    It just gets earlier every year...not too long ago people were complaining that it was being mentioned just before Halloween.

    I remember that used to be the rule: no Christmas until after Halloween.

    Now it's at the start of August? Nuts!

    ASS CLOWN!

    Thats really is annoying, it is 140 days until Christmas, that is 20 weeks, not 21.

    :mad: ARGH :mad: Curses!!! Ye had to mention it didnt ya! Ya just wouldnt let it LIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! (lol)

    Christmas is $hit !!!

    Whats to like....?
    Rancid decos
    Armaggeddon traffic
    Trapped in a claustrophobic gaff with rellies ya hate being force fed too much food....
    Waste of money/time/energy
    Unnecessary hassle
    Being given fookin bath salts :rolleyes:
    Giving ppl $hit u know they dont want...
    Being asked "so are ye all set for Xmas?" a million times a day
    Choirs obstructing the streets
    CHRISTMAS MUSIC :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: WHY ?????????????????

    URGH!

    Last year I left the country, it was poetic lying by the pool on Xmas day in a country where its hardly even awknowledged!

    Oh IF ONLY some enterprising sort would invent an Xmas getaway, say an island you could go to for 2 weeks where the mention of the pestulent event was banned.....!!! :p
