Christmas is great ....... Ya can get pissed with a tree in the house

Christmas is for the kids. its the parents that get it in the neck when they have to get the present that every one wants ie nintendo WII or what ever its called) Every year its the hotest toy that there is a sudden surge of buyers and not enough of them in the stores . Rememeber the cabbage patch dolls.. The PS3 fiasco... The only really good thing about christmas is that after christmas its the sales. I am shure there be plenty of satellite recievers bargains. Look at ALDI/LIDL and see what they have to offer.. regarding this.. This year i will be buying or signing up for a satellite deal . then going for the freesat later in the year.. anyway wish everyone in the forum merry christmas and try not to spend too much !

Do not celebrate it, do not like it, too commercialised but good to have a couple of extra days off work and visit family and friends.
Should be more about charity and compassion not greed, gluttony and presents

Love it..

for me, its always been the only time of year, that family comes first... dont get me wrong, family is important all year round, but christmas is the only time i put work last.. and family 1st

i have a month off every year..... i love christmas ;)

Drink too much, eat too much, err what was the question again??

I agree, I always head off to France to see my sister, have a great family time and get through a lot of food and drink. It does tend to be the time of year when you make a point of seeing friends and family.

Bah and bloody humbug!
May be that i'm a little strange, but i do not celebrate christmas as it is...christmas for me is in 7th January, but that i don't celebrate either...so for me matters more the beginning of the year(31 december->1st january).

I too think it's too commercialised these days, and the TV makes kids demand the most expensive thing going that they'll only play with for a few days then break it... :mad:

But afterwards it's better as everything is cheaper all of a sudden...

 

[Saturlight]

Christmas is great if you're a miser like me. I don't buy presents and enjoy all the good will of Christmas.

 

[Salty25]

I think as you get older, you appreciate the company and special food more than the presents. Having said that, I've enjoyed buying presents for others more this year, now that I've got a bit more money to spend.

Love it myself. In fact I like it MUCH more than New Year which I always think is full of too much false bonhommie.

Christmas is for kids, New year is for adults, well thats the way ive always thought of it.

Christmas week i go out of my way to make sure all the kids are smiling and happy.

I have great memories of christmas when i was a kid, and i try to make my kids enjoy it the same way... how i used to be excited as a kid, i now feel through my kids.

When they scream with delight when they open a present.... i feel good too. for 2 reasons
1, I remember how it felf when i was in their shoes
2, The little effort i put in made my kids so happy, seeing there little faces light up made it all worth while.

Christmas is the only time of year people go out of there way to be nice and try to make people happy... how can you not enjoy that
new year its party time and we all get drunk
