I must have missed the thread where your xmas dinner destination was decided.
When it comes to food I have no need to ask  |

Ooh, that's a good point. If it was completely banned until 1st Dec, we wouldn't be able to get advent calendars in in time. Nov 25th then. |

I bloody love Christmas. I also get to open presents a day earlier than you lot.
But spare a thought for the poor bastards working in retail, it's bad enough just being confronted with it when you go shopping, imagine having Christmas music piped into your skull from November onwards

I see Christmas in a number of conflicting ways.
With my own business people are already spending more with me buying presents. This is good.
Because business has generally been shit this year I do 3 days a week in Morrisons - so I get to unload loads of lorries full of puddings and advent calendars etc. At least the piped music hasn't gone to christmas mode yet.
As a parent of 3 children I am busy saying any mention is banned until 1st December, but I have been picking up a few pressies for them as I see the odd bargain.

1 November and the adverts started on TV.
This weekend I walked through Asda and they have decorations up already.
Many shops in town already have C*****mas displays up.
How does this teach kids to learn the value of C*****mas?
Bah humbug.
All it does is make you sick of it way before it's even began. |

I'm back in the country from Dec 9th and not got anything on until mid-Jan, so I'm going to plan and execute one hell of a Christmas feast (for 3).

First off. I totally agree with business exploiting Christmas in the way they do but cynical is now a way of life. The same with Easter, Halloween and November the fifth. I'm not sure whether big business will take the piss with Ramadan. Secondly why did you feel the need to censor the word Christmas? Third. It's up to individual parents to teach their children the meaning and some might say the importance of the true Christmas message. Never let politicians, teachers and big business teach your children any kind of values. |
