Yawn!!! That awful time of year again
Yep i don't mind admitting it I HATE CHRISTMAS nowadays it was so much better years ago but now carols in shops weeks before , adverts on the tv about it again weeks before, its just getting to far out of hand it is completely spoilt. Does anyone know a nice quiet place away from it all next year like a log cabin deep in the woods?

Re: Yawn!!! That awful time of year again
People are always afraid to say they hate Christmas, but many do!I know most people enjoy spending time with their families, but why not do it in the middle of the summer where you can be outside in the garden or out on a trip, so not cooped up in a warm house where it is difficult to do your own thing when you want to.
I enjoy nice parties and celebrations, but not when they are all packed into the same month, when everybody else is doing the same thing!

But if you happen to find that log cabin Doc let me know where it sounds quite appealing to hide up till spring 🌷🌼

Re: Yawn!!! That awful time of year again
A very emotional time for many for those who are bereaved or lost and struggling . Somehow this time of year makes it worse .I don't like Christmas yet I do it for my children and yes the days with them are nice but I breath a sigh of relief when it's over .
As for new year , I usually sit with a nice meal and a bottle of merlot and again sigh with relief when it's all over
My dad always said bah humbug to us kids , he never bought us presants .

What makes it awful is the commercial enterprises that see it as a way to get people to spend money with them, so use it as a form of marketing.
For those who believe I think it is nice to go to church and hear the carols, or see the nativity displays. It is also nice when they provide a meal, for the less fortunate in their vicinity, and give them a happy time.
For those who don't believe you could have the family round, on any other day of the year ,.for a nice roast dinner! Just think about it:-
1) No queuing at the shops because you wouldn't be doing it at the same time as everybody else.
2) No money wasted on unwanted presents.
3) Lack of waste means more space in the bins.
4) No competing to have the best decorated house.
5) No Christmas cards to buy, write out and post.
6) And for those who like the caring side of Christmas, you could just invite a lonely person round to join you for Sunday lunch, any day of the year, and still make them happy.
