Me neither. Massive pain in the arse workwise. 

However I suppose my kids are only young once. Be reet after a pint on xmas eve.

Total shitter for my brother mind, looking like his xmas will be spent in Preston Hospital

I'll be reet once we've finished on Friday but can't be arsed at the moment. Can't stand the dark crappy days - roll on summer

Haven’t heard it since last Christmas 

Christmas is bad enough any year from a pub point of view.Part time festive fuckers all giving dirty looks and 'I always sit there, every Christmas and New year'  but with that World Cup having been on in December it's been double bad.

Apart from the wacky jumpered Christmas part timers we've had festive football wankers.

Roll on January when I'll have the pub to myself.

Do you need me to sort you a sheet of lyrics out for all the large variety of songs you’ll be singing?

There must be at least 3 songs.

It’s probably the last Xmas my daughter is all in for the Father Christmas things. She’s already asking the questions about if he’s real so will spin it out one last time.

Beyond that, I’m just glad of some time off. I like Christmas though I’m a bit miffed they’ve moved the Derby match.

 

Time off work.  What's not to love? Chuck a bit of football in and over indulgence on food and beer, this is as good it gets imo

it Dont feel like Christmas is less then a week away

It's all fucking shite. Being pressured to go shopping when every single other cunt is doing it too, all wanting to buy the same shite at the same time. They should spread Christmas out over the year and do it by date of birth or something. We just had a World Cup in the Winter, so it's hardly pie-in-the-sky. Christmas songs can fuck off too. And decorations. If they were that 'decorative' you'd have them up all year round, you twats.

This time last year at i got "Pelters" for all mentioning that  i would be having mushy peas (home made) on my Christmas dinner, so I'm saying nowt this year.

Rather have a bucket of mushy peas than a slice of fucking turkey. Shittest meat ever. There's a reason we only eat it once a year. Because it's fucking terrible. Like eating an amazon delivery that's been left behind the bin for a week.

Arrrrhhhh!!!, Bet you all tried it though eh?

Mushy peas. That was the thread of last year. Brilliant.

Xmas is always a bit stressful, happy when Boxing Day comes around, that's when I enjoy it that week between is always nice.

16 year old is having her first new years with her friends so that'll be a bit odd not having her around.

The good thing this year has been working at least I don't have to go shopping when everyone else is, saturday was mental in Bromley. Although off to.Ikea again tonight. Urgh.

I love it for the grandkids

We have chicken because frankly turkey is a bit shit and overpriced this time of year.

I strangely don't mind it cold on a barm though.

Cooking for 8 this year, bit of a faff is that, not happy.

I only get involved because of my kids. As soon as they've fucked off and got jobs, I'm done with it entirely. Even if/when they have kids of their own, they can get to fuck. "Grandad's a Muslim now so he doesn't do Christmas" as I'm sat on a beach somewhere with a beer.

I jest of course - but I really do dislike Christmas. It's a freak of an event. Distorted beyond all recognition by Corporate consumerism shite.
