Muggins. Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 It`s one of those times of the year that i loathe. It`s over rated, over priced and it`ll soon be here. If there was an uninhabited island somewhere i could get to i`d quite happily spend a week there to avoid it. What`s your take on christmas??

Ricko Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 I think we came here the other year. I can't stand it. For the record: It is a 'Christian' festival, and as an atheist I don't take part, give me Midwinter Solstice and Walpurgis Nicht anytime. It's about chldren, fine my ex-wife ****** off to the other side of the country, I never see my kids on Christmas day. It's about families, I don't speak to my father, and my mother drives me mad. It's a time to relax and have nice food, I relax at the weekends and eat nice food 365/24/7 I think that the last time this discussion took place I offered to help a PW member plumb in a radiator in Shropshire - the offer still stands!

Kes Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Weve changed our Christmas to a bit more traditional - fewer presents, locally sourced turkey, home grown veg, jams and chutneys, time with friends and mostly time together. Boxing day I'm out with the gun for a walk round with friends. A pint in the pub after, home, cold meats picallilli with turkey and ham cold and hot turkey and veg soup. All it always used to be and a whole lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vole Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Could do without it . Nothing good about Christmas dinner when you have to make excuses and leave before they all tuck in . Should not grumble as there are many out there desperate to work , Christmas or not . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the enigma Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Love Christmas. Seeing the weans faces on Christmas morning is something special. But I hate seeing Christmas decoraions up in flaming October! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boromir Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 I enjoy it for the family time.= and a bit of rest from work and think about what Im going to do for the next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 I like it in general, but I prefer Halloween. Anyone ever slipped laxitives into the trick or treat basket? Couple of years from now the wee brats will know not to wrap my window = less expenditure on sweets and more money for carts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED BEARD Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 i love christmas,i always have.when i was a young fella it was all about santa coming,then when older its all about presents (and money off relations if your lucky!),then when you about 15 onwards it all about going out pubbing and drinking,and now is the best time,its all about my little lad waiting for santa and the look on his face when he's opening his presents,just magical!.

pimpkiller Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 i love crimbo but got no money this year. im interested to see if there is a big national spending spree this year, i doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloke Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 I loved it when my kids were young, the magic on a childs face is wonderful. I now like the fact that days off allow the family to meet up, but now there is only myself and my 2 kids (31 and 29, so not kids anymore) left, so it is tinged with a bit of sadness for those who aren't around the table any more. Still, it is nice to give the ones you love presents , but I REALLY HATE all the commercialism surrounding it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bi9johnny Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 I love it with a passion the tree the giving of presents and spoiling the wife and kids even if they are in late 20's lovely dinner cooked by the lad everyone is happy no drunks or bickering then walk the dog and drop the wife at work and curl up to watch tv with the dog before shooting boxing day bliss I tell you it don't get better. Only thing is don't send cards I give to Sally army instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it always used to be and a whole lot more. amen to that. if Christmas is treated as it should be (church is optional but not as bad as many may think!!) then i find it is a time of the year that makes you glad to be alive. love it.

Vince Green Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 I really enjoy it but my idea of Christmas is shut the door, put the phone on silent (yes customers will phone up on Christmas day! Anyway a lot of them are Jewish) and stay indoors for three or four days being totally lazy and antisocial. Only time I ever do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyska Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 I look forward to it every year, I love it. Real tree, I love the smell, the cat getting stuck in the tree...every year...time with my kids when they are really excited, the risk of snow, which never happens.....love it.

Dunkield Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 It`s one of those times of the year that i loathe. If you loathe it so much why mention it in the first place? I really enjoy it, 2 weeks off work get spending time with friends and family, eat loads, drink loads - what's not to like? I do think it should be kept in December though - not mentioned in October like you just have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
