Christmas

christmas is $hite

the only good thing about it ........ its an excuse to get pi$$ed
although, i dont realy need an excuse

Me and drew have got a token gift for everybody in the family, however having gone round to my parents on the weekend, I was told that all the presents wrapped in snowman paper where Eden's (my 7 week old niece)..........

That's all you could see was snowman paper!!!!!!!! My parents haven't gone this crazy over christmas since me and my sister where young. Even my sister things they have gone stupid!!!

I'm not really looking forward to christmas this year!

I'm going away, I managed to stop seeing family at Christmas years ago. Mum still has a dig now about it. For goodness sake, I've got a brother and sister so it's not like it should be down to me to entertain them.

But I'm planning on going away every year now, only to Wales, but peace and quiet with just me and Evie. Mr Lou is staying at home to cat sit, he hates Christmas and would prefer to be on his own.

I kicked my ex-wife out and told her I wanted a divorce on 23rd of Decemeber so I'd have a good excuse not to buy her a chrstmas present.

Sod waiting til afterwards having spent loads of dosh on someone I didn't care about any more.

That was the best Christmas day I ever had. I sat at home and watched videos with my best mate and we got royally smashed off our faces on vodka and collapsed on the front room floor til Boxing day evening.

Scrooges... the lot of you are.

I love Christmas and everything about it but then I am celebrating the true meaning of Christmas. The birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.


Ok get ready to be sickened...

Christmas at my house begins the last weekend of Nov. and ends Jan. 1st. We have 4 Christmas trees at home and decorations in every room. We had my hot rod pickup in the local parade with another lighted tree in the back.
We go to parades, parties, concerts, plays, family get togethers, Church and more!!!
I have Chistmas lights up and another tree at work with Christmas music playing in the lobby/office... and even Christmas lights in the shop.


And yes ..The gift giving thing is only a small part of it.
And yes...It IS just the thought that counts.



But for you who absolutely hate the season (you know who you are) I would say....

Christmas..... like life and everything else in life (jobs, relationships, etc.) is what you make out of it.
You can choose to have a good time or not ..or choose to let comercialism, fussy relatives, etc. spoil it for you. Whatever..
Whether you have a good time or not ....It's really all up to you!


True if you're not a Christian there is no reason to celebrate...
but no need to be resentful of others if they are having a good time reguardless of their reasons for celebrating.



Lighten up a bit .org'ers and a have good time. Tis the season!





I'll be getting me coat now!!!

Bah - Christmas is just another of those lifetime hipocrisies to ease people's conscience and make them feel unjustifiably self-rightous and smug.

This so-called 'spirit of Christmas' is just like a dog y'know - it should be for life, not just until Boxing Day.

Oi. Too many on here saying they enjoyed it when the kids were small and now rubbish everyone who does enjoy it. I have a 10 year old daughter and we have bought her quite a bit and I will enjoy it with her and wifey. We will go to church, we will enjoy opening prezzies and we will enjoy having a few drinkies - and above all, we will enjoy having a rest.

But I have to work at it, because as a child Christmas was not so fun, my miserable father liked spoiling it for everyone - he would get blind drunk, refuse to eat dinner, and get in a filthy violent mood and it always would end in tears. Try as I might, I still can't forget what he did 40 years ago and as I type this I feel my eyes p/ricking cos he was such a b*stard. I just typed and deleted something else about him cos I decided that it wasn't in the spirit of Christmas but I will try my best to bury it in the interest of Sophie having Christmases that she remembers fondly when she's older

I enjoy the festive period, mainly down to being able to sit down with the family, see people happy, have some decent grub, get drunk by 3, then go down the pub and do the pub quiz And I come out of it with something which is a bonus

EDIT: Oh and the Queens speech will have to be fitted in.
