    Well mostly parents really! They insist i get up early with my younger brother and sisters, then there is mass aswell.

    Plus i cant pissed like id want to!
    Tell them you are going out for the day to help in the soup kitchens. Then go to your mates kitchen and get souped up on beer, you didn't even break a commandment by lying.

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

    Apparently true from what I've also read.
    Its all a con!

    I love Christmas! It's a great time of the year, good for relaxing and eating and being optimistic.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,122 ✭✭✭LadyJ


    I love Christmas! I'm so excited about it. Plus, even though Santa has ignored me for the past 15 years, I've heard from a reliable source that all is forgiven and I'm getting presents this year!

    I also love turkey and turkey naps and charades so I'm all set! It can go on as long as it likes!

    *explodes with excitement*

    There was a thread on here a while ago where we gave the recession a name. Stephen was the clear winner.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,194 ✭✭✭✭IvySlayer


    Oh yeah I can't wait to watch The Great Escape.

    It's day where it's good and annoying. Talking to family members you don't want to, waiting for them to leave....

    I like getting pressies and giving them. The dinner is a bitch to make. My family is hosting it so it means I'll be cooking/cleaning/serving/getting drinks for everyone.

    The younger kids will wake you up at 7am and you'll be cranky because it's a holiday and want a lie on.

    Christmas day is the best day of the year. All the family together having fun. I'm really looking forward to it.

    I believe it was Steve, it hates to be called Stephen.

    I love Christmas! My brother and sister come home from England, we get presents and amazing food, what's not to love!

    Don't know how you could hate Christmas Day tbh. I love everything about it. The food (the chocolate in particular), the alcohol, the fire, the crap (great) Christmas TV, the visitors, happy people, not having to do anything, the decorations...

    ...the presents... meh ...I guess. They come way down the list though, nowhere near as exciting as they used be when I was a child. The combination of everything else though I LOVE.

    It's my absolute favourite day of the year :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 287 ✭✭Supermanscat


    Never said i hated, just thought it dragged on thats all!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,345 ✭✭✭SarcasticFairy


    It can be a long day, but one I throughly enjoy! I don't just sit at home though... that would be boring, even more so than a normal day because you'd feel like you should be enjoying yourself...

    I do a lot of moving around on Christmas Day and only really just sit from about 5ish, when we have dinner. I go see a heap of people in different places, giving presents, collecting presents ;), eating rather a lot.... Yeah I love it! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,372 ✭✭✭The Bollox


    what's there not to love about Christmas day?

    Christmas dinner = best dinner of the year


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,121 ✭✭✭Censorsh!t


    it's sooo boring. after the dinner i feel like going crazy with boredom :(

    Thats why you start drinking after before dinner...

    Would feel a bit weird getting locked with my parents, tbh.

    I usually wait until later on to skive off to my friend's house to start drinking.

    It doesn't really drag on for me. It was worse when I was younger, being dragged from relative to relative's house, having to sit in the corner drinking lemonade, while they talked about boring stuff...

    My family know how to do it. All my cousins get together, and all the aunts and uncles get together and start drinking at 10 or 11am in one family's house while exchanging presents, and the men exchange chauvanistic and grumpy-old-man-at-christmas type comments with the odd "it's noon somewhere" if a woman complains about us drinking so early.
