Yes , lets take something that a lot of people look forward to enjoy, even believe in and consign to the dust bin. Next ? how about living, that can be pretty tedious sometimes as well | |

I look forward to June.Mid summer.Light lights ,long days,no stress about buying presents nobody wants really and no pressure of people to buy unnecessary presents.
It is the worst time of the year for those who have lost family and the pressure I mention makes it feel worse.
The spirit of Christmas is now a commercial exercise
Johnson killed thousands last year by not having the guts to "cancel" Christmas. | |

I’ve mixed feelings about Christmas.
It’s probably the one occasion lots of families get to come together, particularly in these parts where lots of youngsters have moved away to forge careers etc. That is a very important and I can totally understand the outrage people feel towards our illustrious leader with regards to last year.
Christmas has definitely become a commercial exercise and it’s a very difficult time for lots of families who are under financial pressures. The spiritual side of Christmas has in my opinion been on the retreat for a long time and I’d guess that a significant number of people don’t give the spiritual side of things any consideration.
I’m more of a bah humbug kind of guy towards the commercialism but we do our bit to support the less fortunate. Wifey has made Christmas dinner for lonely and elderly neighbours, we also donate presents and gifts to the less well off. | | | |

Most feel the same but won’t admit it because of the pressure I mention | |

Our Christmas will be the same as it has for 5 years, just the three of us, nothing too flash or expensive.
We went down the route of asking our son specifically what he wants for Christmas, he doesn't get all of what he wants but he also doesn't get anything he doesn't want. He is much more grateful without any pretence.
We have an open air beer over the garden wall with our neighbours on both sides (weather permitting) and we keep an eye on an elderly neighbour though she goes to family in England from Eve to Boxing day.
We record things to watch weeks in advance and myself and my wife always watch "Its a wonderful life" and pretend for a wee while that the world is a nice place. We'll walk the dog, play board games and relax. Quiet and nice. | |

Christmas is a wonderful time of the year. A where families come together and have some fun, laughter and love. If you don't like it don't celebrate it and do what makes you happy.
Life is too short to be a miserable Victor Meldrew who complains about everything | |

Nobody can cancel things like Christmas, Easter or eating chips, how you live your life and to what end, that is important. What your values are and how you interact with your family and close friends is what matters. Call it what you like, but people,like Boris Johnson overall shouldn’t have any effect on anything you generally do. |  |

Hope you have a q shift.
I’ve worked the majority of Christmas’s over the last 30 odd years and know I’ve missed a lot of family stuff. This year for the first time in many years, I am going to be off and am looking forward to it. [Post edited 13 Dec 2021 22:00]

I'm normally a bah humbug kind of person, but the last few years have taught me how much family means to me..
I think this year, I will give a little bit more. |  |
