that date because when I did, when we
se November, Yeah, when we did, Love Island, right, going
back a couple of years ago, more than a couple yeah, right,
So this is when it started. This is funny. I
put down on you know who, you FaceTime family members.
(02:33):
Y Emma was too young to do it. She was
under fifteen or however old it was, so she couldn't
do it. To do what to be on TV? So
she couldn't be on the TV. So she was upset
about that. And my mom was like, to cheer you up.
We can put the Christmas decorations up. And that was
November the fourteenth, Bless your mom.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
That's so kid.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
So that date changed for a couple of years and
now it's November the first. So I come straight out
of spooky season. Halloween's done, put away the pumpkins, and
the tree goes up.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
What do you do for like the rest of the year,
Like when January first cups? Are you just like in
a miserable state since you don't have any holidays to celebrate.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
It's the start of the year, though, you know, it's
I don't know, it's.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
A nice feeling the start of the year. How good
does it feel?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, it's sort of. I sort of get excited for
the next true. The next year, well, the next twelve
months later, and I sort of get ready for that.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I do love like that feeling after Christmas is done,
after New Year is done, and then everyone's kind of
off work and it's warm outside.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Everyone's feeling really.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I love that you.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Just postponing the inevitable of going back to work.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
See, that's toxic. You need to live in the moment.
I'm not subscribing to that, especially not in twenty twenty six.
It's all about choosing happiness. Live in the moment. Otherwise
you just think about like all the negative things in coming.
You can't live like that.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
You can't. No, I just feel like it's just inevitable,
Like the week's going to end in your back at work,
the sun.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
All your friends are off work. It is more off work,
less pressure, less stress. I always end up like being
like where should we go, Like let's go down to
TALKI for a couple of nights, or you know, like just.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Like stuff's happening in January.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
No, coming tennis is in coming. Yeah, I love the tennis.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
It's gonna be fun.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I'm excited for that.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Exciting.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Okay, let's talk about our Christmas traditions. We said that
we were going to bring five, but I have so
much more than five. And obviously this is Swedes's first
Christmas this year. And I saw this TikTok where this
girl was talking about how you don't remember the presence
yet you remember the traditions you have with your family.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I remember some presents.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah, I remember some presents, like I remember getting a piano.
That was pretty exciting.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yeah, right, I remember getting a I remember getting a
dart board.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
That's exciting.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
No, I was too young for a dart board. We
never let my mom leave that one down.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
You couldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Well, No, it was just like I wanted wrestlers or
something instead, and I got a dart board.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I remember getting walkie talkies that was fun. Yeah, and
that's I think that's pretty much the only gifts I
remember getting. But you remember the tradition.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I remember like the trampoline, I remember like yep, I
reme in the cricket bat. I remember. Yeah, I remember
heaps of stuff. Okay, but I remember traditions as well
because you keep them going as adults.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
And don't they feel so nostalgic to you? And don't
they like get you so excited like, I know your
family does. Do you want to explain your Christmas Eve tradition?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Well, we do Christmas Eve at my mum's house. So
it's been like that for probably over ten years now,
because we just it was too hard trying to figure
out Christmas Day with like when my mum and dad
like separated, so it would be like Dad gets Christmas
Day with his parents and then we do Christmas Eve
with Mum, and then it came into like you know,
with the kids with us now we do Christmas Eve
(05:49):
without with their mom and then go do Christmas Day
with our partner's parents and that. So it's sort of
like being that sort of tradition, do you know what
I mean? So we always do Christmas Eve and it's
really nice go to my mum's. We have a roast meal.
I'll get into the other little traditions we do there
as well.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
But yeah, Christmas Eve, Yeah, that's like your exciting time.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah, and I feel like it peaks Chris, I've said
that on another sort of I don't feel that way
crushes down Christmas Day.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I mean, Christmas Day is a peak. I'm like living
my best life, I'm eating my best food, like.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
You never feel it on Christmas Day, more Christmas Eve.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Maybe you need more traditions on Christmas Day. Maybe you
know you have the tradition on Christmas Eve, that's when
it peaks for you. Maybe you need to do, like
have a thing that you do every year to make
you get that excited feeling in your bones.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
In my stomach, give my scuts. Do you have any
traditions that you keep going from when you're a kid.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
We do so obviously we're from the UK, so every
Christmas morning my parents go to the British butcher and
British food Shop or whatever it's called, and they get
a full British breakfast. So all of the food is
imported from the UK and it's like a big fry up.
It's huge. They have I don't know if you've heard
(07:07):
of potato SCons. We have a potato scon on the plate.
We have black pudding, which is British British bacon, like
I think it's Scottish bacon. We have square sausage, love
square sausage, just all of the British breakfast foods.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Basically, yeah, I want to come around over that.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
It's so good. We do it at like eight am
in the morning and then we won't eat and then
we'll have our Christmas lunch. So that's like I get
really excited about the breakfast. And because we're going to
Hamilton Island this year. My mum was like, oh, we
won't do it this year, and I was like, no,
we are.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Doing it in Hamilton Island.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
We're doing it in Hamilton Island. We need to go
to the butcher or the shop. We need to get
the food, we need to put it in an eski
and fly it to Hamilton Island because I'm not going with.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
That the last four years. I'm flying out Christmas morning.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, how's that?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
It's raf. I did Christmas Eve last year. Sorry, yeah,
but after dinner we went to the airport and made
it just in time to like put out the cookies
and watch the Grinch and all that. But yeah, it's raf. Hay.
The Christmas Morning was a rough fly.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah, absolutely, I feel like flying though. Wouldn't they be
more festive?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
You'd think so, But no, not really.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
No, maybe the air hostess is a bit shitty that
they're working. No.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
One year, I think they did something I can't remember.
They made it Christmas Eve. They give us candy canes
or something.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
So it just takes one person to be like full
of life and joy and happiness so they can really
spread that Christmas cheer.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah. I think they have like a Christmas like you know,
broach on like Christmas hat or something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
something like that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I want to spread Christmas cheer this December.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
That's what we're doing here on this episode.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
We're doing Okay, I have a few Christmas traditions that
I really want to do. The first one is, obviously
we are spending Swaye's first Christmas with my family and
then we're going to go to see Michael's family after.
But what I'm gonna do is, I'm going to wrap
Christmas pajamas for everyone who's going to be in Hamilton Island,
and I'm going to give everyone a gift on the
(09:14):
day of rival and we can all wear matching Christmas
pajamas the whole time we're there. I think it would
be so key. Swayede will be in them too, And
I think it's just like that thing where like you
wake up in the morning we're all in matching pajamas, Like.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
How cute will you do that? As well. It's a
tradition on Christmas. If we do it, we get a
photo with the matching pajamas. This year, we've photo shopped
a Christmas hat on to Dexter. So he's going to
be on the dogie on our I don't know which
one it is, but one of these is going to
be on all our Christmas stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Put them on our Facebook group.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
So cute, he's so cute. Yeah, so we're gonna all
be wearing matching stuff and we'll wake up and do that. Yeah,
but then those go into the tops. That's why there's
so many Christmas stuff because all the different Christmas like stuff.
So I start wearing Christmas pajamas from like, yeah, November
the first, yes, yeah, I love it. My other one
is on Christmas Eve dinner. I make Christmas cocktails. Yeah,
(10:14):
so yeah, so I do like the during the lead up,
I'll like get all the ingredients and I'll search different ones.
There's yeah, there's some nice ones there and there's some
real misses sometimes. But you know, I play bartender for
the day.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I've made a Christmas shot ones and it was like,
you know a little jelly shot that you make with
obviously was it red red and then you put like
you have done yeah the sound hats what's it called
whip cream? Whipped cream, and then you put like a
little red lolly on top and it looks like a
sound of hat. Yeah, And it was really fun and
it looked really cute.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I did that one year. Yeah. I like doing them.
They're fun. Also, I've touched on it. The other Christmas,
we buy real Christmas trees, so we have two real
ones in the house. Something my mum does randomly is
buis I saw advent calendar said randomly. She's been doing
it forever. She can doing it for yeah. On gives
it to all the kids and her son in laws
now and she buys us on Christmas Day like a
(11:09):
cabre stocking Christmas Lilly stocking. That's that's just a random
one that she does.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I like that, you know what. Going back to the
Christmas trees, I love having a real Christmas tree and
again talking about that nostalgic feeling, it smells like Christmas
to me.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Literally, I was talking to someone and they're like, when
I was getting the Christmas tree and I was chrying
about my day and they never had a real Christmas tree.
And she's like, what's the point And I was like,
the smell, Yeah, like what does it even smell like?
And Christmas was my answer. Christmas it smells like because
as soon as you walk in the house, someme as
you can smell it.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yeah, I do get it like it. We at my
at our house, like we obviously have a pretty small house.
We have like the little sparkly one, so it's not
a Christmas a real Christmas tree, but my parents do.
And every time I go to my parents, I'm like,
oh my god, it smells like it. And as soon
as we get a bigger house and we have somewhere
to put a real Christmas tree, one hundred percent because
(12:03):
I want way to be like this smells like Christmas.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
You can get scented sticks my mum puts around the
house as well. That's sort of give the Christmas smell.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
That's cute. And you can get scented candles. Yeah, very cute.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
My next one, I'll just my next one is I
start watching so from November the first, because I'm you know,
I'm huge movie buff, right and it's a big part
of my life. So from November first, I finish Halloween
movie if you guys would be outstanding at the amount
of movies I watch, like, you'd be flabbergasted, Like, seriously,
(12:39):
I don't think people realize how much we do.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
You talk about it a lot.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Yeah, I don't think people realize how many I actually watch. Right,
So from October the thirty first, stop Halloween ones. Then
November the first, November fourteenth, I watch snow vibed movies.
Snow vibes, so movies that are in the snow. Okay,
so they're.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Excited to York vibes.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yeah, no, sort of. They just have to have the
snow around. Or Christmas is in the movie, but it's
not the main character, so you've got your Diehard's a
perfect example. It is a Christmas movie, but it's that's
one Eye's white chart, End of Days. There's a whole
list of them. And then from November the fourteenth, I
go full Christmas movies. So have you ever watched a
(13:21):
Christmas Hallmark movie? Yes? How good are they?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Amazing?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Amazing, amazing? A little bit I struggled, is that like
Home Alone? No, It's like no, no, no, it's the
rom com ones. So it's like where this So there's
a give you an example, right, I couldn't give you
an example of a Hallmark one, because a Hallmark that's
made by Hallmark, you would never have stumbled across these
(13:45):
unless you're looking for them. But an example would be
you know the ones that Netflix do every year? Yes, yes, yeah,
you know how they have like Lindsay Lohan and they're
a bit cheesy, cheesy, Yeah, I love though. Yeah is
that a Hallmark move? So Hallmark makes them every year,
but then people make like their own versions of game. Yeah,
so that's that vibe, Like a girl goes back to
her family and like, there's the X that she broke
(14:07):
up with and left for the big towns there and
they click again, you know what I mean? Yeah? I
started well, I obviously I watched a lot of them
on my honeymoon. So when I started to watch them
this year, it was a bit rough at the start. Yeah,
but I got got back into him after a couple
or Christmas horrors. Now you're asking yourself that is such
a niche genre, right.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
No, it's both of them. So I start on those
full Christmas movies.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
You can't just do all the horror Christmas. You're like
going from like extreme terrifiedness to that is not even
a word, but like terror to like lovey dovey. Yes,
very interesting. I do light and shade.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah, light and shade. I'll probably do one of each night.
You're asking me, where do you find these Christmas horror movies?

Goldberg the wrestler play Santo wh he goes around killing people?
My god, Chef's kiss.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
You're so unique with your horror movies. I don't know
if I can ever get around it. But anyway, maybe
one day in my life I would just all of
a sudden turn to horror movie and be like, do
you know what what have I been missing out on?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Do you know what made me click that I liked them?
It was that it burns calories.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I'm not even engaging.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I watched one and I'm like, this is actually really entertaining.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I'm not going to put myself into fight or flight
to burn like three calories. Sorry, not anymore. Okay. Some
Christmas traditions that I want to do, yes, go okay.
Carol's by Candlelight every single year. Love it. I think
it's so cute, really gets you into the festive spirit.
(16:37):
They kind of do it at the start of December
as well.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
The local ones.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
The local one, yes, you know, every year, I will
say that one on Christmas Eve. I'm always like, oh,
I would love to go to that, But then I
don't know if I do actually want to go to that.
I think I like being on the couch it's Christmas
Eve watching it.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
I think that, Yeah, you know, we have it on
in the background when we have dinner, and I think
that is probably better than going than actually going.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I agree, it's you go to your local one.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Yeah, the local one that started December, I reckon. I've
been to plenty of there in my life and they're
they're great.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah, And I like sometimes go, sometimes don't. But like
now that Swayed is here and in the world every year,
like without fail, I want to go to that second
tradition that I want to do with the baby and
just with my life in general from now on. Starting
this year is baking chocolate chip cookies on Christmas Eve,
(17:32):
like in the morning, and I want the house to smell.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Do I plot twist your gingerbread?
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Yeah, but I think chocolate chip is so like sand
to eats chocolate chips.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Obviously, Emma cooks gingerbread on Christmas Eve.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
And does that smell ling?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
See, I think there's smell of chocolate chip cookies. I
want that for like, I want that for nostalgic feelings.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
And you're going to leave out the milk and cookies.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's not going to know what's going on,
but I will. I'll save every moment I was.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
I did that last year. I was the one who
had to eat them and like pour the milk out
because I don't drink milk, so I have to like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's cute.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah, it's very very cute. The next one is Santa photos.
Every year. We took some Santa photos this year, very cute.
Loved it, and I want to be able to have
like every single year, like the growth of Swede, and
I think it'll be nice.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
That's very cute.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Me getting older. I still don't have botox since like
being pregnant, so like maybe i'll look younger next year
when I have some botox.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
You look look, you look great, you look fine. I
love telling you look fine.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
The amount of time in my life Matt told me
I look fine. It's actually fancy.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Fine, fine, it looks fine.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
The next one is I and I've spoken to my
parents about this when we go to how Much Island.
I want to do Christmas wrapping on Christmas Eve, like,
because we're going to be in a house with the
whole family. I think it'll be nice to actually put
on some Christmas songs and rap presents altogether.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
How are you at rapping? So good? I did? Are
you really? I had Christmas Eve last year I was
rapping and I realized I'm no good at.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
That trash trash. So I used to work when I
was a Christmas casual at this shop called Raped, and
I was in charge of rapping all of the presents
so people would buy it.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Yeah right, they come to you guys to wrap him.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
And then they would come to me specifically. And the
woman who owned the shop, she was an older lady.
She was very strict on like my rapping. She's like,
oh look at that, do this, do this. So I
got so good at rapping, so now I'm my rapping
is a plaus I will say that.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Christmas rapping reminds me of love. Actually, when Alan Rickman's
buying the necklace and he's cheating on Emma Thompson.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
My god, that's such a sad moment.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
And he's got there, dude, For some reason, Alan Rickman's
face atual expressions remind me if your dat my dad.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Yeah, I've sent it to you every time. I don't know.
I just feel like it just reminds me of your
old man.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
That's so funny.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I don't know why I have to tell her.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Have you told her that?
Speaker 2 (20:10):
I don't know if I have, And it hasn't come up,
and hey, you wrong me, It hasn't. Yeah, not so much.
That more when he's in that role and he's sort
of like just says yeah, like that. Yeah. Maybe there
(20:32):
you go.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Wrapping on Christmas Eve with Christmas music in the background.
I think that's really cute. Gingerbread house making on friend Miss.
Me and my friends in recent years have started friend miss.
Love it so cute.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
When do you do friend miss?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
We're doing it on the fourteenth of December.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Yeah, right, Me and my mates decided a couple of
years ago we called pig Miss. We do it in.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
You want to be that out? Maybe?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Yeah, I have no words for you. Crue.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
We do it in between Christmas and New Year's because
we're like, it's way too hard to do it before Christmas,
so we all catch up.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
In the middle, in the middle. Can you even call
it pigmouths when Chrismas is over? I don't even know.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Well, yeah, I actually post about it and I put
it pig miss really yeah, Okay, just the boys hanging
out having a good time, drinking beers.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Why not? There's not much Christmas vibes about it, to
be fair, it's just Christmas boys meeting up. Well yeah
in the middle miss. Yeah, Well, we were thinking about
going to the cricket this year, the Ashes.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
And Michael normally does that every year. That's like his
thing with the boys. That will be away this year,
which is we get to do that. But it's such a.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Fun Yeah, that's what we're thinking.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Yeah, definitely, that's every gets up and about the cricket.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
I don't know why, because cricket's like watching paint dry, but.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
That's why they're there.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
You make your own enough, Okay, I'm not going to
do this for the whole of December. I know that
this is a thing, and I think you can probably
school me a bit on this, but I know that
elf on a shelf is a thing with kids.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Only because I got taught about it.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yeah, you know, you need to pass on your wisdom
to me. I think we've Me and Michael spoke about it.
We're going to do Elf on a shelf once, but
we're going to make it really good, and so it's
probably gonna be like probably move on quickly. But yeah,
I thought it would be cute and then to get
like a little photo with him with the elf on
a shelf. So Elf on a shelf, Yeah, please tell
(22:45):
me more.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I didn't realize that once you set it up, you
can't move it.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I didn't know that either, So it's there the whole day.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
But if the kids move it, they don't. They don't
because it's they know the rules.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
So the rules you're not you can't touch it.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
You can't touch it, yeah, because then they lose their magic,
so they have to leave it as well. And then
you move it at nighttime while they're asleep, and then
it's meant to be the elves moved right. So I
didn't know that, so I set up. I thought I'd
seen the funniest guy ever. I got Flower and made
him doing snow angels in the middle of the kitchen bench.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yeah, but it can't move all day, so everyone's cooking, cleaning,
trying to around these owls, doing snow angels and yeah,
I got a bit to go trouble for that, but
it's funny. Yeah. So there's all different kinds of things
you do Google and there's some funny ones.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Like I've seen the Pooh one. Yeah, and the ELF's
like sitting on the toilet. We only have one toil
in our house. I obviously the toiler can't be out
of service for the day, but I definitely want to
do like a really funny one. Yeah, And I feel
like if you're listening to this then you have kids,
like it would be a fun thing to do.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Yeah, I wanted to do one. I wanted to buy
a predatory. I don't worry about it. It's gonna go
with everyone's head. I was gonna get the Toweys with
a killed the alf and it's holding its head off
like so aggressive. Someone would have really appreciated that.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I know that that much.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
He would have loved it.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
And yeah, I think that's all of my traditions that
I want to do. That's actually quite a lot when
you think about it. It is a lot of things,
but it's all kind of spread out.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
So yeah, and the best thing. I love traditions. I think,
like you said, they're the things that kids, well, you
remember when you're older, like some of the stuff I remember.
I know a lot of people do one gift on
Christmas Eve. Okay, I started that with the next partner,
and but no, we just never really in my family.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Yeah, and there's obviously secret Santas, like would you do
a secret Santa with your friend? We'll definitely do that
with my friends at friend Then, no, we're not there
for secret No, you're there for the bit.
Speaker 2 (24:50):

in that. Ah, have you not seen the episode of
the Office when they do it.
Speaker 1 (25:00):

Christmas episodes of TV shows playing while we're cooking in
that episodes of like the Office of Friends playing in
the background while we cook on Christmas Eve. There you
go watch a movie as a family that night.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yeah. Well, look, I feel like Christmas is such a
beautiful time of the year. It's nice to connect with
your family, friends, treat people around you buy them some
nice gifts. I love gift giving and you do. Yeah.
I like making people feel.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Good and I'm not a gift giver or receiver. Yeah,

Speaker 1 (25:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:40):

it's like putting like acts of service. Acts of service.
You're like doing nice things for people, making, you know,
for me, like making suede childhood as good as I
can make here, or you know, doing little things for
my partner.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
I analyze this. She just figured out Christmas is all
love languages, one big day accumulated. But how nice is
I've never heard of that before, so that you heard
it here first.

get my nails done. Having my nails done makes me
feel put together. He's like, I want to go for
a run. Yeah. He's like, I want to be able
to run with Swede in the pram. So I'm getting
him a running pram and he yeah, he really wants it,
