    Ahem, they're called the Holidays now. We don't all want to be force fed your Christian preaching.

    Christmas is brilliant.

    Listening to Christmas music in shops and seeing decorations in town centres from virtually 1st Nov is sh1t.

    You need to incorporate a smilie into that sentence, and not the rolly-eyed one.

    Xmas is great, with the exception of college assignment/exam stress.

    Christmas is a kids holiday. Its brill when you're 8 or if you've got a few kids around I guess. When the "kids" in the house are in there 20's its just a drag. I have it all said by 6pm but there's nowhere to go and nothing to do...aaaghhhh.

    Material possessions ftw

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Sarcasm isn't as funny when it's spelled out to people with the use of emoticons. :rolleyes::p:cool:

    I truly love Christmas though.

    For the most part yes. The days off school are good though. As is vapid soulless consumerism.

    I despise Christmas, but thats only because I work in retail.(part-time thank jesus!) and it's forced in your face from early October.... So I'm immensely bitter and dont engage in any christmas activities. :mad:

    Yes.... I hate hate hate hate hate Christmas. All that forced joviality, and being expected to attend numerous boring parties with work colleagues you successfully avoid all year..... And the commercial pressure to buy gifts for others, and then having to pretend to be happy when you receive some piece of crap from someone

    I think this may stem from the time when I used to work Christmas day, and it made me realise that it's just an ordinary day, souped up by commercialism

    Last year, I didn't put up any decorations in my house..... and it felt good!

    Just call me Ebenezer......

    I'll let you people in on a little trick I developed. Its quite subtle, but if done properly it will shut up those pricks who harp on about Christman on a continual basis regardless of how far away it may be. When the said offender mentions Christman, or even hints at mentioning it, you simply kick them in the head and then when they're on the ground, pour paint in their eyes. It also works on parents around exam result times.

    Get them Stick (R). It's the present everyone wants, yes. Stick, Stick, Stick.

    Better than you get them Playstation :mad:



    Christmas is great though, but not in November. I really enjoyed it last year for some reason and even wore my Santy hat in work for the week leading up to Christmas weekend. Isn't it a little early for a "Christmas is shat" thread?
