It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Everywhere I go There's a tree in The Grand Hotel And one in the square as well The kind that really doesn't mind the snow
Everyone knows who has got who and I have to ruin part of my day today buying some junk then wrap it up tonight and bring it on the train tomorrow all for the sake of present nobody will want.
This is why I could never have a dog. As much as I like them, I could not follow one around picking up shit. My sense of smell is very strong and it doesn't take much to make me gag.

Goes with the job, same as all the perks. Having a bath with JJ (not that one @Curb_It )
One of the things that is interesting about I'm a celebrity is how special everyday things are - like a piece of cheese or a pieceof chocolate. When we can have a piece of cheese etc... whenever we want it isn't so special. I think Christmas is a bit like that - when I think of some of the things I got, kids today would stick their noses up at them, but it was none the less special to me. My dad used to tell me that he got an orange, and that was really exciting for him.
The consumer society we live in has hijacked Christmas in that sense. Christmas is all about money and some even go into debt over it! You only get a real sense of the magic of it when children are very young. It is a bit sad when you think about it.
I love it due to being with family and friends, but it is all about the kids
Secret Santa as people have already mentioned. It might have been called Tacky Prezzies ( ffs) or something where I worked. It was an excuse to give people utterly shit pointless presents because that was " funny" One year I got a plastic model of the nativity scene. Then a sparkly thong. Then a plastic fish that sang "Merry Christmas" at me, till the battery died mid way through the first rendition. It was hilarious. In the end, as it was anonymous, I decided to buy completely unrelated non Christmas things. A sponge. A can of WD40. A bar of soap. There would be a slightly puzzled attempt at a laugh, but then the next present would be opened quickly. Yes, I was a miserable bastard about a bit of harmless fun, but you had no choice on it, we all had to do it, and you were seen as a miserable bastard if you didn't find it all hysterically funny. I thought at least the things I bought were a tiny bit useful, as opposed to a plastic model of a nativity scene, which was a straight in the bin. Sometimes, it would be handy if you could just quietly hold up a little card that said " Sorry, I've had a Humour bypass, have a great time all of you, but just count me out, no hard feelings either way eh." Actually, thinking about it, it would have to be a pretty large card to fit that all on!
I've noticed that you've explained what happened to the plastic fish and the nativity scene but you seem to be keeping quiet about the fate of the sparkly thong.
For me it is spending time with my family and friend - where people step away from work, switch off their personal stresses, turn off their stupid iPhones and spend quality time together.

Nobody should alone at Christmas, except in- laws
The thing I like best is getting my family together with my brother's family.
Everywhere I go
There's a tree in The Grand Hotel
And one in the square as well

Notwithstanding of the fact that I'm on a train to the middle of nowhere...A fucking south eastern train as well.
