do you love or hate the festive season?

personally couldnt give a shite about it, its a license to earn some serious money for me!

[allstardawn]

i love it because it gives me an excuse to eat too much, drink too much and spend too much. oh and the tinsel. you have to love the tinsel. unless it's that cheapo stuff which makes you itch (NOT that i wear tinsel of anything..)
but it means that january is soon. and january is the most depressing month of the year. humbuggery

and no fat cunt to worry about

I have to admit Im someone who has a soft spot for the festive season... Not for any aprticular reason. Although in my opinion we are stilla few weeks away from the 'real' festive season...

Boy... dont Xmas get earlier and earlier every year?

[Rass]

What a heap of arse....

I'm not religeous by a long shot, but its savage how little the holiday has to do with that whole birth scene two thousand years ago and how it is all about high street stores cashing in, what a joke. I am basically avoiding christmas like the plauge this year, it means absolutely nothing to me now, it means about as much to me as Hanukka does, and i dont celebrate that so why should i celebrate christmas? Its only ever been family time of year to me so i'll be spending the day with my folks.

Incidentally, i really think something should be done about high street stores putting up thier christmas decor so early, they were going up before halloween this year! I recon christmas should start at the beginning of December at the earliest as far as shops and telly goes.

Mind you, what would you expect from a holiday whose father-figure was clothed by a soft drinks giant?

I actually care about Christmas SO much that I've volunteered to work 14 hours on Christmas day. Triple time.

We've had christmas stock in since october I am sure. The christmas music tape must have been on for 3 weeks already. I am with Rass on this one. I am pretty sure everyones forgotten what its about and now its a big cash in for everyone.

I dont care about what its about, because it is a ridiculous fictional character's birthday we are supposed to celebrate. So what would be different if we worshipped Mike and Angelo instead?

As long as i get presents and alcohol I couldnt care less

[Mo-Ha]

i second Rass and Tav, its not about what it should be, Jesus.
i'm totaly not religiouse too but it's sad to see that it's all about money.
this year if i am goin gto bother going to the trouble of giving anyone a gift it will be bough after x-mas in the sales.
alternitivly, ashleigh and myself will have a whole drunken weekend of making pepermint creams! thoughtfull, from the heart, and damb good fun too make.
