BAA HUMBUG...................:roll:

Sssh... the Christmas Police are listening.

I think we might have found you a friend...........JABBERWOCKY WHERE ARE YOU? :hihi: :hihi:

Me too Pinkace...for many reasons. I have one MAJOR reason why this should be my best Christmas ever, but as it stands, I just wish it would pass me by.

Why should you? Its only early. See how you feel on the 22nd when work finishes (if it does). I've got exams, essays and performances to finish at uni, so i've got more on my mind right now than who i'm gonna send cards too.

Is because you have to spend the day with people you’d rather not, and spend lots of money you don’t have on presents and receive a load of usless c*ap in return?

It's too early!

Give it until teh 21st December - then atke it from there.

List a few things YOU want to do for yourself, or some things you'd like, and buy yourself presents! Don't feel pressured in to enjoying Christmas because youfeel you have to - just let it come!

Good Luck!

You know I felt just like this up to two years ago.I used to loathe Christmas,decorations,cards,shopping and most of all cooking Christmas dinner. Then my mom died, and I realised that each Christmas Id had her for dinner, and suddenly she wasnt there. I didnt want to waste hating any more Christmases,and started to see the beauty in Christmas. Just enjoy it wether with family or on your own.Next year like the 16yr girl with Leukemia who wanted to spend her last Christmas with her family,we may not be here.

Sssh... the Christmas Police are listening.
Don't you mean the Winter Celebrationists? :hihi:

Well said...

I do agree though that things can be so stressful, the real beauty of christmas is lost with the stress that the commercial arena brings. However, for most people, it is about spending time with families and even though there are probably more arguments and tension on christmas day (!) it is one of those days where most families at least spend it together. I can't wait for christmas to spend it with my family and relatives who live at the other side of the world...it's about seeing the smiles on my little ones faces with the wrapping paper and lights (not even the presents!!!)...

Im here!

Do you watch 'Futurama', Jabberwocky?

You might enjoy joining in with a few verses of 'Santa Claus is gunning you down!'

"He knows when you are sleeping,
He knows you're on the can,
He'll hunt you down and blast your ass from here to Pakistan.
You better not breathe, you better not move,
You're better off dead, I'm telling you, dude.
Santa Claus is gunning you down!"

Killed only by the fact that it was becoming more popular than simpsons, (so i heard)

personally, i love both.

Perhaps because the 'festival' is still a fortnight away ? The hype starts much too early these days, - when I was a kid the decorations didn't go up until Christmas Eve, and the 'shopping' would not have been done until just a couple of days before that. The only early indication of Christmas was the making of the Christmas pud and cake, which was done about this time.

There's just too much pressure in the media and in the shops which seems to get into top gear from 1st. December and I'm sure it's starting to put a lot of people off.

Don't you mean the Winter Celebrationists? :hihi:
Absolutely!

i'm not feeling very 'wintery' either. put my tree up just so neighbours dont think im letting the street down (:loopy: ) bought cards cos i've got a pile stacking up that i really should return one to (:suspect: ) bought presents cos shes only 2 and very easy to buy for, everyone else can have money(:rant: ) been listening to christmas songs, cos i got put on hold for 20 minutes and i had no choice (:gag: ) .

jabber, think i'm joining you!!

this my last year of being un xmassy, no tree or decorations to spoil mu recently decorated front room, i will send about 10 cards to my/hubbys family i will get my 5 youngest neices/nephews a bit of something and thats that. im also going to get my xmas dinner from aldi.

next year i will have a 6 mnth old baby to entertain, i think i might decend on one of my sisters!!

I hate xmas with a passion, always have always will do, last year the tree didn't even make it out of the box :suspect: whats the odds of it making it out this year?

Last few years I haven't enjoyed Christmas at all. Just not been able to get into the swing of it one bit.

I dont feel very christmasy either.

I have done the cards for work, but thats all :o

Not even thought about pressies or if I have a crimbo tree and decorations.

But then I am always a late one for crimbo, maybe it will "kick in" on the 20th of Dec :thumbsup:

Im so glad not to be the only one.......You know what i think i am going to have a barbie, get the heater on, music playing and spend the day like a lovely August afternoon...:hihi:

Anybody else fancy joining pinkace, Jabberwocky, and me this Christmas.

We can start the festivities(?) by stoning the carol singers on three streets of our choice. We can then move on to disconnecting the lights on all the houses, then if it snows we can pee all over so that when everyone gets up it will be yellow.

The best bit though will be when we buy up all the batteries from all the local Patels', Singhs' etc in Sheffield so that there are none for dads to buy at 8.30am in the morning. Oh, how we'll laugh. :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

Merry soddin' Christmas.:( :(
