Merry Christmas everyone!

I'm appalled at you lot !!!! Christmas is not about how much money you should/have been spending or how drunk you can get or who you can shag at this year's office party ! smackbottom

It's supposed to be a celebration of Jesus' birth, goodwill to your fellow man, looking out for those less fortunate than you and all you are complaining about is decorations, booze, pressies and all that superficial, materialistic claptrap ! :shock:
Ah fuck it......................what you lot buying me then? :giggle:

Love Christmas, which is why it pisses me off that the shops start it off so early - there's just no way you can keep up the Christmas buzz for four months! My birthday's November 27th, so I always refuse to have any kind of Christmassy thoughts until after that, leaving me with under a month of Christmas cheer - just the right amount to be warm and fuzzy without driving me mad. lol

And I don't do the price tag thing, at all. I buy presents for my family, and I buy things they either need or will love, and some of them get a present worth five quid and some get something worth forty, I just spread the money I've got as well as I can between the presents I want to buy. If I buy anything for anyone else, it's because I saw something and thought they'd love it, and Christmas was a good excuse - I don't give people presents because I 'owe' them one.

OH what a lovely time of year its dark and cold n you can snuggle up on the sofa watchin telly until your hearts content i just love xmas but i do agree its to early to start advertising it but come 1st of december i turn my house into santas grotto stock up on drink and food (yes in that order lol)
i always have my xmas shopping done by june (i cant help it i was born an organised freak if you think i am bad you should see my mother) so never have that last minute dash although i still go for a look can get some good bargains
its the only time of year you can wear silly hats and jumpers 10 times to big with reindeer motifs on that your nan gave u as a present eat all the food that is bad for you and listen to the timeless sounds of noddy holder and the likes without losing all of your pride

I gave up on the turkey thing a couple of years ago and, amid wepping and wailing from the rest of the family, did rib-eye steaks with all the nrom Xmas trimmings. Dinner took 40 minutes (Oh I got frozen roast spuds too) and went down a treat so I've done it ever since.
My favorite Xmas treat - going round the shops muttering 'bloody rip off', 'earlier every year', 'how much??????' etc. Great fun.
One year I am going to spend Xmas in a lovely hotel being pampered and fed and snuggled up with fave person in front of a roaring fire that someone else lit for me.

Christmas is commercial exploitation on a grand scale. It gives bit retailers license to raise their prices during the summmer, then reduce them to the original price at christmas and claim its a sale.
I hate everything about it. Carol Singers feck off and learn to sing, Santa feck off and have a shave. Snow feck off and melt, dark nights feck off and become light, christmas songs feck off and sing your exploitative music somewhere else so proper musicans have a chance of showcasing real talent. Bollox to the lot of it.
Oh and we got halloween before that. A chance to make ourselves look stupid by dressing up in stupid costumes, and for kids to rob stupid American customs and go around terrorising old people.
Cant wait :cry:

have to agree with you there foxy on xmas day i do the cheat option a chicken instead of turkey tinned peas carrots frozen roasts puds etc saves loads of time and you enjoy it more i spend the day being lazy waching my son play with his new toys and plus i have all the family round on boxing day for xmas dinner with all the trimmings and a good drink so i refuse to make 2 xmas dinners xmas is supposed to be enjoyable not spent in a kitchen as for the price tag thing i dont count never have its much nicer to give a little thought and proberly not spend as much

Im soooo glad im not alone anymore!
Here was I thinking I was the only person in the world who refuses to believe the ads- you know the ones that try to convince you that you have to buy a hydro-electric solar powered foot massager costing Â£46 for your Aunty Doris' cousins sisters dog!
And the halloween thing.....FFS! Only a couple of years ago you could mabe find a pumpkin, fake blood and a mask- but last year it was overkill! Whole aisles devoted to ripping you off. The all essential spiderweb candle holder for the halloween party that you're throwing.
what? NOT throwing a halloween party? What is wrong with you? Mark my words- this year there will be even more dancing Frankenstein crap on the shelves- and before long we'll all just be assuming that we always "celebrated" halloween.

The Halloween thing is really starting to bug me - up here there was a great tradition called 'guising' where kids were expected to go around and sing a song or tell jokes or something in exchange for sweets. Now you get urban guerillas mugging you for mars bars and people thinking that if some ill-mannered lout shouts 'trick or treat', then it's all OK. evil

I don't go for all the christmas hype and hate it when they advertise toys in June to get the kids asking. Also when the shops start selling christmas items months early - but I have to admit, I love a bit of decoration in the days up to and after Christmas and I love seeing my kids faces on christmas day.
The rest however is usually an anti climax and the house is a tip full of toys !

Did I see easter eggs the other day?????? :twisted:
Really cheeses me off everything advertised and pushed at us so early!!
