[Gazzer]

been there and got the t shirt also spent the day playing dad to other peoples kids and not even seeing my own, xmas can be a difficult time for a lot of people

Very true but there are always people who have it far worse.

:lol: neale you big scrooge. Get in the spirit lad!

I am with Neale on this, Christmas would get a big boot up the jacksie from me, its commercialised and its me me me me. Not joking when I say its all over the top.

If all the glamour was taken away, all the buy buy buy it might be a good thing.

Invented by the Victorians who also invented flamin birthday, wedding,christmas and every other sort of card you can imagine.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Godda celebrate something. I enjoy a good xmas bash. Had a few crap xmas' over the last few years but this one is going to be good for me.

Had tree up for 2 weeks this saturday coming. The missus and kids are xmas mental. The kids are only 2 and 4 so make a big thing of it for them but i cant stand it as long as i got plenty of booze and loads of grub im happy:lol:

 

[diamondtiling]

Yeah I agree, its for the kids but thats the limit for me, if you dont want to be controlled by whoever is pulling the strings then dont join in.

We didn't have one last year, actually, we opted out of Christmas all together and it was great, we had a mellow time off instead and just said no to it all, as long as there are children involved it's so different... anyhow, this year I'm feeling a bit confused, a bit Christmassy and a bit not... the trouble is I don't really believe the Christmas story, and I know the date is all wrong anyhow, real basis or not, the Catholic church changed it to fit in with pagan festivals and get support through that, bladibla, someone said they would neither want to kill a tree nor add to the plastic rubbish with an artificial one, UI wold have to agree with that, too, and ... bladibla again, yes, still confused as yet.... :lol:

next Christmas will be more exciting for me roll on next year. i just hope we get some snow in the lead up just to make it look proper winter christmassy :yesnod:

 

[Olz]

Ours went up this afternoon, we get an artificial one but end up buying a new one every year cos the missus wants one to match the furniture...lol

 

[brian c]

the kids want the tree up now but its just a bit too far away imo....some people put there tree up last week near me...mental.
