figgy Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) It's a time for the family and friends the seasonal food goodies and drinks. For looking after them in need who struggle to do every day things for themselves, like a shooting mate who's had an op and cant shoot for a while For walks with dogs and wife in crispy frosty countryside getting red cheeks and cold toes and fingers, getting home and crashing in front of the fire with some nibbles and a drink, to watch something good on tv Figgy Edited November 30, 2014 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team tractor Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 First time in 46 years I will wake up alone on Christmas day. will have my little one from lunchtime onwards though . Just another day til then Been there :( Ten weeks without seeing my kiddies and a quiet house is enough to send you mad. I was put on tablets 4 years ago until things picked up and it's strange as I always said I'd never go through it again. This year I'm with a superb woman and child on way Things get better with time honedt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 A season for many drunk drivers, also an excuse for dwayne down the road to rob the house of christmas presents to feed his habbit. An excuse for big businesses to mark up huge profits on cheap chinese toys. Iceland drag out the dreaded party foods, that have graced their freezers since 2000bc. If you look hard enough, you MAY find a mammoth steak or two. An excuse for family to visit and get their presents, lets face it! They don't bother any other day in the year! An excuse for companies to treat their staff like ****, pushing them to breaking point, and over work them to save a few quid. An excuse for HMV to relaunch their now thats what I call christmas CD with the same god awful tunes on. Taxi's to charge silly prices, restaraunts to charge £65 for a£3.50 carvery, Garages to bump up fuel prices as they are the only garage open for miles! Either pay or walk. A tine for Ack Ack to make peace with the Environment Agency and have a game of football, just for christmas day though, then back to his trench. Leeks n all. And the season of sprouts too. On a simmer since cilla first released Alfie. Have I left anything out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkiserow Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 For me the best thing is watching the dogs open their present. I've got them a BMX each this year, cant wait to see their little dog faces light up. I thought you were going to buy them swimming lessons this year .....

FalconFN Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Christmas is a time for a drunken bearded old man with undefined address to break into your house and empty his sack in your living room. He also smokes a pipe, probably crack, and uses an unpaid immigrant work force to do hard labour. No thank you Klaus! You can keep your chrimbo, it's Winterval from now on in my house.

69chris Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 My kids are 5&8 so it's superb to watch them open the pressies I've spent months paying for . I'll hopefully go out shooting again and get a few days off over my birthday i remember those days well, enjoy your day bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLuke Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 For me it's less about the presents and more about the presence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lampwick Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 We'll it started for us today! First day of the Advent calendar for my boy (he's already rather excited) "How many sleeps" How many times will I be asked that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Yes the advent calendars are out in our house and just to really help things along the wife asked, "if you're not shooting today can you go in the loft and get the tree and decorations down? I think I will be out in the fields today! Christmas is TOO EARLY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick miller Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 It's all about dressing up in a coca - cola coloured outfit to celebrate the birth of a man who probably didn't exist by putting a long forgotten pagan symbol of life's triumph over death in your living room, eating and drinking to excess and racking up a mountain of debt on the credit card. Of course, if you haven't got any friends of family nearby, it's a great time of year to contemplate suicide. Or am I over analysing it? On the plus side I got a 3D printer coming 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandgun Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 dont any of you remember christmas when you were a child ? its their favourite part of the year, unfortunately its an over hyped expense for adults, thats life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 For me its another chance to see if I can remember The Great Escape word for word. Then ,after eating and drinking far too much we can all sit around the table and play a board game (bored?)-this usually ends up in a massive argument so we all wander off to take a second look at the gifts that we received earlier in the hope that they may have become more interesting. Last but not least we can all support our local shops and small businesses by paying thru the nose for carp that if it had never been invented would never be missed. Merry Xmas.

Grandalf Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Unfortunately Xmas doesn't mean anything to me, Just another day With you on this one. Commercialism gone mad. Should be banned outside churches. Just another old day in this house too. Most exciting thing will be waking up...I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RED BEARD Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 To me its two weeks off work, to much food and drink, watching how excited my lad gets as Christmas day gets closer. Visiting relations I haven't seen all year. A few days out, and a chance to get things done at home. Things I hate about Christmas are, how early on in starts (the week before Christmas day is about the right time to start getting festive.
