This program made me laugh out loud… And I’m so grateful that I am alone and can spend Christmas doing my own thing… And not being forced to be polite or sociable or eat anything associated with Christmas
I absolutely agree about the cruelty of forcing shop assistants to listen to Christmas music from October through January. It was so bad that when they accidentally played a Wurzels song, my heart nearly grew three sizes. The Wurzels, for god's sake. I Am A Cider Drinker. That's what we call rock bottom.
Oh, man...thank God for this program. I was beginning to think I was the only one...However, my Christmases from now on won't be too bad, actually. You see, everyone is dead and now, it is just me and that is quite fine.
I remember one Xmas shopping in the supermarket I was really stressed out. Then cliff came on singing that just put me over the edge I screamed turn him off everyone just stared at me
I adore Christmas. I love buying presents, wrapping them whilst drinking heavily, of course. My mum also makes an amazing Christmas dinner, so I always enjoy that. No turkey though, we have pork and lamb. I don't know why people eat turkey if they don't enjoy it. I do love these Grumpy Christmas programmes though, because I can see the humour in it all and can understand why a lot of people don't enjoy it.
love this, so funny and so true. I do Christmas on the 8th of Jan. Russian Orthodox.Great, calm , non commercial plus cheap and so much more fun, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.
Unscrupulous merchants and greedy middlemen have made the Season of Christmas what it is today in the minds of most people. This is not to mention the horrible and incessant cacophony that passes for Christmas Carols being blasted in every shop you go into, and which have nothing at all to do with the true meaning of the holyday! It's not for nothing then that according to statistics, more suicides occur during this time of year, by far, than any other!
Geoffrey Palmer is the perfect narrator for this series. He already sounds gloomy reading his script. Jack Dee is another gloomy soul, but he would add a different gloominess
I live in Sydney Australia . All I can say is I have never or has anyone I know ever spent Christmas at the Beach. Yes it is True Bondi Is full of Pommie Backpackers & Backpackers in General. .
Spend it in an isolated cottage with or without your husband and dog, plenty of gin and a few books a Fortnum's hamper, hot water bottle, roaring fire and it will all be over soon.............Bah Humbug!
In my family because Christmas is such a blur, we find that the season has passed before we've done half of the things we wanted to do. Some of my family don't really get into it, but me I just celebrate it when I get a chance to relax and be around people I want to be around. We don't often buy surprises that others have to pretend to appreciate. Most gifts become clutter. I figure that Jesus was already the most thoughtful gift, and he may have been born in the spring. We also realize on New Years Day that we forgot to send Christmas Cards. I am from the USA in case anyone wonders. I never had a truly British Christmas.
Ya'll have nothing to complain about. In the Philippines the Christmas season starts in SEPTEMBER and ends in fucking FEBRUARY. I don't know why people bother to take the Christmas lights down anymore.
Whether you believe it or not, there are folk's who are truly and sincerely enthusiastic about the Christmas holidays, the psychiatric community. No joke. Way-back-when, we received Christmas cards that covered the livingroom walls. "Everyone Loves Us". Last Christmas we recieved Zero, null, 0, empty set. I'm crushed. 🙂
My favourite programme this. Required watching for every Xmas phobics out there including myself. Christmas starts so early now September in fact, that it has become ridiculous.The entire thing has become so commercialised now that any meaning it did have once has been lost. In fact its enormous conspiracy by the supermarkets and the capitalists out there, too get as much money out of us as possible by the 25th of December.Its supposed to about the birth of Christ not an excuse to see who can spend as much money as they can or show off their wealth, which in fact is what they are doing. I can't waite for dambed thing to end.
Richard Trout I was so horribly disappointed when my mother's boss, a very wealthy Anglophile had a Christmas "pudding" with hard sauce sent to us for Christmas along with quite a few other goodies. It was horrible, taste, texture simply everything about it. Now, a British friend claimed it to be exquisite. He was either mad or utterly without a sense of taste. The ten pounds of pistachios and the twenty pound wheel of baby Swiss and other goodies were splendid. But God that 'cake' was awful. We told him we loved it though, just far less emphasis on it than all his other wonderful gifts. What a great fellow he was.
People complaining about how irritating christmas is have santas and christmas trees, snowmen and elves and flashing lights in their homes. Just treat the whole load of bollocks with the utter contempt it deserves and ignore it.
Thanks so much for uploading this. I`ve been trying to find this for ages. You don't have the grumpy guide to the eighties do you? If you uploaded that, it would make my week :)
Will James I would sooner hear "Feliz Navidad" by Jose Feliciano on a continuous loop for 72 hours straight then endure more than one play of either "Merry Christmas Everyone" or _anything_ by Cliff Richard. In fact, I'd treat it as a game: if I walk into a shop that's playing either Noddy's screaming or Cliff's crooning, the poor sod who has to endure that for a shift gets a free Vince Guaraldi CD. Christmas calls for Charlie Brown music.
I did not understand a word Ozzy Osbourne said :( but laughed out loud on the rest of the comments :) I don't know why I discovered this series only now. so good
+BeccaAgainstBoredom I have seen grumpy"" New year" years ago its still not on You Tube .One of the Questions was :Happy New Year?The problems you have this year are there again in the new year!!!(##%%$%!!fk!)No ffing Happy New Year!
YES! I completely agree. I don't HAVE to like Christmas. It's my choice. Trying to force me to take part and to like it just makes it even worse and makes me dislike it even more. I have said so many things said in this to other people in my life about Christmas haha
I'm so glad I'm not the only one like this haha! Fuck i just try sleep for 3 days till it's over and mid January yoj start to feel abit normal again its mind washing
I live on my own in the country with my dogs,I have always thought of putting a large notice on my front door stating...........hi all,I have got the most virulant,most toxic form of flue known to man,I am in quarantine,but please feel free come in.
I love these progs so funny. The christmas thing has got beyond a joke. I am a russian orthodox, not that I pratice! one thing I do is celebrate their christmas 8th of jan. no stress, hassle, a great time to have friends to dinner, they are all knackered and enjoy the relaxed time they have with me. Take the nearest weekend if it fits better.
Christmas has good and bad points like a time of getting with friends and family But there is some Christmas songs that make me cringe Then. It's fact Christmas countdown starts around late november
I hate christmas it is the only time of the year I drink to kill the pain and embassesment. The should have cruses which stay at sea over chistmas where it is forbidden to mention the word.
Don't get me wrong I like Christmas it's just so loud and at one point there was Christmas Day now it's Christmas Few Months. By the time it's Christmas your tired of it.
Will James too right a nice steak or venison is always preferable to Turkey on Christmas Day. Turkey is dry food that's tasteless and is ruined with brussel sprouts. Then too top it all you have Christmas Pud an edible afters. Give me just ice cream.
Bah humbug...every year......obscene is exactly what it has become......I would like to hang that man that wrote the song..I wish it could be Christmas every day’......what the bloody hell😳
People should just do what I do and buy a fake tree that you can keep in the loft the rest of the year. It will never die and you don't need to bother with buying a new one each year.
"Sod off,Christmas!" You said it,mate.
I love Christmas, although I agree with the tipping and the non-stop Christmas songs in the stores and shops 😂😁
This program made me laugh out loud… And I’m so grateful that I am alone and can spend Christmas doing my own thing… And not being forced to be polite or sociable or eat anything associated with Christmas
Good for you, i f*****g detest it
I watch this to make me feel Christmassy
I absolutely agree about the cruelty of forcing shop assistants to listen to Christmas music from October through January. It was so bad that when they accidentally played a Wurzels song, my heart nearly grew three sizes. The Wurzels, for god's sake. I Am A Cider Drinker. That's what we call rock bottom.

hoopenhanger Merry Christmas!
I remember one Xmas shopping in the supermarket I was really stressed out. Then cliff came on singing that just put me over the edge I screamed turn him off everyone just stared at me
I'd thrown myself under a bus
This is the most British thing I've ever seen.
2019 bought my wife a chainsaw, my mates were astounded, but it has been the most used Xmas present since
The camel part. I just almost died choking on my coffee. Thank you for that.
I loved this series. I work in a supermarket which is hard work can't enjoy it till i get home at 7.30pm on xmas eve.
I am a proper grinch at Christmas I hate it Love this specially when Ozzy says “ it’s bollox “ Love him 🥰
i love these shows - literally laughing out loud lol
I'm a Grumpy & have always liked these series .So Thanks for sharing. . .
You gotta love Ozzy Osbourne, he's says what he means
just eat beans on toast for Christmas Day Lunch !
The best part of Christmas is when it's finally over 6 days later :)
3:50 "it comes and it comes and it comes," Oh, god, doesn't it just? Thank you Penny.
I adore Geoffrey Palmer and his grumpy persona.

Unscrupulous merchants and greedy middlemen have made the Season of Christmas what it is today in the minds of most people.

Oh god, this is brilliant. I wish I'd known this was online about three months ago!
I live in Sydney Australia . All I can say is I have never or has anyone I know ever spent Christmas at the Beach. Yes it is True Bondi Is full of Pommie Backpackers & Backpackers in General. .
Yeah? Well London is full of Aussie backpackers strutting about in flip-flops and them dopey Cork hats.
You should try having a Christmas birthday like I've got...
Everyone's pissed off with the stress of it all and I just age
without any celebration...
I will wish you happy birthday when it comes. Though, it will be my timezone though so it maybe late or early. Depebding on where you live. :-)
Happy Birthday to you :)

Spend it in an isolated cottage with or without your husband and dog, plenty of gin and a few books a Fortnum's hamper, hot water bottle, roaring fire and it will all be over soon.............Bah Humbug!

I prefer new years episode

I love Penny Smith. Straight talking, pretty, balls out, tells it how it is. Brilliant!
Thanks for cheering me up.
I used to see my window cleaner once a year two weeks before Christmas and that's the truth!
just luv this so funny great programme
Ronni Ancona is gorgeous.
I absolutely love Christmas, but I detest the forced jolity-on-steroids.
In my family because Christmas is such a blur, we find that the season has passed before we've done half of the things we wanted to do.

The elf centre, i'm still laughing.

Why was Terry Christian ever given a job on TV?
Whether you believe it or not, there are folk's who are truly and sincerely
enthusiastic about the Christmas holidays,
the psychiatric community.
No joke.
Way-back-when, we received Christmas cards that covered the livingroom walls. "Everyone Loves Us".
Last Christmas we recieved
Zero, null, 0, empty set.
I'm crushed. 🙂
Tis The Season to be jolly....

I f**king hate Christmas and people already have decorations up and it's not even December.Time off work is the only good thing about it
I thought of you! Well stop thinking about me! Classic 😉
I actually like Christmas Pudding.
Richard Trout

BOXING DAY at 5:00am... says it all really
Thanks so much for uploading this. I`ve been trying to find this for ages. You don't have the grumpy guide to the eighties do you? If you uploaded that, it would make my week :)
Cliff Richard songs should not be allowed at all, especially during christmas.
I hate him aswell - something about him that's not right when your age 34 or younger
I can completely
Agree
Will James I would sooner hear "Feliz Navidad" by Jose Feliciano on a continuous loop for 72 hours straight then endure more than one play of either "Merry Christmas Everyone" or _anything_ by Cliff Richard. In fact, I'd treat it as a game: if I walk into a shop that's playing either Noddy's screaming or Cliff's crooning, the poor sod who has to endure that for a shift gets a free Vince Guaraldi CD. Christmas calls for Charlie Brown music.
as a contractor, I used to look forward to christmas cos it was double time and I could dodge all the bullshit including my new year birthday
Only 343 days to Christmas day 2017
Or merry xmas from Oxfam cards! Feck aff!
20 Days left folks to Xmas day 2014
I did not understand a word Ozzy Osbourne said :( but laughed out loud on the rest of the comments :) I don't know why I discovered this series only now. so good
+BeccaAgainstBoredom I have seen grumpy"" New year" years ago its still not on You Tube .One of the Questions was :Happy New Year?The problems you have this year are there again in the new year!!!(##%%$%!!fk!)No ffing Happy New Year!
Roy K. haha would love to see that!!
Ozzy is a legend
That'sSoBeki I’m from the midlands and understand him perfectly 😉
When I was a practisng alkoholic, Christmas was great!
YES! I completely agree. I don't HAVE to like Christmas. It's my choice. Trying to force me to take part and to like it just makes it even worse and makes me dislike it even more. I have said so many things said in this to other people in my life about Christmas haha
But then again, Christmas is what you make it, and you can make it a really happy time without faking anything ;-) Merry Next Christmas ;-)
I'm so glad I'm not the only one like this haha! Fuck i just try sleep for 3 days till it's over and mid January yoj start to feel abit normal again its mind washing
I live on my own in the country with my dogs,I have always thought of putting a large notice on my front door stating...........hi all,I have got the most virulant,most toxic form of flue known to man,I am in quarantine,but please feel free come in.
I love these progs so funny. The christmas thing has got beyond a joke. I am a russian orthodox, not that I pratice!
one thing I do is celebrate their christmas 8th of jan. no stress, hassle, a great time to have friends to dinner, they are all
knackered and enjoy the relaxed time they have with me. Take the nearest weekend if it fits better.
43:08 yes. Yes it is.
Thank heavens to listen to people who DON'T like Xmas Pud and Brussle Sprouts.
Christmas has good and bad points like a time of getting with friends and family
But there is some Christmas songs that make me cringe
Then. It's fact Christmas countdown starts around late november
I absolutely love Christmas. Father Christmas's Birthday :)
Give peas a chance!
Fast forward ....2020😂 2021 ?
And, they forgot to mention the queen's speech..which is supposed to be a highlight of the day!
Have to say watching this ive fallen for Penny Smith.......!!
I hate christmas it is the only time of the year I drink to kill the pain and embassesment. The should have cruses which stay at sea over chistmas where it is forbidden to mention the word.
Hear hear
I can’t believe how much Andi Oliver has totally changed!
What about a Grumpy Guide to Grumpy People?
Ah Ozzy. 22:10.
Penny Smith is attractive.
july round christmas i agree
Sure, Christmass the Brittish way
In Belgium it's more a family thing, not going out and getting drunk.
We tend to wait for that 'till newyears eve
Love Christmas but the commercials drive me nuts because of the bells
i flippin hate going shopping for people, cant I just put money in an envelope, I dont like wrapping..
ugh...
Terry Christian telling it like it is.
Don't get me wrong I like Christmas it's just so loud and at one point there was Christmas Day now it's Christmas Few Months. By the time it's Christmas your tired of it.
Will James too right a nice steak or venison is always preferable to Turkey on Christmas Day. Turkey is dry food that's tasteless and is ruined with brussel sprouts. Then too top it all you have Christmas Pud an edible afters. Give me just ice cream.
This video is just like i feel about christmas & new year, It sucks
Bah humbug...every year......obscene is exactly what it has become......I would like to hang that man that wrote the song..I wish it could be Christmas every day’......what the bloody hell😳

People should just do what I do and buy a fake tree that you can keep in the loft the rest of the year. It will never die and you don't need to bother with buying a new one each year.
