SilverWolfe Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 There's no escaping it. Shops are blasting the Christmas tunes. Despite it being over a month away the shadow of the festive season is looming large. So much to look forward to... Bellends in Christmas jumpers. Marital breakdowns. Baby Jesus. School nativity plays. Seeing relatives. Anyone with kids aged 1-10 will be spending the entire day opening battery compartments, building tat and looking for tiny screwdrivers. Piles of rubbish and recycling. Even longer editions of shite soap operas. A fucking tree taking over the living room. Anyone else hate Christmas? Just me? Feel free to express any festive gripes here. Sounds amazing. P.s I'm a bellend! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finch road Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Christmas is outstanding. I'm working again right through from the 23rd -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonHMFC Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 My festive cheer is purely decided upon my working schedule. For example this year, Christmas can GTF. I am working up until the 24th, back in on the 27th through till the 2nd. Worst thing is, I can't even get to any football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtie78 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Not even bothered about Christmas Day itself tbh, two weeks off work much more worth looking forward to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Good things about Christmas: Food Booze 2 weeks off work (22nd right through to the 8th this year) Seeing family you maybe don't see often There's usually a lot of football on Shite things about Christmas: Non-religious people telling you to enjoy yourself and get into the "Christmas Spirit" (that goes for religious people too tbh, but I find it more annoying coming from a non-religious person) Being hounded to fill my house with fake trees and tacky decorations "cause it's Christmas" Buying people gifts they inevitably think are shite and don't use Receiving gifts which are inevitably shite which I won't use The music played constantly in every public place Television - it's a complete myth that Christmas TV is amazing, it's utter shite that's been repeated since the dawn of time Pubs filled with bawbags From that extensive list there and more cons than pros leading me to the conclusion that I don't really like Christmas (hate is a strong word). If it weren't for my close family I genuinely wouldn't "celebrate" Christmas at all, yet when I say I'm not religious and I don't celebrate Christmas I get the look of a dog staring at a ceiling fan wondering how the f**k it works. Folk who try to force you to be happy at this time of year can f**k right off though, I don't pick and choose when I'm happy, I just am. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskychimp Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Christmas is brilliant. Opening presents with the wee one. She's young enough to still be impressed by pound shop tat. Booze in the morning. Loads of sweeties. Cake on offer constantly. Seeing the family. Playing board games Brilliant. Much better than a few years ago when it was just me and my parents opening 2 shite presents each before trying to pass the day until bed time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I like Christmas and everything about it, more so since our granddaughter was born. A wee bit of the shine taken off yesterday when she refused to believe me when I told her that I went to school with Santa Claus. She used to believe such stories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Well my Boxing Day plan of drink and footballs out of the window. Apparently I’m to go to my girlfriends grannies for Boxing Day, because she was in tears last night that my girlfriends choosing to spend Christmas with my family. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ2 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Pros of Christmas; bevy, nights out, off work, loads of football. Cons of Christmas; town mobbed with arseholes, give/get shite presents that nobody really wants, expensive, too much time in folks company you avoid most the year, makes me wonder what the f**k I’m doing with my life. Fairly mixed tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Moz the monster reminds me of that Simpsons clip when there is a boardroom conference and the boss of the company says "Try and come out with something that can make us a lot of money, like "Love day" but not as corny" and then in the next scene Marge is saying "Happy love day everyone!" Just a completely shamelessly lazy attempt at grabbing the hearts of our nations children. If someone had come out with that idea on the Apprentice, Lord Sugar and Karen Brady would laugh it out of the boardroom. His nose looks like a scrotum as well. Fucking awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was she invited to yours or just decided she was coming. Either way, says a lot about her own family she doesn't want to be with them. [emoji23]Christmas is great. How dare they force me to take time off work and eat and drink and gain several stone in weight. Even better being the construction industry pretty much closes down on December so the last month of the year is always blissfully quiet. Plus chocolate Yule log is braw! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her grans a manipulative boot who hides behind religion, I got the impression she can’t be bothered with a lecture about sin halfway through the Christmas meal. Apparently 5 years ago my girlfriend went to see her other granny for a few hours on Christmas morning before traipsing up to the psycho granny’s. The psycho one waited outside the entire time and then moaned about how she was spending Christmas with the sinful part of the family [emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year my granny isn't coming to stay with us, so my folks and I can crack out the booze in the morning and just get merrily pissed whilst eating a shit load of food. I'm beginning to think the problem with Christmas is old folk! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, she's a bit too young to think in those terms. It just saddens me that she now questions the drivel I spout; it used to be great fun making ridiculous claims that she believed. Anyway, I'm off to the moon for a couple of hours but will be back for tea. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
