I had a guy order online but got his own address wrong, so I rang to speak to him and got his wife, told her who I was and that I was calling about her helmet order, then got in trouble for ruining her xmas surprise! P**s off. Who buys their wife a cycle helmet for xmas anyway? And if its such a big surprise why put her name downin the contact box?

I am sick of seeing stupid lights on peoples houses, and driving slowly because sad muppets are driving at walking pace looking at said stupid lights. Fed up of seeing winos dressed as a fat burglar in a red suit just for an excuse to have kids on thier laps. Fed up of hearing that toothless bastard pogue git wailing on the radio (don't mind mariah though.....).

To take the absolute p**s now the local council have decided to take it upon themselves to hold a "late night shopping fayre" in the village, closing it completely. I have never heard of a late night shopping fayre, nor know what this has to do with xmas? This means I cant get near my house, and there is currently a ferris wheel full of happy,smug little children in our car park, and some giant teacups in the spot where my transit van should be.

Great.

Merry fricking xmas everyone.

is your real name victor meldrew??? lol

Christmas is indeed a complete con.

How many people actually go to church, or even celebrate the Jesus bit anymore. Just a few crazy christain types probably in their zimmer frames or multicoloured buses.

Its all a commercially based scheme to get us to spend money on crap and keep the economy turning over in our consumer driven society. Some of the retail numbers are frightening - something like half of the years sales in 4 weeks.

Christmas should be abolished and replaced with a national holiday in the summer when peeps can do something with the time off other than watching rubbish telly whilst it chucks it with rain outside.

Spot on. Once the shops have had all your money they will have easter eggs in the shops by boxing day

Christmas is what you make it though, isn't it. If you want to bankrupt yourself, thats up to you though, if you are stupid enough to pander to all your kids wants, thats up to you too.

As for people who go to church on Christmas Day, probably far more than attend on a regular weekly basis. I know quite a few who do, as they like to think they are 'religeous' and do their bit over Christmas.

You can't blame shops for trying, just make Christmas what you want of it.

I'm enjoying this thread now! Does this mean I'm enjoying Christmas too


Another thing that bothers me about Christmas is why people feel the need to lie to their kids that some fat weirdo in a red suit comes down the chimney (even if they've not got one) and leaves presents if they've been good. All sounds a bit dodgy to me.

If I ever have kids I'll be telling them straight that its one big lie.

cause, when they are little, it is a way of keeping them calm, and it stops them hunting for the presents, and in the same way we use the Tooth Fairy and other things. But you got to be sensible, I have always told the kids, I have to buy their presents, Santa just brings them.
