I love Xmas, but then I'm still pretty much a child. Love the presents, both the anticipation of opening them, and the feeling you get when you find the perfect present for someone.

Also it means a Kaapstad holiday! :barscarf:

Since becoming a dad i have enjoyed it more if only for seeing my daughters face as she opens her presents or we visit Father Christmas but generally i hate Christmas, hate the Christmas songs, hate everyone being falsely happy, hate people wearing festive ties and jumpers.... I always feel a bit down and remember the people who arent around anymore like my own dad.

Baa humbug to the lot of ya :x :x

Yeah Christmas got old for me a few years back. Over it now.

Still hate when religious groups try to have Christmas advertising banned because it disagrees with their beliefs though. :lol:

This year will be my first time having a sort of 'family' Christmas though, its usually just myself, my parents and my brother here.

I usually fucking hate Christmas, with all that 'ho ho ho, get into the spirit bollox.' This year though, I'll be sunning myself by The Indian Ocean and enjoying my Honeymoon.

Have a great time. And congratulations to you and you wife-to-be.

The fuckin Christmas songs are begining to creep in.

We're not even in December yet, FFS :banghead:

Christmas, to me, is about as welcome as international football breaks. It has no real significance. And it interferes with the natural flow of things. It's just a pain in the arse.

Bah, HUMBUG!!!

(I used to love Christmas when my kids were still kids, though :wink: )
Never too old to be a big kid so I still enjoy it OG, altho that might have something to do with getting a week off work :wink: Got back from the anitpodes just in time to appreciate a proper northern hemisphere xmas :lol:
