Christmas Day!

Supermanscat

There's a bit of a debate going on in our house at the minute about Jesus' Birthday!

Personally i think it is the longest day of the year! It just drags! Sitting in the house all day, the other two lad agree with me but one suggests its grand just to sit by the fire for the evenin and relax.

Whats peoples thoughts?

Longest day of the year or Not?

And before smart arses start i realise the longest day of the year is in June.

It's possible that Jesus' birthday is actually in June.

Cokehead Mother

It's ok.

Boxing Day is the worst, when you're bored of Christmas but the universe hasn't returned to normal yet.

Dave!

Best day of the year.

Presents in the morning, then start drinking and wait for the rest of the family to arrive, then eat dinner (nyom nyom nyom), then have a nap, then get up and continue drinking, then start playing cards and board games whilst drinking for the rest of the night. Then sleep.

Love it.

Maybe its beacuse i dont have that type of christmas is why it drags on! Less Drinkin for me as my sibling are all younger than me!

I don't know what part of it drags...

Get up close to noon, swop gifts with other half.
Go to parents' house, have a huge fry-up.
Open a beer, swop presents with family.
Open another beer, watch TV/DVD/console/whaetver
Have huge dinner with wine. Talk crap.
Open a beer, get out a board game
Open a crate of beer, get out the deck of cards and chips.
Play Poker till 4am.

It flies for me..

It doesn't drag if you never get out of bed.

Supermanscat

Reading everyone's posts i realise that people's ages have something to do with it. Should have mentioned this debate took part with 21 and 20 year olds, some of who are the eldest.

Its a different story when your in this position!

seamus

Even if you're 20/21, what's stopping you from staying in bed till noon and then getting up and cracking open a beer?

LolaDub

I love Christmas, giving presents, getting presents, drinking, chocolate and a huge meal! Happy times

You're over 18. Man up and tell them to shove their mass up their arse.

If they do insist on bringing you, bring a six pack with you and every time you take a sip, make a point of loudly exclaiming, "Ahhhhhhhh", with a big smile on your face.

Your parents will never want to take you again and every single male in the church audience will be jealous of you.

I won't even be leaving my room.

It's a class day!!

Presents, Family, Mrs Browns boy's DVD and a whole load of beer....Great craic!!

Then off to the nightclub at 12.00 and watch people beat lumps out of eachother because everyone is so drunk from being on the beer all day!! It's my favourite day of the year!!

Yeah it would. But of course you knew that.

Prof.Badass

how could you get bored on christmas???

do you not have loads of chocolates and cakes to eat (this prety much ensures i can never get bored around christmas.....the sweets don't run out till around the 28th at which stage it starts gettin boring).

also alcohol?

are your family so boring that you can't spend one day with them?

I'll just end up with a week of binging on chocolate playing x-box with my brother, can't wait.

stovelid

I like the run up to Christmas Day, but I find it boring itself. My birthday is on Boxing Day/Stephen's Day, and that's usually boring too.

Just to add, Christmas day has always been my favourite day of the year

At 20, 21 it certainly never dragged. It was great, loads of beer, plenty of great TV, presents to give and get, great huge meal and chocolate. Yum yum!

Of course this year I won't be seeing any family as I'm staying in England again but I'll still be cooking up the big Christmas dinner with my wife and we'll have a great time

At home it's a pretty crappy day involving the same thing every year.

This year however I'll be having breakfast down on the beach with the relatives. Have a few beers and a swim then back to mine for dinner. Give the ma and da a ring in the evening as they'll only be gettin up. Few more beers, movie, then bed.
