Liv Boeree gets into the spiritAs the poker world descends into a fog of food, drink and general Christmas slothfulness the inactivity has prompted a tweet-tastic response from some of the biggest European names.

Chris Moorman (@Moorman1) seemed to be feeling the over indulgence guilt already when he tweeted “Tempted to try and do a @JamesDempseyFTP and go Sober for the WHOLE of 2012, what odds would people give me on a possible bet?”

However this was short lived folly and he soon realized the error of his ways saying “Merry Christmas everyone, scrapping that sober 2012 plan though :)”

Liv Boeree (@Liv_Boeree) was so enthused with seasonal spirit she couldn’t wait until Christmas Day tweeting “Merry Christmas Eve everyone!”

Ludovic Lacay (@Cutsybaby) was feeling the stress when he gave an insight into his Christmas Eve through a comparison with poker, “The pressure of cooking for my family on Christmas Eve is even worse than the one you feel before a final table."

Padraig Parkinson (@padraig888) had a very specific request for the big man in red, “Dear Santa, Please make them open the pub today. No hurry. Five minutes will be fine.”

While Barny Boatman (@barnyboatman) expressed his surprise Parkinson was still of this earth, “Christ Parkinson, are you STILL alive?” in a reference to the Irish man’s heart attack’s earlier this year.

He also had a bone to pick with our politically correct American cousins tweeting, “Hey Americans, It’s Christmas. Say it: ‘Christmas’. F’ing Christmas. ‘Holidays’ are in the summer and are sometimes fun.”

Parkinson may well have gotten his local pub to open judging by the threats he was issuing to his local Christmas tree, “Whoever put that huge christmas tree in the lobby obviously doesn’t drink. It’s only a matter of time before we clash.”

Along with the gift he didn’t want “FFS Santa. If I’d wanted socks id have asked for them” he may well be echoing the sentiments of many a cocooned poker player today!
