    \n
  1. \n

    Giving Santa a bit of something you picked up from the outdoor on Christmas<\/a> Eve doesn’t mean serving up something you found in the garden.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Just because you had to go all round the Wrekin to find a Christmas present for the babby, that doesn’t necessarily mean you had to visit a hill in Shropshire.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    If your partner calls you half soaked for forgetting batteries for the kids toys, you’re not also half dry.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    If you mom has a cob on because no-one complimented Christmas dinner, it’s not because she’s making you a back-up sandwich.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    If you are sent up the wooden hill early on Christmas Eve, you’re not expected to hike a forested mountain.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  6. \n

    If you’re ordered to keep your donnies off the dinner before it’s plated up, it’s got nothing to do with Osmond, Darko or Wahlberg.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  7. \n

    If you decide to wag it on the first official day back after Christmas, you’re not talking about the dog’s tail.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  8. \n

    Getting stuck on an island on Boxing Day isn’t as beachy and luxurious as it sounds.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  9. \n

    If your mom says she’s going to lamp you for being ungrateful for your gifts, she’s lighting up your earhole, not the room.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  10. \n

    Spending New Year’s Eve in Great Barr is distinctly different from spending it in a great bar!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Christmas is the time of good will to all men, to forgive the wrongs of the last 12…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":654722,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7820],"tags":[855,748,35745,173456,198154,393,4884,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-654721","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-birmingham","8":"tag-birmingham","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-christmas","11":"tag-christmas-dinner","12":"tag-christmas-eve","13":"tag-england","14":"tag-great-britain","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115782334098550501","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/654721","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=654721"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/654721\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/654722"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=654721"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=654721"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=654721"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
