oldfruit Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) I don`t know what you all mean, i love Christmas, though i have young children so it goes with the territory. Asside from the additional expense, massive queues in the shops, and the general stress it`s great. Plus i need some new socks.

Guest Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I'm probably in a minority here but I think there's too much emphasis on the commercial side and not the spiritual side. On a lighter note, you might like this: http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7848983065617703845#editor/target=post;postID=7854192389627805657 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I'm probably in a minority here but I think there's too much emphasis on the commercial side and not the spiritual side. I am not in the least bit spiritual, but I agree about the commercialism of holidays. I would rather not do presents (either giving or receiving) and instead just go to see people. It particularly irritates me when people ask "what do you want?". I could just buy it myself if we're resorting to that! Humbug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I like the family side of Christmas, but not being spiritual either, it has a limited appeal for me. It's great for kids, and we make a big fuss of the grandchildren. I love to see their excitement completely destroyed when I give them something completely useless, such as paperclips, and then back to big smiles when they get the big prezzy. This is matched by my excitement when the courier rings our doorbell, tomorrow with a bit of luck. I have noticed that the supermarkets are sneakily making out stuff as being a seasonally traditional item, when it has never been one in the first place. Ah well, 17 days until it gets lighter at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Its the way we (meaning most not all) have been told/conned that they have to spend more than they have on worthless tat,and deck the house like a lighthouse for 3 months of the year to keep up with the neighbors family meal and get together is fine but far to commercial for me now where is my normal avatar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Better stand up and be counted! As a born again Christian, I enjoy both the spiritual and the family side of Christmas. But having said that, Easter is far more important to me than Christmas (spiritually)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I have to stand up to, our Christmas is based around church as is Easter. Cant see why people celebrate if they do not believe the underlying reasons. Would seem pointless to me. Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Graham Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Aaaahhhh Christmas. That wonderful time of the year where people buy presents and food they cannot afford and spend the best part of the next year paying for them. When the suicide rate goes through the roof as people struggle to cope with the stress and loneliness. When so called religious people go to their yearly service. The time of year when folks are spreading goodwill on the very people they will be treading on within a month. Oh what a joyous time of the year.
