CHRISTMAS IS FAST approaching and that can only mean one thing – the RTÉ Christmas Guide is on its way!

And as all Irish people know, the RTÉ Christmas Guide is an ~essential~ part of the Irish Christmas experience.

Ah, remember the exciting days when your Mam would come with the RTÉ Guide and a big box of Tayto?

CHRISTMAS IS FINALLY HERE!

The anticipation about who would be on the cover every year was real

Who will it be? Marty Whelan? Ryan Tubridy? Eoghan McDermott?

One thing is for sure – Pat Shortt will most definitely be on it

Once you got your greasy mitts on it, your favourite thing to do was grab it and circle all the films you wanted to watch

Whoops!

And every year, you looked forward to finding out what movies RTÉ would show on Christmas Eve/Christmas Day/St. Stephen’s Day

“Well, would you look at that? The Full Monty is on! That’ll be good.”

There was blue murder whenever anyone mislaid the RTÉ Guide

“WHERE’S THE RTÉ GUIDE? DID SOMEONE TAKE IT OFF TO THEIR ROOMS?”

You were shocked if the cover actually managed to stay intact for the whole of Christmas

Whoops!

You most definitely entered the competitions at the back

Answer all the questions to be in with a chance to win a hamper? I LOVE A CHALLENGE.

And you relied on it to remember what day of the week it was

“Is it Tuesday? Saturday? Oh, the RTÉ Guide says it’s Friday.”

Already excited for this year’s tbh

Let’s just hope it doesn’t feature any scary illustrations this time around.
