Couldn't agree more - it used to be fun... these days it's just an excuse to eat too much and drink too much... :puzzled: maybe it's not so bad after all....

Christmas starts officially for me on the 1st dec...The kids in my classes would NOT DARE mention it before.
Then it's the 3 weeks winding them up with xmas parties, santa, nativity etc
Then I come home and I'm knackered!:(
Everybody basical;ly gets whats left on the shelf on Xmas eve...In fact, it's a great time to shop...Everyone's in the pub and the prices are already on 50% off for the january sale!

For goodness sake...It's only 2 or 3 days!...Thank god/allah I don't do Eid as well!...(But obviously for YOU Dad....;))

Christmas, the season of insincerity................................

I'll have two bottles of scotch ...

Yep

Three of Port - the good stuff ...

OK

A bottle of rum ...

Sure

Two cases of Stella ...

You get 3 for the price of two.

OK, 3 it is. A case of the Chardonnay ...

Right

Gallon of stout ...

Yep

4 packets of Hamlet ..

OK

Oh, and 3 bottles each of sweet sherry, vermouth and Baileys.

Looking forward to Christmas?

Nah ... if it weren't for the kids we wouldn't bother.

I blame all this shopping on people who like all things "yellow":pig:

I'm with Jools on this-Christmas-Bah Humbug!
