Till Xmas...i love it although it is tiring,ime always knackered after Christmas,trying to keep family happy as everyones got agendas..went out for xmas dinner last year and it was a disaster,wouldnt do that again,going to the Worcester Fair at the end of November,its a Dickensian theme Fair.
Will also try and catch Oliver in the West End with Rowan Atkinson playing Fagin.
Theres always a nice buzz at the xmas matches and hopefully ware in the 3rd round of the cup come new year.
So youve heard it here first Happy Christmas!

I saw a Christmas advert last night (DFS I think)

I nearly threw up!

Get fucked, it's only October!

Hee Hee....bah humbug

Got all the family over this christmas which will be odd as ive never even had a tree!

Its not even winter yet! (British Summer time ends this Sunday folks!)

Did it begin then Bob!

i ate my first mince pie today :D

i hated myself a little bit for it, but i fucking love them.

Greggs are selling them already.

I fookin hate christmas.

Waste of time and money.

Ahhh. The season of higher murder rates and the start of divorce proceedings.

Xmas was always heralded by the arrival of the big tubs of Jacob's Cheeselets in Sainsbury's. But they get earlier every year. They've been in there since mid September this year.

Why they only make them at this time of year I don't know.

I have no idea Leefer, I don't live in Britain! Summer was pretty average in mainland Europe. Funnily enough, the best day of summer weather I can remember in the UK was the weekend of the Huddersfield game. Driving back to Gatwick Airport on the Sunday it was 22 degrees! And this was October!!

I only just started my shopping last weekend - Im normally half done by now!  :eek:

im going to spain (malaga) for a few days.

I'm also planning on xmas away from the UK & family duties.

Thailand last year but fancy somewhere cold and snowy this year.

The only place to have Christmas for me is England.
I love it, all the family round the table for lunch, all pissed .... cant wait.

yes but all my family are going to spain, its cheaper than staying here, get a few days in nice weather and dont have to do any washing up.

True, but not the same, always England for Christmas for me.

have you ever been abroad for xmas?

Yes, wasn't the same for me.
There again it was only the two of us, I suppose if all the family are there it would be different.

Last year I spent Christmas alone in a shared house in Durham, it was a depressing write off!

This year me and my flatmate are planning a Lebowski Christmas which will bascially involve drinking white Russians in our dressing gowns. Should be an improvement!

I went round Fred's last year and drank his wine  :D

Im working for what seems like the 4th year in a row.

Just me and my mum this year, and she's buggering off to do some volunteering stuff for half the day. Lonely Ben.

The whole build up tends to depress me a bit, although when it actually comes I sometimes  get caught up in the fun. To be honest even if I don't get all christmasy then I quite enjoy wallowing in my lack of spirit.

*ex-wife's

I got my [plastic] Christmas tree a few weeks ago :-[ First Christmas in our own place for me and my bird[as Mex likes to refer to my other half  :D]. Normally the sight of selection boxes and wrapping paper in October annoys me but i feel different about it this year.

Bollocks, Christmas should be confined to the month of December. Not before. Never. Ever.

Agreed pumbaa.

And I'll be at my mum's eating too much and getting steadily pissed. Then football on boxing day. It's the way things should be.

  :nod:

  Final third of December at that...
