Maybe as you become an adult you slowly lose the magical feeling.

BBDBB · 31-10-2012 09:18PM

nah, thats the medication kicking in

admiralofthefleet · 31-10-2012 09:19PM

my son was one last monday so its only beginning (again) for me

Red Pepper · 31-10-2012 09:20PM

No, halloween and xmas are brilliant when you have young kids.

girl2 · 31-10-2012 09:22PM

Tom, I was thinking about you - Im glad to see you on here again

Yes, I have become Bah Humbug. It's all just another day.

senorwipesalot · 31-10-2012 09:23PM

The magic of getting pissed for a solid week never looses its appeal.

Links234 · 31-10-2012 09:23PM

nope! in fact, i think I'm a bigger kid than ever

Chicken1 · 31-10-2012 09:23PM

I tolerate halloween but at 29 I LOVE Christmas, religious or not it's great. Nothing better than a freezing night outside and big fire and cosy house inside.

Yep!

Sitting in tonight and not answering the door. I'm a miserable bastard.

I drove past a few teenagers around Ringsend this evening and gave a wave as they were collecting tyres and pallets and gave them a wave going past.... They gave me the finger back.

I was taking the piss though and their reaction was priceless, it was over the top dancing while giving the finger that had me in stitches.

But erm yea, the magic of both is dead for me now. It's my birthday today and I could care less.

Princess Peach · 31-10-2012 09:31PM

Not for me! I get all kinds of childish and giddy during holidays

ArtyC · 31-10-2012 09:32PM

I dunno- sitting in with bag of sweets, fire and scary movies!!

opinion guy · 31-10-2012 09:32PM

Halloween is way better than it used to be if you ask me

Run_to_da_hills · 31-10-2012 09:33PM

As you get older you realise that both of them are just annoying recurring pagan festivals. As soon as the fireworks cease we get bombarded with non stop Christmas commercials on our television sets for the next two months. :mad:

Phone up that hotline for tip offs on bonfires on them and get their bonfire shut down :pac:

They're my two favourite "holidays" of the year. Nothing better than drinking in a pub in fancy dress! But I will say that December 23rd is a far more enjoyable night out than either Christmas Eve or Stephen's Day.

Oarrack Bama · 31-10-2012 09:40PM

Do scientologists celebrate Halloween and Christmas OP?

TheUsual · 31-10-2012 09:48PM

ppssstttt .....

there is no Santa

jaffacakesyum · 31-10-2012 09:49PM

Never was huge into Halloween but Christmas I used to love and it certainly has lost its magic for me. I think maybe with a new boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife a bit of that excitement comes back. And then when you start having kids I'd say that brings back the magic

Yes re: Christmas, definitely.

Was never big into Halloween either, all they bought for us then were disgustingly healthy monkey nuts and apples. Ugh.

Of course it does - until you have kids.

Jesus man, chin up. The pagans knew how to throw a party.

Having kids makes Christmas deadly. It brings Halloween to a whole new level though, I've put way more thought into dressing up my youngfella than I ever would for myself. He's 2 and shall be dressed as Kurt Cobain. The only disapointment is that my missus won't let me tape a fake syringe to his arm and make him carry a toy shotgun. It's still deadly though.

Larianne · 31-10-2012 10:30PM

Nah, love Halloween. Although I do not like any of this slutty dressing up shít! Either be something scary or dead or funny or bog off!

Hate Christmas. More so coz its a family orientated thing and well my family ain't a family family, unfortunately.

3rdDegree · 31-10-2012 10:32PM

Yes, no magic for me. Sometimes though, I can remember the feeling of Christmas when I was a child and it really was magical! I remember the feeling so strongly it almost hurts. But not any more. Now all I have to look forward to is eternal dreamless sleep.

LOL, etc. ):

Yeh Christmas must be damn hard for people who have bad family stuff going on, when there is so much emphasis on family.

Christmas yeah, but still love halloween.

Praetorian Saighdiuir · 31-10-2012 10:35PM

I love Halloween, always have.

Tonight I made some kids cry by jumping off my garage with a petrol chainsaw while they knocked on the door, it's all part of the fun though....I did give them extra sweet though.

Christmas, I used to love it but the feeling fizzled out. I would love to get it back again but I doubt I will.

as you get older do Halloween and Christmas kind of lose there magic?
