Christmas

We usually schedule our next shopping order between boxing day and news years day and its dead as everyone is stocked up to the brim.

 

Ba humbug to christmas, if Mrs T wasn't working we would be on a plane out of here possibly to Mexico.

 

Traditional tea-total affair then, @HarryS

I actually enjoy Christmas. I enjoy remembering Christmas' past and remembering those who are no longer with us but who made those Christmas' special. I like the way we all have to give a bit of extra thought to those we'll be spending the occasion with *their* likes/dislikes and in return, they afford us that little bit of extra thought.
Most years Mr "M" is working at Christmas so I like to make it as special as possible for the time he *is* able to be with us and, equally, special for those who are here while he *isn't* with us.
I like how it brings gaiety to a very drab Winter time.
If I focussed just on the commercialism of it - I'd probably dislike it intensely. But, then, I don't choose to focus on that aspect too much.

 

"M"..... if Mr "M" is working at Christmas does that mean he's.........shhhhh, you know who?

 

Jesus?
William Franklyn?

 

Same here only got interested in Xmas since we had our little one.
I do enjoy doing the cooking bit too

 

I love christmas. We usually have a house full of close family and friends on christmas day, either at my gaff or my sister's. Its going to be slightly strange this year though. Two close family lost, plus two that have split from their other halves. Still, it should save a bit of washing up.

 

I always get away with the washing up clueless1. ..I do all the cooking so granny always says the cook never washes the dishes lol..
