Do you like Christmas?

All about xmas day dinner for me with Mrs Booth. Always a cracking meal. Love making it for her and she loves eating it. Fuck once a year pub wankers as well.

I enjoy the build up to it, 1st Dec at the earliest of course. And xmas eve is the best night out of the year if you don't have kids and live close to your mates (Sadly moved to other side of GM so logistics of it became a bit of a pain for me). Christmas day is overhyped and overrated, the telly is shite but someone insists on sticking it on for the xmas "specials" and you basically just eat a sunday roast with a bit extra.

I hate the over the top commercialization of it (Christmas does not start in November, seen some sick fucks with trees up already) and I hate the christmas pub cunts who don't understand how a pub works (sick fucks ordering a Guinness last right before paying)

My son was too young to notice anything last year so be interesting to see if he gets it a bit more this year.

For those of us who celebrate Yule, yes.

Unfortunately I was never lucky enough to have children of my own but have nephews and nieces and great nephews and nieces. Many of my family say my sense of humour is childish anyhow so yes, I love Christmas, but only in December.

I was brought up not to celebrate Christmas. All I see is rapacious marketing making people spend money for shit they can't afford.

The story is supposed to be love and respect your fellow human. Why can't we do that 365 days of the year instead of just 1?

Fuck off big nose.

a works do is the 7th circle of hell for me, its the forced jollity of it that i hate and pretending you like people that are obnoxious cunts

Apart from getting a blow job from Susan in accounts 3 years in a row I agree.

It is Christmas Day in the Workhouse,
And the cold bare walls are bright
With garlands of green and holly,
And the place is a pleasant sight;
For with clean-washed hands and faces,
In a long and hungry line
The paupers sit at the tables,
For this is the hour they dine.

Not since my dotter reached the age where the magic vanished, over-priced over-hyped shite most of the time, and a great excuse to roll out shite xmas films (along with the odd classic)

You've got magical years to come with your son around Xmas. I am jealous but just a little.

agreed, the one good thing about IR35 was, as a freelancer, I was able to decline invitations to clients work do's on the basis the taxman would use it as an indicator of employment. Prior to that I used to develop seasonal bowel disorder on the day
