Best Part Of Christmas?

[michael]

Being very materialistic, I mostly just like getting stuff.

Also, being very lazy, I like having the time off of work. The added bonus is that the time that IS spent at work is not proper work because no-one expects you to do anything.

Nice.

Koh Chang is pretty ace too...about 4 hours from Bangkok and another short boat trip.

Fuck...this time last year I was in Khao Lak and then on xmas eve went to Koh Lanta. I'd love to be back at either of those places now.

Do you really hate christmas that much? I'd have thought you'd at least like the extra fixtures over the festive period, well maybe not this year but you know what I mean.

Seriously ....

There is nothing better than being in England with your family and friends around you.

Boxing Day being the best day of the festivities, always a open house around my place, nobody goes home sober, cant wait.

My job is sort of my life and because of christmas things get complicated due to systems etc I use so from that respect yes. Fixtures... depends really who we have. I mean as you state, this season is pretty shit due to our league position but in honesty I haven't really gotten excited over Christmas time fixtures anyway. I understand why people get that excited but being selfish myself perhaps, I just hate the extra crowds, pushing queuing etc to do normal every day things like deposits at banks etc, go to post office to pay a bill etc although I am well aware of direct debits etc. I do these things for my nan and older people like to have receipts which compounds matters!

The anticipation, I suppose. I have this idealised vision that, Christmas TV is good (its not), the films are classics (they aren't) and that it's an excuse to eat as much as i like (and still get sick) and that I like my family all the time (they're best in small doses).

However this year I get the added bonus of having my girlfriend with my family too. And as she'll inevitably read this at some point, I'm looking forward to this christmas more than all the rest. Even when I was 8 and got really excited.
