Christmas is exceptionally shit. I do like the prezzies and booze but talking to extended family that I don't like doesn't really appeal to me. I hate the decorations and all that bollox too

for me, this month is my money spinner.
i work with my dad fitting all kinds of flooring.
the "eco-no-mee" in rubbish at the moment so any work is welcome. if peeps leve it till the last moment to put new carpet on the stairs and landing twenty mins before crimbo, then all i can think is thank you....... megejolt is now an option.
So i suppose its rush hour for me!!
Then jan is quiet, so i can fit all those bits i could'nt afford before.
Not too bad!! but then im having crimbo dinner with my gran, on my own, this year.
perhaps you guys have a point!

Jesus christ guys!

I quite like christmas, ive grown out of it really and havnt ever been in the "festive spirit" for as long as i can remember!!

But its just nice to have a change, generally everyones happy, you drink and eat a shitload and theres usually more to watch on telly.

I mean, its better than the rest of the year, fuck all else happens!

Never been a big fan, not allowed to go in the workshop as it's anti social, not allowed to go on the internet as it's anti social, and I'm pretty sure I'd get a bollocking if I went out on the mountain bike. I think the high light for me is taking Patch for an extra long walk in the afternoon to get me out the house for as long as possible.

Presents are nice when you're a kid but these days I tend to know what I'm getting as people ask me what I want (and in some years I've even chosen my own present) so there's no real surprise, so why bother I might as well go out and buy whatever it is that I want myself. Strangely I'm quite excited about my TM Secret Santa present as I've no idea what it is (although it feel remarkable similar to a dead hamster).

Also every year the shops seem to contain even more dithering morons who have no idea what they want but are highly skilled at getting in your way.

To top it off this year my sister is spending Christmas tup north with her boyfriends family so I haven't even got her to keep me sane.

New year on the other hand is a great laugh, normally spent in the Alps with my mates.

bah humbug.

Well I for one love Christmas. I guess having a great family helps. My wife's family can be a pain, but I only have to see then once a year and excuses to leave are easy with 2 kids under 2.

As for morons in the shops, they have always been there, just like the seasons, its is just as you get older you start to notice.

As I see it the first few years of your life christmas is irrelevant. The for the next few it is the best thing in the world. Then when you get to your teens it is crap. You can't drink, you can't see your mates and you are forced to see odd family. The you get to 18 and you can get pissed and see your mates more. This continues with the excitement slowly deminishing over the years. Then, if you are like me, you have kids and Christmas is great again (for a few years at least).

So cheer up and do your best to enjoy it. Don't feel obligated to go and see family you don't want to, they probably don't want to see a miserable bugger eating their mince pies either.

Spot on Ben H!
You missed out the socks though. Getting socks up until the age of 30 is a rather boring & pointless present. You hit 30....and you start getting the arse that no fucker has bought you any!!!!!!!!

Christmas dinner at Mum & Dads is the highlight of christmas for me. Awesome. :)

I hate it in terms of all the mags seem to shut up shop from nov to jan as they have 2 issues to complete in short time, leave me with out much work some times :(

Its not much different for me - I work the same hours, don't get any extra time off, its expensive, takes up too much of my time buying stuff for people and can't get anything done on the car or anything else for that matter.

On the plus side though my missus spends stoopid amounts of money on me at xmas. This year she's already bought me a roller cab to go with my existing tool chest, spent god knows how much on dvd's & blu-ray's and she say's she's spent even more on surprises!

Other than that, I'm not much of a fan to be honest! It was manipulated by Hallmark to sell lots of greetings cards!!!!

Dont hate Christmas but TBH would not really miss it it a lot - except for seeing the faces of the grandchildren (dont suppose that figures for too many of the contributors above tho)

Presentwise is going to be really, really lame this year.

Mum handed me £50 yesterday and when i asked what it was for she said "i cant think of anything to get you for christmas, so go and buy bits for your car and bring them back here, ill wrap them up and you open them on christmas day". Ijust said thats pointless and a waste of wrapping paper, but she replied saying "well ive got your sister a few things, i dont want to feel bad seeing her opening presents and you not doing anything!!"

Haha, cant wait! Going to get myself some spark plugs, leads, some auto glym engine bay cleaner and some really really really illuminous green plastikote paint for my cam cover on the 200sx.

Its going to be exhilarating.

LOL "except for seeing the faces of the grandchildren (dont suppose that figures for too many of the contributors above tho)"

One day i'm sure!

Hate is a strong word. I don't hate Christmas, but I have a tendency to get very black moods at this time of year.

I have to work on the positive aspects and the family have to tread carefully.

So stop being so effing miserable and think of the positives.

My kids have grown up, but with five mini drivers under one roof it makes an interesting Christmas. How many of you got all your Christmas shopping from Minispares? Just hope it turns up in time !

This year I'm really looking forward to trying out some of Nigella's recipes. Well that's my excuse for watching her program all week.

i fucking have christmas... Its bollox... Im not religious and its a christian celebration... So why should i be forced to celebrate it and spend shit loads of money on it. We dont celebrate ede, or hanuka do we?

Imo the only good thing i get out of it is boose, 3 days off work and a great dinner.

Humbug!

I love Christmas, 110%

christmass is cool!
