OK, let’s get this out early, if you don’t live within an hours drive from the (surfable) coast this tradition isn’t likely for you. Unless of course you don’t have the responsibilities that many other Ageing Surfers do.
Christmas is predominantly for the kids, or so we’re led to believe. But everyone should have something to look forward to right? I don’t know why I ask this as a question, but I’m fucking right! You work hard, you’re a nice person (most of the time), life can be hard and it’s been a bit stressful here and there this year and more to the point you are on annual leave!
So what’s stopping you shoe-horning a Christmas day surf into a series of never-ending festive traditions? Yes you guessed it, it’s everyone else.
Well dearest friend, fear not, the AS broom cupboard team have your back. Sometimes things need to be made legally binding. Like speed limits, picking up your dog’s shit and 5-a-day fruit intake. So here’s our plan; simply wait until your spouse/partner/mum/dad/nan/nextdoor neighbour/cat/dog is a bit ‘merry’, download our Christmas Day Surf Contract, get ’em to sign it, sign it yourself, and turn that yearning for a tradition you actually want to be a tradition into a… tradition.
Easy.
OK, ok, we know some people like Coldplay, music tastes differ and should be respected, however WRONG people are.
We really don’t like Coldplay’s Christmas offering, we feel it’s like an energy Vampire. But fear not even if you don’t entirely share our view you can still play along. You just have to avoid the song for as long as possible. Top tips: Supermarkets, call centre hold music and the radio are all pushing out some banging Chrimbo songs and some utter Coldplay ones.
Debate on the UK elections has dried up in the AS broom cupboard. We have moved on to more important matters, such as are you Team Utah or Team Bodhi? Like a number of politicians both are ruthlessly opportunistic and ‘bend the truth’. Unlike most politicians, both are sexy as f**k. You can cast your vote now below.
The two potential politicians have even written manifesto pledges for themselves, with Utah saying he’ll let you fire your gun passionately into the air as often as you like, and Bodhi saying he’ll personally introduce you to at least two members of The Red Hot Chili Pepper… Tough call…
Here in the broom cupboard we have cast our opposing votes with a bet. Loser has to follow as many Facebook fan pages that can be found and put up a 2020 calendar of sexy-as-hell image of their chosen actor.
Personally I think there’s already enough topless pictures of Swayze in this room. You can have too much of a good thing.
Polling closes on the 12th of December (that date rings a bell for some reason …)
