    Third option, don't think I need to explain.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,395 ✭✭✭Marksie


    It went downhill when they brought religion into it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,813 ✭✭✭themadchef


    Just because you mentioned the "C" word :mad: Option 3...

    Kicking a man i once worshipped in a place i only ever dreamed of ....well it sounds like kicking...


    will have to root out living on a prayer now.....

    I may never forgive myself!

    Shame on you for bringing Christmas up so early in the year, thats why there's no Christmas Spirit left for the end of December....

    My kids school has a brilliant policy, they're not allowed to discuss Xmas until the 1st December and they get extra homework if they do...

    Dopn't know, don't care tbh.

    The spirit of Christmas is inside you, enjoy time with family and friends, with lots of drink and food. :rolleyes:

    A bit of snow would help though...

    I have seen Christmas type food in the shops two weeks ago!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 205 ✭✭laurak265


    I'm sorry but i think there should be a new law passed...halloween not be be advertised until oct 1st and xmas not be advertised until Dec 6th. If people want to shop let them shop early but it shouldn't be shoved into your face if you don't want it to be. I do my shoppin in october but i just put the stuff away and don't think about it until december!!!! Just my opinion!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,378 ✭✭✭Krieg


    Oh yeah definitely!

    Square in the balls

    Bon Jovi sucks.

    He's pretty hot, though.

    Christmas? Meh. Ever since 'Santa' turned out to be a lyin b*stard, any spirit of Christmas was ruined for me.

    Once there's drink, parties, food and re-runs of Only Fools and Horses, i'm a happy camper!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,987 ✭✭✭ottostreet


    completely ruined by santa dying. still, christmas is great. i get a feckload more money for working on christmas eve, day, and stephens day. as for new years eve :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,477 ✭✭✭Riddle101


    What exactly is the spirit of Christmas? Sitting around with family members you hardly ever see and care about, eating your way through a nice plump Turkey or Ham and then finally going to bed and saying the old time cachephrase, well that's another christmas gone by, bring on my easter eggs.

    I don't know what happened to me, i used to be so happy and then i turned into the Grinch and haven't been the same since


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,919 ✭✭✭Bob the Builder


    the only special thing about christmas is going into town driving up one way streets in the opposite direction at 60mph without crashing into anyone, because usually everyone else in town on that day is doing the same thing in the same direction.

    Also having to get up at 8am just to set up big expensive toys for my little sister who will then realise that she can't use them, and donate them to the bin.

    Also, it's usually my most sober time of the year, yet it's the only time of the year that I am actually allowed drink in my own house.

    Ironic really.
