Don’t I know it.
I’m already sick of it. In mid September I went into a pub that had a tree up and when I asked why I was told it was so they could get bookings for Christmas.
I have Muslim and Sikh friends who feel that they have to give gifts because of the retail fest also know as Christmas.
But please, Christmas is a religious festival, or it used to be.
Do you like Christmas or not? Don’t give the standard ‘It’s just for the kids’ reply. Take them to church and then I might listen.
I’m off to read a book called ‘A Grumpy Old Christmas’ 😀

Do you like Christmas or not?
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
(Most wonderful time)
With the kids jingle-belling
And everyone telling you
Be of good cheer
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
It’s the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings
And great happy meetings
When friends come to call
It’s the hap-happiest season of all
There’ll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for roasting
And caroling out in the snow
There’ll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories
Of Christmases long, long ago
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
There be much mistletoe-ing
And hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, ooh ah
Woah, there’ll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for roasting
And caroling out in the snow
There’ll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories
Of Christmases long, long ago
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
There be much mistletoe-ing
And hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
Merry Christmas and God speed to you all.

Hi All,
Mr Merry,

Good for you and your family, no offence intended from me. (for a change). If you lot like it, fine by me.
I still hate the ‘retail fest’ that is suppost to be about Chistmas.

Hi Howard, No, we were very fortunate in escaping it. The Dutch did a good thing when they dug all those drainage dykes.
As for your CHRISTMAS present, I don’t think your wife would let you have a Swedish 25 yrs old, shame realy, (Sending you a P.M).

Hi All,
I know it is celebrated as a Christian celebration but wasn’t it originally a Pagan ritual ? As far as I am concerned you either like it or lump it, I do agree though it has been commercialised to death bringing all the problems trying to keep the little cherubs happy for two days :highly_amused: anyway it’s about giving not receiving I think everybody should give a little at Crimbo and I am as tight as a Nun’s proverbial dooda. Anyway here’s to all you scrooge’s out there :highly_amused:( HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND AN EVEN HAPPIER NEW YEAR )
Geoff.
Have a good one Geoff and your I’m sure your rug rats will love it.:stupid:
