Are you the Christmas brat in your family?
Day, my family all gets up and dad puts the coffee machine on. He doesn’t talk to anyone until he’s had his first cup, which I’ll allow because he does a late shift on Christmas Eve.
From there, the day goes like clockwork and I spend it – just like every December 25th – safe in the knowledge that I’ve orchestrated a fantastic celebration.Advertisement Christmas brattiness didn’t start with me. Even in We Wish You A Merry Christmas there’s a horde of stubborn carol-singers who will not be moved until they are brought figgy pudding. Although I’ve never had a penchant for dried fruit, my attitude towards family and friends topping up my Prosecco and bringing me After Eights until I vomit is much the same.
After opening the presents I told my parents that I was bored and had nothing to play with, which resulted in me getting in trouble and having to apologise. However, once I explained my position – that though I did have things to play with as a group, none of the toys I’d received were one-player – they agreed I wasn’t actually being rude, and had a lot to bring to the table in terms of Christmas ideas.
