I read a post on Facebook the other day which implies that those who use swear words are more honest and trustworthy. I don’t know if that is true of me, though I do use quite a few profanities in daily life. But over the festive period I have found that I need greater restraint at a time which is intrinsically more stressful and swear-word inducing.
So to spare the embarrassment of inappropriate swearing moments, I have asked a few bloggers to suggest their favourite Festive Themed Expletive. Print the list off and keep it handy for when you burn the turkey/overcook the potatoes/can’t get into the kids’s toy packaging/forget the batteries to make the blessed thing work.
Elf Off is my current favourite.

Ha ha! Thanks for the smiles and the ideas – I think I probably need to substitute a few of these for the not so seasonal versions that slip out occasionally!
