Christmas humbug thread

i tend to think Christmas starts in the middle of summer when you start seeing mince pies in the supermarkets again... or is that just me? :P

anyway, i'm not that fussed about Christmas to be honest, just another day for me.

Pretty sure you're excluding a group there you bigot, you!

"I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I'm ******* retarded but I don't care, I'm beautiful. I'm having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me "Apache" and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can't accept me you're a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding."
 
I heard my first proper Christmas tunes last weekend at a Christmas craft & food fair. Every year I remember where I first hear "Stop the cavalry" and "Fairytale of New York". Just need to hear a Sally Army brass band now. :)

The town here had the christmas lights switch officially turned on this saturday.
Several people have the christmas decorations up already... Animated ones on the outside of the house.

Tempted to go knock on their doors and ask if they know when christmas is.
 
Can't be bothered with Christmas this year but still need to make the effort to get my SO some gifts as I know she has got me some stuff.

Vouchers. Nailed it.



Edit.
Why do people buy vouchers? Its like giving money with terms and conditions on it, as if that's a good thing. Just give the money if you arent buying a gift, don't make it hard to spend.
 
Christmas is a very, very, very depressing time of year for me. To the point where I sometimes think I would rather cut my own wrists than have to go through the miserable process.

This is what happens when you have only your mother and aunt left, after countless family deaths, and they are all single, old, and suffer crippling depression, and none of you like Christmas or are particularly social in any way.

I dread it every year.

you only dread Christmas because of your perception of what everyone else is doing, which is fair enough, I do the same.

The problem is in reality our perception is real for a small number of families,

Also imagine having to sit there watching rubbish on the box pretending to be interested in people who are either telling you how well they are doing or how difficult it all is.

Perception reinforced by tv ads and the media generally has a lot to answer for, but then real life doesn't sell.
Just chill out and do what you want, the daily grind will return soon enough.
 
Christmas when a kid = prezzies
Christmas when teenager = parties
Christmas when parent of kids = pleasure of giving
Christmas when old, single and kids grown up ?????

I really can't stand it any more. Shopping, crowds, same old cheesy songs year after year, the family still need presents though so back into debt.
 
Christmas is what you make of it. I use to hate Christmas as i tend to dread the Christmas day get together but I now treat the day like most days off. Go to gym in the morning, have Christmas dinner, drink and do some gaming - possibly see some friends in the evening.

My favourite things about Christmas is the yearly Christmas eve pub crawl where you regularly see the old faces, the boxing day meal where i take every roast meat and make a huge fried rice and the messy Christmas dinner between friends we normally host earlier in the month.

Grandkids? Spend the day at the the son/daughter's and get spoilt? Or just stay home, cook something nice and put your feet up in front of the fire. :)
