Its Not Christmas Without.......
Sex God
Quote by Lostyup your right wise words lost
I used to hate Christmas but learnt a great lesson when i saw my children cry on the 21st of December 2005 I cried too. People are the most important things in the world. The season of goodwill I understand these days, and regardless of the commercialsm that happens on all occasions from xmas to and weddings, funerals etc Christmas above all should be about people. I take joy in the people i know and thank nature for being priviledged enough to be able to do that. I miss loved ones who have passed away. Though its a time I use for reflecting in the knowing of them not of the passing.

Otherwise that first cup of coffee with the kids begging to break into a frenzied attack on their Christmmas stockings (which btw get smaller in size but a lot more £) I really do like to make them wait :twisted:
tell me about that one son will be dissappointed xmas morning as he only has half a sack but £ terms have prob spent the most ever on him
but ive ticked his wish list bar one so fingers crossed he not to dissapointed Quote by jaymar

This is my 1st christmas without my dad
however........
Christmas isnt Christmas without
Soap on a rope
Hankies
loads and loads and loads of smellies
and most important of all...................... (my aunt used to get me these every yr without fail lol...still makes me smile thinking about it)
Amercian tan tights (3 pairs.. and....wait for it.........
2 underskirts....polyester!!!!
Big hugs for you merrywidowmaker
:kiss: I know what thats like babe. It will be hard, but focus on all the good christmases you had with your dad, and have an extra dram of something to toast his memory hun xxxx :therethere: :therethere: Christmas for us is about going and choosing our Christmas Tree, sending greetings to all our friends, snuggling up and watching 'Its a wonderful life' on DVD.............having lost a child to a wicked illness, its also about living life to the full, to have compassion and humanity and remembering how lucky we are to have what we have - each other....
A barbie on the beach!!! Yeah well thats what I grew up with. When I came over here to live I really missed family at Christmas. Now there are so few left I still miss Christmas without Mum and Dad and always miss talking to them.
However I found that Christmas is not Christmas without children. Love em or hate em their exuberance and excitement makes my day.

Having a conversation with a colleague the other day, as we were being served the staff christmas dinner, she made me eat a sproutand informed me that it wouldnt be a christmas dinner if it didnt have sprouts
So, Whats the one thing you HAVE to have at Christmas??
The one thing that you think...well it wouldnt be christmas without it, or that you dont have at any other time, bit christmas just wouldnt be right if you didnt have it?
Mine would be prawn cocktail with brown bread triangles......I never have brown bread at any other time :lol: but I HAVE to have it with my christmas prawn cocktail, or it doesnt feel right....oh and snow...it doesnt feel 'quite' right until it snows just like on those christmas cards
Would not be Christmas without seeing my lovely Grandaughter opening her prezzies!! Also Christmas Eve when for a change everyone seems to be in a good mood, even around the shops. Must be the feel good factor I suppose. Merry Christmas everyone.
Jim Reeves singing Silver Bells :karaoke:
Flaming Xmas pud with a brandy sauce to send you over the drink drive limit :shock:
Mum's retarded dog wearing his 'Dogfather' coat :lol2:
Getting something with a cat on from an elderly aunt
Timing lunch just as Top Of The Pops starts ( every bloody year! :roll: )
A toast 'to absent friends' :cry:
Aforementioned retarded dog trying to eat the Xmas wrap you've just ripped off the pressies
Cold turkey and pickles in the evening ( despite the fact that you're not hungry, you just HAVE to eat it )
Swapping books with my sis that my brother always gives to the wrong person
Someone ALWAYS saying 'well, that's over for another year'!( it was invariably my Dad :roll: )
Die Hard/Great Escape/Bridge On The River Kwai - any of them shown at peak time or worse still, all three! :scared:
Holiday ads on Boxing Day
Boxing Day sales ads ( do people actually have money left over to refurbish the entire house? )
The feeling of guilt that you've missed someone for a gift, that you haven't spent enough on the kids/in laws/couson's wife's brother-in-law or that the Earth will stop spinning if the napkins aren't folded in the correct way. I know people like this and to them I have this message. These days you don't have to believe in Christ to celebrate Christmas ( a bit of a misnomer yes but that's the way of the world these days ) Use this time to drum into your kids that Christmas is a time of giving, whether it be your money, gifts or time.
Here's something for everyone to try next year and I guarantee you will feel better for it.
Set a price limit for each person AND STICK TO IT!!!
Find a charity that accepts gift boxes for orphaned children and donate one - fill it with colouring books, socks, small dolls, jigsaw puzzles, toiltries etc. It could cost less than £5 but make the world of difference to a child who would not normally recieve a gift.
Do a stall at a charity church fair or better still, a boot sale then donate the proceeds to your favorite charity
Don't buy cards ( unless they're charity cards ) but get your kids to make them instead. They'll have hours of fun and it's much more personal than shop bought.
Set aside a couple of hours to doing volunteer work - it can be at the local homeless shelter, helping out at the school or church nativity play or carol service or even a coffee morning.
Do any one of those and I guarantee you will feel so much better in yourself, your outlook and priorities will change and of course, you'll be keeping the tradition of the spirit of Christmas alive

I always respect your views Mrs. B, but on this occassion, I cannot see what is traditional about prawn cocktail at Christmas?
I just LUV sprouts, at any time of the year.
Plim :D :lol:

The dearly departed or absent family and friends goes without saying so at 2pm - Absent friends
Other than that:
Proper cooked food not from packets/tins/freezers (with some exceptions but as a generalisation)
Carol singers/singing/services
Proper bread sauce (not packet shite)
Sprouts (sorry but it's traditional)
Nuts
Satsumas
Excited kids
Making and eating Mince pies
Making and eating Sausage rolls
Smoked salmon
Cosy house
Being together
Remembering past Christmasses (even if they do make you cry/feel sad because of loss - embrace it)

Plim hun, my OP wasnt about tradition, it was about what each of us felt that defined or epitomised christmas for us.
and I say sprouts should be BANNED!!! :lol:
I thought it would be a fantastic idea to go and do my christmas food shop at 1 minute past midnight (as soon as the store opened) at Asda on sunday night going onto monday morning.
Thinking this would be a fool proof way top beat the crowds. Not a flipping chance!!
We pulled into the car park at 1/4 to midnight, with 10 cars in the carpark. By midnight there were around a hundred cars, and a queue of around 200 people waiting to get in! :shock:
It was absolutely chocka in there, there was no cabbage, no sprouts, NO packet bread sauce, and the lady on the tannoy gaily informed to stresses shoppers every 10 minutes, that, due to sunday trading laws, NO alcohol could be sold, and neither could anyhting containing alcohol, such as liqueurs and brandy butter. So all my christmas drinks, and last minute presents of boxes of liqueurs went out of the window.
So I had to set the alarm early, AND go out into the christmas eve crowds anyway to get all the bits that were missing from my list!
And for the record....I STILL couldnt get my damn packet bread sauce :lol: :lol:
