I guess Christmas in July is a real thing. At least KFC thinks so and says we should all be wearing ugly Christmas jumpers, putting up Christmas trees, ordering chicken buckets, and having the time of our lives with friends at a party.

That's ridiculous. The only good thing about Christmas is the Christmas pud and custard. Everybody knows that. Get back in your hole kfc.

Fun fact: KFC in actual Christmas is a thing in Japan but I agree, nice try.

KFC wants to get into your hole.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

It has succeeded on many occasions but not for FUCKING CHRISTMAS and not for FUCKING PRETEND CHRISTMAS either.

You gotta pay the troll toll to get into KFCs hole

Trouble is as soon as it does it wants to come back out if the hole immediately and I have to spend the next several hours paying the price for not letting it.

That's ridiculous. The only time I ever did Xmas in July was when my late FIL was alive (barely) and I didn't think he'd make it until Xmas. So I did a family Xmas in July so he could enjoy something and we'd have an occasion to remember, and bugger me if I didn't fluke one of the nicest meals I've ever cooked. People still talk about it kinda hopefully around this time of year but I only did it that one time for special reasons. KFC can go to buggery.

That's lovely and precious❤ I hear about people wanting to do Xmas in July from time to time but don't think I've ever participated. It's just kinda weird.
