Yes to all of the above, and I love 'em all apart from the bl@@dy cold!

Its my busiest time up until between Xmas and New Year, when its really quiet. I love the busy bit, doing all the numbers and hoping to hit target.

And once everyone's broke for the hols its mega quiet - the phone doesn't ring, love it.

SWMBO loves doing the tree, aaahh peace and quiet.

And I love Xmas lights!!!

Hate taking the bike out in the cold... its in the garage for the next few weeks/months. Yeah, I know, fair weather biker/tart/wuss!

Don't like the commercialism and the pressure put on parents by the constant bombardment of adverts for the latest 'must-have' toys.

Do begrudge having to save 3 days holiday for the shut-down. I would rather have my holiday in the summer!

Do love the Toy Runs and seeing the kiddies faces at the spectacle. That's the best part about Christmas for us.

Love the day, hate some of the build up. Enjoy having a nice day with lots of food with the family.

Kwak, do you hate the period or the day?
