Are you looking forward to Christmas?

Personally, I think Christmas is just too commercialised. I like traditional Christmas things like Christmas dinner, walking in the snow (pre global warming), home-made Christmas cards, carols etc.

What I hate is the over-commericialisation, the drunkenness, the debt that people run up, too much money spent on kids presents etc.

So what do you think?

you should have added more options joe, like no, but i dont hate it and who really gives a s***e for most guys out there its there misses job to do the present buying / shopping for food and the guys just hand over their hard earned

for me personally its for the kids and if they are happy then i dont get ear ache!

Must say. I personally feel its far, far too commercialised now sadly

Just seems to me that it has no true meaning anymore
(or is it me getting older)

Christmas to me is downtime.

it is the only time of the year when i can have two weeks off and not give a stuff about work.

people don't want messy builders about their house at this time of the year. in fact the phone is quiet, but the house is noisy. great!

it means i can actually ENJOY the time off rather than just tolerate it.

this means enjoying Christmas and all that goes with it.

anyone fancy carol singing with me tonight.........?
