    in all my years living alone, i've never had a christmas tree, let alone any presents to put beneath one. some people just like the sentimental aspect of it.
    I moved out of home last year. Spent my first christmas in my own place. Was sharing with my brother. Both of us would work long hours and nearly 7 days a week. We never put up any decorations.
    Christmas eve was like a normal night. Went to my parents house the next morning and had a traditional christmas day. Then back home to get ready for work the next day :(

    This christmas I have moved to New Zealand. A month ago I moved in to a new apartment. Sharing with a London girl I never see. Not putting up any decorations. Doubt if she is. Would have got her a card or something if I knew the girl, but I don't.
    Don't know what she is doing for christmas, but she is staying in the country.
    Im flying to Perth in a few days and back after the New Year so I'm not too worried what she does.

    in all fairness, I do spend christmas eve with all my friends in my local. they all come bak from various parts of the country and the world at large to spend christmas at home and it is good to see them all.
    on the other hand, bah humbug.

    That is one thing I will miss this year. First time I won't get to catch up with with old friends on chistmas eve in our local.
    But I do get to spend christmas in the sun and on the beach with friends, so I can't complain too much :D

    christmas and personal hygiene have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

    CHRIST!!!! REALLY!??? I thought they went hand-in-hand. Honestly!

    the thing is, i do see a need to wash myself and change my underwear. that's a personal hygiene thing and has nothing to do with christmas. unless you're the type of person who only washes themself and changes underwear at christmas. if so, then i would question your sanity.

    While you were taking that literally, the point was skilfully sneaking away....

    I actually got great kudos for my portrayal of scrooge once.
    then i decided not to ever act again because i don't like kudos.

    I must admit I miss the real excitement of Christmas, even though we still continue the tradition of presents under the tree and not opening them until christmas morning.

    Nowadays, my mam will ask me what I actually want for christmas. No such thing as a real surprise anymore. However I must say, I do appreciate the time of year more these days than ever before.
