    Book a cheap holiday somewhere like lots of other people do? That way you wouldn’t have to make a big deal out of it or start a thread or anything!

    Fly to a country that doesn't celebrate it. It really is that simple if you can afford it. Alternatively just ignore it, work if you can or stay indoors and do what makes you happy. Don't turn on the TV.:eek: I've very little time for Christmas myself. A load of commercial bollox.

    Take a tent to an island off the coast or in the Shannon. Bring no radio or phone. If locals wander near just yell at them feck off.

    Cuba.

    Christmas was only reintroduced as a public holiday a few years ago, and it's as low key as humanly possible while still actually happening.

    And the sun shines, and the booze is cheap, and the music is fab.

    Wish I could afford to head there every Christmas :mad:

    I think I'll be joining you OP. That father of mine, you'd want the patience of Job. We were talking about Christmas and as usual I got the "it's just another day" "no I don't want a tree" "sure what's special about it" "you go wherever you want I don't mind".
    Jaysus. I can't wait until January.

    I can't wait until April. By then all the feckers depressed after Christmas have dissipated.

    I give him a pass because it's not an easy time for him but hard to be cheery when nobody else in the house is.

    easy. I do it every year, if you mean the commercial junk?

    the real Christmas is in my heart. And I am in the perfect place. No shops here... peace .
