in some ways i enjoy it in other ways its an expensive pain i the rear.
I have far too many birthdays around the same time as well so it gets silly money.
Brother beginning of Dec
Nan a week later
Son Christmas eve
Aunt Christmas day
Daughter Early Jan
Mother Later in Jan
and finally the mother in Law at the beginning of Feb

I dont celebrate it at all.  I tell folks not to send cards, because I wont send any in return.

I may have to relent that rule this year though and send a few to family.

Isn't it just?

Rush around like a blue @rsed fly for what seems like 2 months beforehand for a bit of Turkey (blandest meat in the world?) and a few mince pies. Not to mention the higher than usual level of drivel and irritating adverts on TV.  >:(

We all need to hibernate until about the 3rd week in February, I reckon.

Sorry, but I like Christmas. We have this conversation every year and I find it a bit tiresome.  :(

If December 25th was just like any other day, we'd all be poorer, IMHO (and, no, I don't mean financially).

I don't mind Christmas - my problem is that it's dragged out over 2 months!

I don't do Christmas cards or presents for anybody, not even the wife! No seriously! What I do like is friends and family getting together, catching up on life the universe and everything, making plans for the next year and generaly having a good time socially. I think people have forgotten what Christmas is all about, it shouldn't have to revolve around money, it's a time for friends and family.

Just my pennyworth.
