I love Christmas, before Covid I would go to Canada every second year and spend a month with the granddaughters over there. The next year with the family here, grandchildren, great-grandchildren...... plus their parents of course, well I had to say hello to them, they were really the ones putting me up....... or should that be putting up with me?
Festivities and the food, oh the food. I still always made sure I bought Christmas food and froze it to cook my own Christmas dinner when I came home. I used to love cooking Christmas dinner. But the family like to wait on me so who am I to complain. They do let me empty the dishwasher but that's all!! :-) :-)
I bought (& ate) my first mince pies in October. Just bought some more this morning that will probably last a week. Used to make my own but not worth it for just me.
Bring it on. Come on Christmas. :-) :-)

It's a load of bollocks really.
What the fucks a tree and barbles got to do with apparently baby Jesus being born?
I genuinely feel sorry for anyone on their own at Christmas and New Year's.
Must be a fucking shit time.

Called a grinch……I’d wear it as a badge of honournot been to one in years, i always schedule my holidays around them, like i said its just the forced nature of everything around it thats difficult, christmas is actually a really tough time for some people and if u dont partake u get called a grinch etc

Love it - except for the incessant drive to buy buy buy!
Love it, every aspect of it except for the booze, as I'm not a drinker. I've just started eating Christmas Puddings given to me last Christmas, and I'm a connoisseur of mince pies. The best are the ones from the Manchester Christmas Markets, with loads of juicy mince and good firm pastry.
I've already played a few Christmas playlists, starting with carols and classical favourites. I'll probably take in a classical concert or a carol concert at The Bridgwater Hall. I'll soon read Christmas books like A Christmas Carol to set the mood.
Christmas shopping is well under way, with further visits planned to London, York and Chester Christmas Markets, and other places.
Christmas Day is the main highlight, with family round for dinner, and church in the morning to celebrate the birth of Jesus, and we have a host of other activities at the church I attend.
But if I wasn't into Christmas, or had no children or grandkids to pamper, I think I'd be looking to go away for a short break somewhere warm. Or I might go away somewhere nice (or London maybe) to look after someone's house and pets, and a free getaway.

No fucking way, lolKaz, can’t you invite one of your many admirers on here to join you for Christmas Day Dinner? Can’t beat a shandy on Christmas Day on the South Coast, what’s not to like?
