I actually quite lke Christmas, ultimately who doesn't,
That'd be me. I'd quite cheerfully sod off and ignore the whole thing but the wife is very keen on it for some reason so we have to go through Christmas By Numbers every year. Same things with same people every bloody year.
BAH HUMBUG!!
Me too i would rather just not be involved with it. One year i told everybody to not get me anything or if they felt they must just give some money to charity. I got a massive bag full of shit i don't want or need.
I'll choose when i want to buy somebody a present thanks.
And while we're on the subject why the flying fig do we have to have Turkey? We don't eat it the rest of the year. Why? Because it's rubbish.

Also, Santa was a Turkish Bishop, who, according to legend would instruct his "helpers" (ie slaves) to beat you and abduct you if you had been bad. Now thats a proper Father Christmas. Ho ho ho.
The Great Escape was on TV earlier this week.. Every body knows this should be on over the festive period! TV schedulers have no sense of tradition! It is a nice long film we know inside out during which we old uns can have a nap and not miss anything.

This is something that I bring up every year with 'er indoors. She absolutely insists we have to have turkey but that is the only time we eat it throughout the entire year. If it's that bloody good why aren't we having it every week? I suspect our turkey might have an unfortunate accident and I might need to dash out at the last minute to buy something that isn't dry and unappetising.
I LOVE Christmas!!! I also LOVE turkey and sprouts, so try to get in as many "traditional" Christmas dinners as I can. I love buying presents for people and spending hours wrapping them up whilst enjoying a glass of wine with Christmas songs playing. I love opening presents from family, despite the fact that obviously none of them know absolutely anything about me judging from their choices! I like seeing all the houses lit up, but not before 1st December at the earliest. Christmas, best time of the year :-)
I love Christmas and all its many, many traditions but hate the way it's marketed so heavily from October onwards. Leave the adverts and decs etc until the last week of November at the very earliest. By the time it's here we've had 2 months of songs, adverts and we're all sick to death of it. Bluewater are also doing their big switch on tonight so there will be traffic chaos and fireworks galore. We don't start celebrating Easter in February do we?
Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall? It's the time that every Santa has a ball Does he ride a red nosed reindeer? Does a 'ton up' on his sleigh Do the fairies keep him sober for a day? Chorus: So here it is merry Christmas Everybody's having fun Look to the future now It's only just begun Are you waiting for the family to arrive? Are you sure you got the room to spare inside? Does your granny always tell ya that the old songs are the best? Then she's up and rock 'n' rollin' with the rest Chorus: So here it is merry Christmas Everybody's having fun Look to the future now It's only just begun What will your daddy do When he sees your Mama kissin' Santa Claus? Ah ah Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall? Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall? Do you ride on down the hillside in a buggy you have made? When you land upon your head then you've been slayed Chorus (3x) So here it is merry Christmas Everybody's having fun Look to the future now It's only just begun
Dont get me wrong, i love christmas etc etc but come on, people who live around the corner from me have all the decorations and lights up already! Its only 17th November for god sake! I understand why Oxford St etc have their lights up because of Tourists but in a road in Welling is a bit over-the-top.
give it a couple of years and your neighbours will be dragged off to jail as Carbon Wasters/Planet Warming Deniers

Listen:
Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
It's the time that every Santa has a ball
Does he ride a red nosed reindeer?
Does a 'ton up' on his sleigh
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?
Chorus:
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
Are you waiting for the family to arrive?
Are you sure you got the room to spare inside?
Does your granny always tell ya that the old songs are the best?
Then she's up and rock 'n' rollin' with the rest
Chorus:
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
What will your daddy do
When he sees your Mama kissin' Santa Claus?
Ah ah
Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall?
Do you ride on down the hillside in a buggy you have made?
When you land upon your head then you've been slayed
Chorus (3x)
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
