Do you like Christmas?

I can hardly wait to watch The Great Escape, 22 Carry On Films and assorted sickly, sentimental American films with Santa and Dwarves in them.

I used to get pissed out of my head at Christmas but can't do it any more. (I get ill long before I get intoxicated, and shitting through the eye of a needle is not my idea of fun.)

I just have childhood memories of Hornby Dublo boxes with their distinctive smell. But you know what, being a kid is like being a cat or a dog. You have no agency, and your happiness depends almost entirely on whether you have a good home or not. I was lucky, but I always think of those who were not - and are not. It must be pretty shit at Christmas if you're a kid in a cruel or abusive home.

Ah, well. It's just me and the missus. We won't be having turkey as I hate it. But we will be having a fucking good scran, and I have a bottle of 20-year-old port to open and drink with some nice cheese and biscuits. It could be a lot worse.
 
I like having a bit of time off work. I like crisp cold sunny days over the Christmas period (if we get 'em!). i like seeing friends, going for a walk and a pint or two. I like cooking with my wife. I like drinking a glass of wine pre-midday while the tunes are on. I like seeing my nephews. I really like festive football, especially non-league with a few mates. i dont even mind a few lights up, a bit of festive decoration.

i despise all the fucking supermarket corporate mental mayhem and repetitive shitty Christmas music bollocks. I think it's that Coca Cola Santa commercial rubbish that is the worst of Christmas. And i dont like the pressure that the festive period brings - you MUST see x y or z person. Must I?

It's all about time with friends and family that you like, and doing the Jesus stuff if you're into that game.
 
As time goes by i have become less and less interested. So much so that again this year will be no xmas tree again and wrapping presents can jog on. Xmas to me is two full roasts and seeing in the New Year.
