Not a view based on religious or moral grounds but mainly financial reasoning......

Those around me reckon Im a bar humbug as I just can't get into it at all - roll on March I say.

Ten things I despise about Christmas

1. TV repeats
2. Forced bonhomie at office parties and staff expecting bonuses despite giving every impression of being amoebas the rest of the year
3. Shopping for presents. Aaaargh!
4. Old biddies cluttering up the roads at 11mph in their mint Allegros
5. Xmas muzak emanating from every orifice
6. Habitual argument with SWMBO on Xmas morning because you've got a raging hangover and she's stressed out with making Xmas dinner
7. Feckless relatives who you managed to avoid all year but by Xmas you've run out of excuses
8. The phrases 'don't mind if I do' and 'rude not to' when you know you've only got that 25yr old malt in the drinks cupboard
9. Needles f*****g everywhere
10. January credit card statement

Still, look on the bright side. A couple more weeks, it's the Boat Show and then its all downhill to the new boating season

I was saying exactly the same thing to soemone yesterday - no good for us self employed bods!! Started around beginning Dec. and won't pick up again until 2nd week Jan!

I was told that as a contractor, if I wanted to go to the Xmas party I would have to pay for it myself, so I just took the afternoon off instead - cause none of them will be going back to the office/forums/images/icons/smile.gif

All I want is a lie in, a walk with the dogs, a good lunch, and a snooze before the fire. I do not want endless crappy repeats on the box, making polite conversation, not being able to do what I want to do, etc.

I have invested in a string of very nice feel-good movies some of which we will watch.

Actually I think to spend Christmas in bed would be just about as good as it gets.

I support all religions, just in case, and none specifically because of the damage they do competing with each other. If there is a God there is only one, so we might as well all get along nicely sharing her. (Just thought you'd like the PC ending there).

sorry guys, I gotta say I like it.
The kids love it and they are grown up.
Going out for dinner tonight with the rest of the office and thats okay too.
People are friendlier at this time of the year (cept in the shops)
and who needs an excuse for time off,
Work if you want, I'm havin another drink
Cheers

I don't put up decorations, send few cards, hate the whole merry go round, each year the madness seems to start earlier and earlier. It's all a load of bolx unless you have young kids.

Baaa humbug.

Oh Nicholas for Goodness Sake!!!!!!!!!!

This evening whilst you are out enjoying yourself at your Christmas Party I thought I'd have a look and see what's been happening on YBW.com. And I now see that all my hard work investigating what and where to get all your nautical presents has been a complete waste of my time. Therefore I shall have to return them all and on Christmas morning when you wake at 6am full of anticipation and excitment to open your presents - alas there will be none.

Never mind eh - you don't really enjoy it anyway.

Joanne

PS. When me, Emily and Lizzie are tucking into our Christmas Lunch and working our way through all the chocolates throughout the day - don't worry you don't have to join in ;) xx
