Boxing Day was always the highlight- leftover turkey in a curry and a match to go to.

while i extoll the virtues of a turkey curry , im all about turkey and stuffing sandwiches with a ridiculous amount of butter on boxing day

I can see why they invented it, otherwise it would be a long dull winter without all the nice twinkly lights & stuff.

All the blame can be put onto Dickins.

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?

Oh fuck off, you fat hippy :)

Obviously for those of you with Kids, Christmas should be a magical time, and so it should be but:-

The question is really aimed at those without children, or if you do have kids, imagine you didn't, what would your answer be?

Personally, I think it's a load of overblown tosh, having to meet relatives (half of whom you can't stand), endless adverts on TV featuring Mary Berry carving a stupid turkey, and usually the weather is bloody freezing.

Bah humbug!

Down to just me and Mrs H this Christmas. Just gutted we haven’t a Boxing Day game to meet up with my friends.

So it’s a couple of days of boredom or maybe a game of golf if I can persuade Mrs H to go to her sister’s for Boxing Day. Turkey baguette for Xmas day lunch.

Hope all of you with kids, grandchildren and close family who are spending the day together enjoy the magical occasion it can and should be.

Having a week off work where no fucker is emailing me is worth its wait in gold. The week between Christmas and New Year is the only week of the year where I can find true peace.

The rest of it is just garnish but I have no particular issue with any of it. And I do enjoy eating my weight in cheese.

Should add, it’ll be just me, the Mrs and the dog this year. Bliss.

Because people are cunts, it’s easier to forget that for 1 day a year rather than 365 ;)

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

I retired last year but previously ran my own business for over 10 years. Last 4 years I took all the staff out for a pre Christmas lunch.

Didn’t cost me too much as it was only me and my blue mate Dave who worked for the company, just the 2 of us! Mind you he likes a drink and the lunch turned into tea time drinks then last orders.

He runs the business now so he can take me out.
