The Guy Who Decides Christmas has a lot to answer for
Anyone who celebrates Christmas – or doesn’t, but works in retail – will be only too well aware of how stressful it can get. Thanks to the wonderful Jimmy Rees, we now know exactly who to blame.
In this episode of The Guy Who Decides, we really get to the bottom of the thinking behind all those Christmas traditions …or should that be the lack of thinking?
“Oh, and Jason – put some crappy jokes, some flimsy plastic toys and a paper crown in a cardboard tube with some mild explosives.”
That sums it up quite well, we reckon. Here’s how YouTube reacted to Jimmy’s 2021 sketch.
Pretty much captured the essence of Christmas right there. Can’t wait to see the Boxing Day version.

The Guy who decides is so bloody accurate

I’ve never worked out why everyone rushes around in a panic to get presents the days leading up to christmas (it’s not like you don’t know when it is, same date every year!)

I love the description of Christmas crackers. So weird when you think about it.

‘Don’t be a Jason, Jason’ – needs to be on a t-shirt lol

Made my day I haven’t laughed this hard in ages.

Jason and Sir sharing a laugh at the fact road projects are never on time or budget is wholesome.

No, it’s not creepy at all that small children have to sit on the lap, of an old , fat bearded guy they don’t know, and he sees them when they’re sleeping

You forgot to add – every retail store has to play THE MOST annoying, cheesy Christmas carols. So the already stressful shop will be dialled up several notches and hit that final nerve.

Funny, but scarily accurate.

New euphemism just dropped.
You guys this is officially my new favourite saying, “What the actual flipity-flips!”

The Guy Who Decides wasn’t only in charge of weird bearded men breaking into homes …he also had to set the standards for packaging products.
