Christmas

I'll be back by then Shelly. Setting off Monday very early, returning Wednesday by plane into Luton.

Christmas was ok when I was living with my kids, but nowadays I let them get on with it - maybe I'll pop round and say hello, but never see my eldest on xmas day because she's always abroad for it (she hates it as much as I do). I always buy each one of them something special, but I haven't bought a present for anyone else in ages. I try to work it so I'm single at Christmas and save myself a fortune.

You misery guts!

Yes it can be an expensive time of year and yes the real meaning of xmas is forgotten but i love christmas

I always look forward to xmas because its time with my family. I hate the build up...next year, I won't be giving out any xmas lists when people ask what I want because its such a faff to think of anything. That way, I can spend more time thinking what to get people.

well your welcome down here loz me man!

I enjoyed it when the kids were litte, but havent done it for the last 3 or so years.

Its great I have no stress when all about me everyone's panicking about Christmas! All I have to do is buy a card for the kids and grandson, tokens for the kids and a toy or two for the grandson

We'll nip out at the weekend and buy a turkey crown and the ol man will cook the dinner on Christmas day while I put me feet up

Ha ha ha funny I had this conversation with the other half, said we could fall out over Xmas and make up in January, his face was a picture

I think he knew I meant it too !! Bless wouldn't be without him over Xmas !! (he is the dog sitter LOL ............. joke hun!)

I'm dreading it this year. Been off work after gallbladder op, then fell and broke 2 ribs so can't drive or go shopping. Have done a bit online but it's not the same -like getting lots of little things.

I was the same last year, one arm good and one broken, a boyfriend that walked out on me and I really was christmassy at all.

It is the thought that counts and as I found last year, everyone was happy I had managed to make the effort on the net and I felt OK about pressies.

You will just have to spend double on next years pressies LOL xx sure it will be brill
