A local extended family whose youngest member is 23 years old is preparing for yet another Christmas that resembles something out of Oktoberfest.
Like many families around Australia, the Murphy family’s younger members have found the idea of having a child not only daunting but also financially unachievable.
Thus, the Murphy family has been left to make the most of a sad situation and have another “piss-fest” Christmas.
“It would be nice for our entire bloodline not to go extinct, but if no one in the younger generation is going to have kids, we may as well get absolutely blind and make the most of this child-free environment,” said Marcus Murphy (60), the last family member to actually have a child.
Many younger members of the Murphy family have said their Christmas preparation plans have begun to resemble those of an 18-year-old’s house party.
“There isn’t really much talk of presents, or even food, honestly…” said Sarah Murphy (28).
“Most of the family group chat is Mum talking about what cocktails she’s going to make and my uncles debating which cases of beer to bring.”
The Murphy family may not be building a future generation, but they’re definitely building memories one drink at a time.
