Nah man, it depends what you're looking forward to. TBH, I just love the days off, the Christmas tree, the Christmas shit on TV, the lights the family together and I've got no more tests to worry about until summer! Also, there's abit of happiness in the air. Lately I'm noticing it's beginning to look alot like Christmas, everywhere I go.

I'm looking forward to some unreal Christmas dinner and just being happy at home. We kinda need something in our house to cheer us up.

Jaysus, I hope he didn't have shares in Anglo Irish anyway.

I've always preferred ham myself. Doesn't really matter as we have both.

My mam used to wait 'til the turkeys made turkeys.:pac:

It's actually the one thing about Christmas I dislike.
It's too bland, hardly any taste at all.

No wonder cranberry sauce and gravy sell out at Christmas time.

I was dreading the (give a, give a, give a, give a) Garmin ad on the radio this year - that yank (wannabe yank!?) woman voice was like listening to a more masculine version of anastacia.
They've replaced her this year, but the memories are too painful when I hear the current ad:(

Christmas was looking good...then I got a 6 point ticket. And now christmas is looking bad

But Sharpie I don thee banhammer with colored lights and streamers! :pac:

Overheal

there was nothing depressing about that add, it was sunset on the beach, he was playing a conch shell, and that voiceover was evidently stoned.

Happiest beach evar if you ask me. And the Irish get great phone deals in contrast to the states.

Turkey leftover sandwiches is what makes the week after Christmas and before New Years my favourite week

Oh I love ham! Especially on a sandwich with brown sauce

Problem is I'm the only one in my family that eats it so we only get this tiny, scabby bit that doesn't last me more than one meal!

Turkey is a stupid meat, it's like eating cardboard

Nooooooo!!!

I put mine in a curry, to give it some flavour.

Ham sambos are nice though.:pac:

Besides a nice round of roast beef sambos always go down well.

Nice one, go all out. :pac:

I always stock up with Cheese and Onion at Christmas and people love it when I ask them if they would like a Cheese and Onion Toasted sambo.

They get sick of Turkey & Ham so quickly.:pac:

The poll wasn't asking people if they want a megathread. You know that?

No but lets play it out. If we get ludicrous volume in here with multiple tangents we can advocate a seasonal subforum later, and move all the SSF stuff into it, leaving one sticky to direct users to it. but tbh i dont see that happening (the volume) and im sure a megathread will suit. A subforum also sounds like a mod-ache.

There is now a mega thread in After Hours to discuss all things Christmas.

If you are unhappy with that then bring it up in the appropriate forum.

Honestly, the desire to just tell people what they can or can't do, rather than let things just flow has gotten out of hand in the last few months.

Anyway, I won't clutter up the thread with any more moaning.

This is the last time.

I went by the Poll.

How is that telling people what they can and can't do?

The Christmas thread is now open.

If you have a problem with that as I said before take it to the appropriate forum.

Thanks.

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping at your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos!

Ah yeah: like two bickering estranged relatives ye are. But hang on: Where is the food? I dont normally put up with family squabbles unless theres a) presents and b) those little cocktail sized sausage rolls that you can fit on a toothpick. I love those.

edit: give your loved one a Flying F*ck this christmas. Only 19.99 Sterling

I love Christmas, got back to Ireland for last weekend and could feel that sense of anticipation around..
Back in Abu-Dhabi now but will make it back once more before Christmas.
Unfortunately I'm here for the Event so I'm going to miss the celebrations being in a Muslim country and no Ham... Oh well roll on Christmas 2010!

Getting pissed and telling your cousin how much of a twát he is, watching the royle family special for the 4,325th time, eating 4,325 calories a day for three days in a row, getting pissed and telling your girlfriend's dad how much of a twat he is, disguising your hatred of of woolly jumpers, watching others disguise their hatred of your last minute €2 shop novelty gifts.

Yes, yes, yes please. I LOVE IT!

My mother is putting up her Christmas Decorations tomorrow!! Which is too early IMHO, but saying that she was really sick last year on the run up to Christmas so I think she really wants to enjoy Christmas this year.

So with that in mind what decorations do ye guys put up for the festive season?

This thread was created on the 11th of October!! OCTOBER!!

It wasn't even Halloween yet and it is not Christmas until Decemeber.

Santa - All I want for Christmas is for you to give the crappiest presents ever to anyone who does the following before December 1st:

1 - Buys decorations, lights, presents, wrapping paper etc
2 - Has Christmas dinner
3 - Buys a christmas tree
4 - Decorates their house
5 - Makes mince pies / christmas pudding
6 - Buys christmas presents
7 - Sings christmas carols
8 - Anyone who produced christmas magazines / brochures / catalogues / sweet wrappings

.......the list goes on.....

Who in their right mind wants to celebrate christmas in october / november. Weirdos! :eek::eek::eek:

I like Christmas but not when it is made to last for 3 months!

m5ex9oqjawdg2i

Won't this get really messy? I mean, there are many Xmas topics... surely we can't put them all here? Impossible to discuss and reference...

soups05

you are missing the point kingtut, by buying now all of that stuff is cheaper.

I bought two packs of xmas crackers (8.50 down to 2 euro) back in july. now that is what you call being prepared (or tight fisted )

I wont put up decorations till 2 weeks before but i have been buying pressies since mid sept. lots of things to get and loads of bargins around plus no last minute rush.:)

come xmas eve i will take a walk in town and enjoy everyone going mad trying to get the last minute stuffing,breadcrumbs,beer or whatever.my local shop ran out of bread last xmas eve and i overheard one woman say "what time will the bread be delivered tommorrow?" she complained when told the shop stays closed xmas day.:rolleyes:

SV

I'm buying a christmas tree for my room today :-p it's gonna be great!
