Matching pyjamas by whole family.

Opinions may vary 😀

Thank you harold I’m so pleased we have given you a giggle.

The animals on here are hilarious. 🤪

And a naff Christmas stocking filler a few years back.

I just thought. Maybe having 5 Christmas trees is a bit naff. But it is a rather large house and 2 of the grandchildren have 1 each in their guest rooms

Driving home from a Carol concert the other night I passed a house with an enormous blow up dinosaur in the front garden!

There was a recent mumsnet thread about a blow up dinosaur... What goes through people's heads? 😂

I saw that MN thread and was almost tempted! Gds (7) would have adored it!

My husband managed not buying the enormous dinosaur, but our part of Suffolk is low stock, because he is an elf. If any of you believe blow ups are naff (they are), fancy looking a full size Will Ferrel blow up!

I don't care about Christmas family pyjamas as we don't tend to see them.

I'm not a fan of themed Christmas trees. We have 5 and they are filled with colour and memories.

I beg you pardon “HASLAM”

hollysteers Sat 16-Dec-23 16:59:40

Nicky Hallam appears in double denim. That’s naff.

harold Sat 16-Dec-23 16:49:33

This forum is a real tonic as it's so hilarious. I still use serviette (napkin has other, worse meanings for me) and settee/sofa.

mumski Sat 16-Dec-23 16:37:36

"HUBBY" Just NOOOOO. Beyond cringy.

Casdon Sat 16-Dec-23 16:34:51

I just looked up Nicky Haslam. His middle name is actually Ponsonby.

Or their title. Particularly ex-military people who insist on still being addressed as Colonel etc after retirement.

Two naff dogs.

hollysteers Sat 16-Dec-23 16:29:33

Giant clockfaces on the walls of sitting room. They look as if they belong in a railway station.
Completely grey interiors.

On the other hand, I don’t find anything naff regarding Christmas decorations. Tackiness is allowed this time of year (although I’m not keen personally on wreaths on front doors. I’ll be taking one to the family grave).

Dinahmo Sat 16-Dec-23 16:27:21

And no I'm not jealous before some of you think that I am.

Dinahmo Sat 16-Dec-23 16:26:48

Being serious (a bit) I think that anyone flaunting their wealth is naff.

May I apply please? I have lots of snobbishness to offer.

are you prepared for the initiation ceremony,
akin to the old banging out in the print trade ?
we must uphold standards.

Perhaps you would be so kind as to supply full details for my consideration.

My sister-in-law’s dog - who is clearly plotting her revenge! 🤣🤣🤣

I also dislike elves on shelves ! What all that about , my DD is very enthusiastic about it for her two children. I keep my thoughts to myself!

Cartoon - Where does your dinosaur sleep ? Anywhere he likes 😁

I’ve got an odd sense of humour.

Turkey Teeth, but I'm possibly envious

I’m with Mr. Bennet (Pride & Predjudice):

“For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbors, and laugh at them in our turn?”

😁

Got to love Mr Bennett!
