Comments

  • 1. Dickens' A Christmas Carol but only the Muppet version.

    2. If I promise to be good can I kill both of them, preferably with a broken Coca Cola bottle.

    3. New Year

    4. Just for the retailers

    5. Doesn't matter as there is no way on earth I'd be allowed to go.

    6. Carols as I can generally escape them but there's no escaping Slade, Wham and Band Aid!
  • 1. Dickens' A Christmas Carol OR It's a Wonderful Life? Both

    2. Santa Claus OR Father Christmas Don't care what he's called3. New Year OR Christmas Day? Xmas Day

    4. Love it all OR It's just for the Kids? Love part of it - the non commercial stuff, and yes mainly about kids and family and friends.

    5. Football Games at the Valley on Christmas Day (stopped in 1958) - Bring 'em back OR No way. I'd love to go to footy on Xmas Day but not away, unless near.

    And as it is Christmas one extra present.

    6. Christmas Carols OR Christmas pop songs? I used to love Mark Lamarr's Xmas Day show, obscure Xmas songs by old R&B artists, ska, reggae and country. A lovely eclectic mix. Hate saccharine pop Xmas stuff, indifferent to carols.
  • 1. Dickens (although wonderful life is good)
    2. Father Christmas
    3. Christmas Day
    4. Love it, love it, love it!
    5. N/A, can't even make Boxing day games

    2. Father Xmas (have that Rob !)
    3. Christmas Day x100
    4. Love it
    5. No way, its a day for family
    6. pop songs, big up da Sister Sledge !
  • 1. Dickens' A Christmas Carol OR It's a Wonderful Life? Muppets Christmas Carol

    3. New Year OR Christmas Day? New Year (b'day NYD)

    4. Love it all OR It's just for the Kids? Love it

    5. Football Games at the Valley on Christmas Day (stopped in 1958) - Bring 'em back OR No way? No way

    6. Christmas Carols OR Christmas pop songs? Pop Songs
  • 1. It's a Wonderful Life

    2. Father Christmas

    3. Christmas Day?

    4. Love it all

    5. No way.

    And as it is Christmas one extra present.

    6. Christmas pop songs?
  • 1. Dickens' A Christmas Carol OR It's a Wonderful Life? A Christmas Carol, especially A Muppets Christmas Carol

    2. Santa Claus OR Father Christmas? SAAAANTA!

    3. New Year OR Christmas Day? Christmas - I hate New Year, it's almost always a let down - busy, expensive, you can't move on if somewhere is rubbish because it's all ticketed ad an anti-climax at midnight. Forced fun rubbish.

    4. Love it all OR It's just for the Kids? Love Christmas - good food, drinks, TV, time off work, everyone is cheerier.

    5. Football Games at the Valley on Christmas Day (stopped in 1958) - Bring 'em back OR No way? No way. Boxing Day is perfect - stil Christmassy, gets you out of the house, few drinks, home for cold turkey, bubble and squeak, cold bread sauce, trimming leftovers and nibbles.

    And as it is Christmas one extra present.

    6. Christmas Carols OR Christmas pop songs? Both. but pop songs justabout - Slade, Wham and the Pogues.
  • 1. It's a Wonderful Life. Probably seen it more times than any other film. Got great memories of seeing it at the BFI a few years ago. Jimmy Stewart is a legend.

    2. We seem to be using the name Santa Claus a lot but personally i prefer to call him Father Christmas.

    3. Neither really and I'm not going down the humbug route. It's just that these occasions always bring to mind good and bad memories.

    4. For the kids but at heart I'm one as well.

    5. I'd love it if they played on Christmas Day but I wouldn't be able to make the games as bus and train travel is suspended down here.

    6, Christmas pop songs but only the good ones.
  • Wonderful Life
    Father Christmas
    Christmas Day
    All
    No
    These Christmas songs
  • 1 A Christmas Carol.
    2 Neither...it's Santy where I'm from.
    3 Christmas Day.
    4 Don't love it all and its not all for the kids. A family time.
    5 No way.
    6 Older Christmas pop songs.
    Merry Christmas Henry :)

  • 1 Dickens (60's joke: "Do you like Dickens? I don't know I've never been to one")
    2 Father Christmas
    3 Christmas Day
    4 Kids
    5 Yes way
    6 Carols
  • 1) Both, if pushed, Dickens.
    2) Father Christmas
    3) Christmas Day
    4) Love the immediate build up and the day, spoils the magic if it starts too early.
    5) No, it's hard enough for some people to get away from family for boxing day, let alone Xmas day itself.
    6) Both, again if pushed, Carols (even though I am an atheist)
  • 1. It's a Wonderful Life - I'm in love with Donna Reed who played girlfriend/wife Mary. Top totty.

    2. Santa Claus

    3. Christmas Day )and Christmas Eve night, always magical.

    4. Love it all

    5. Football Games at the Valley on Christmas Day - NOOOOOO!! Boxing Day is just on the edge of d-able when the in-laws are around

    6. Christmas Carols - especially the very good choristers at Westminster Abbey, Kings College etc.
  • 1. Dickens' A Christmas Carol OR It's a Wonderful Life? Christmas Carol. Can't stick that pappy schmatzly tommy rot fro Frank Capra.

    2. Santa Claus OR Father Christmas. Father Christmas

    3. New Year OR Christmas Day? Christmas Day, New Year is the most overhyped day of nothingness on the calendar.

    4. Love it all OR It's just for the Kids? I love xmas.

    5. Football Games at the Valley on Christmas Day (stopped in 1958) - Bring 'em back OR No way. Nah, boxing day os my tradition.

    And as it is Christmas one extra present.

    6. Christmas Carols OR Christmas pop songs? Jingle Bell Rock by The Fall and that's about it.
  • Neither - despise Dickens, and IAWL is horrendous. Nightmare before Christmas instead.

    Father Christmas

    Christmas Day. NYE is always utter shit

    Kids. Christmas stopped meaning anything to me when I decided I wasn't having kids

    If I lived within walking distance, then yeah. Since it would be difficult for me to get there from 25 miles away with no trains and even less parking than usual, then sadly no.

    Carols. Christmas pop is the worst music invented ever
