The time is almost upon us once again, we have to go to the kids for crimble this years, NOT looking forwards to that at all, can't think of an excuse to get out of it, it'll be a total disaster with Liz running around trying to put out fires, roll on New Year when I can get back to not showing goodwill to all tossers. I suppose you lot are really looking forward to it again, I enjoy the spirit of Crimble, it just gets out of hand, every year it get's worser and worserer. We've had Crimble music on the feckin radio for over a week, Bah creme de menthe (you get your mint your way, I'll get it my way) maybe getting pissed might get me out of it, at least for a little while. Meanwhile a little Poll to express your feelings

Christmas was great for me as a kid back in the 50s, but now it's just a commercial gutbuster. spend spend spend, eat eat eat, drink drink drink, waste waste waste, argue argue argue. The Christmas spirit is only really alive in the dwindling religious community, the largely secular society of today see it as an excuse for a holiday and period of over-indulgence.
Me, as a miserable old git, I just switch off to it all and do my usual thing of cussing at the stupid shoppers with their overflowing trolleys getting in my way.
Now I have a MH I'm thinking of parking next to a beach in Cornwall and watching the waves crash in for a day or two. Anyone want to join me?

I live Christmas because I get loads of presents. I like Christmas because I no longer cook the dinner, wash up or do anything. I like Christmas as I only have presents for wifey to buy as she does all the rest and with 5 children and their partners, eleven grandchildren it does take a few days of shopping but i sit in the car.
I don't like New Year as nothing happens and I am normally asleep anyway and I don't like Easter as I am not too keen on chocolate. Like Hot X buns though.

We're off to Spain on the 17th of next month to get away from it, mind you they go in for it down there as well but at least we get away from the family. In a super market in Aguilas last year and overheard a brit couple complaining there were no brussles.........sad buggers.

I ferkin hate it. We always go away but Mrs D likes to do Christmas stuff. Markets, lights and decorations in the van FFS!
Christmas music is just depressing. Even that advert with the bear and the rabbit makes you want to f'ing cry! Wheres the fun in that?
You cant buy anything in the shops and supermarkets cos everyone is there stocking up like WW3 is coming or something.
Nah. Stuff it. Cant wait till its over.

Another one here who hates it. I have spent my happiest Xmases in Muslim countries.
