Ah, come on, its pretty simple really! Christmass is supposed to be a happy time, but not all families or individuals are happy. And being stuck in a house with family members screaming at each other all day is not exactly fun.

Yes but surely all of the crappy Christmas house lights, the smell of a fresh christmas tree, cold weather and commercialised Christmas spirit makes you forget about all of that sort of thing.

Absolutely, it's my favourite time of year and always has been. I'm 18 now (today's my birthday woo!) but I still get the 'Christmas feeling' in the run up, I love roaming around town in the evening and seeing all the lights up and hearing all the music. Christmas Eve. in the Club in Dalkey where last year I think I saw everyone I know on earth, Christmas day going for a swim in waggers, coming home and gorging by the fire for the whole night! Ooh I can't wait!

Especially this year, I'm going to Australia for 3 weeks on Dec.27th!

Never really liked christmas after Santa stopped coming to our house, dreaded it actually but I'm goin to enjoy this year. Was away for it last year and it was horrible. It's just not the same being away from your family and the selection boxes and crappy movies like Mary Poppins and Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. They dont' show those films on tv in America! So I can't wait!! oh yeah and for a properly cooked, well heated christmas dinner....unlike last year :rolleyes:

Sorry for being a bit serious here - personally I felt that Christmas was a wasted day, it never lived up to expectations...then last Christmas we were faced with one of the family not being there due to illness, we found out that she would be home for the day on Christmas Eve - now that is a day that I will remember for the rest of my life, the best Christmas ever. For me Christmas is about family - hoping to spend this Christmas with my parents and brother in a hotel.

i love christmas! i have a four yr old daughter so thats why i love it so much.
last yr we all went to my brothers new house, his wife is a chef so she cooked for her family and ours, so there was a big gang, we played this game for about 6 hours, U name a famous person .ie Jennifer Anniston, the next person has to name a famous person starting with A(from Aniston), 6 hours of that...we continued it new yrs eve in the pub, didnt last too long though.

i remember my brothers mother in law tried to play wit us, she didnt really get it, so she just kept saying Finbarr Fury...

Hell yeah, ive always loved Christmas and even though the secrets out its still nice to keep the magic going, makes the holiday worthwhile.

Goodshape

I don't need an excuse to be nice to my family and friends.

**** christmas.

CathyMoran

Some of my best friends will not be in Ireland for Christmas, that will be tough - will be spending a few hours on the videophone over the festive period. I love spending some of Christmas Eve in town though, it has a certain magic to it.

NoDayBut2Day

Of course. Love this holiday. Such a special time of year!!

Willymuncher

I don't know how anyone can hate it, unless they're lonely, miserable or don't like happy people. Every year I hear more and more people go on about how ****ty Christmas is, its sad, its supposed to be a happy time, I love it. I'll be spending this year in the states with the in laws...should be lots of fun.

NoDayBut2Day

^ Yeah, I know...

I came across someone for the first time that didn't like Christmas only last year. Up until then, I thought everyone really liked it. Maybe that was me being naive... but yeah... :rolleyes:
