I hate xmass!

[Guest]

I hate this time of year.

All the bullshit commercialism, the lights, the adds, the hypocricy, xmass carols blarring over loud speakers in shopping malls. Makes me want to vomit. The decorations at work, everyone asking "what are you doing over xmass"? Why do people ask that when everyone just eats too much, gets pissed and argues with family!

The only good thing is the fact I don't see my co-workers for a few days.

Boxing day is my favourite day of the year = 264 days from the next farking xmass.

Bah hum bug!

Chook.

I hate this time of year working in retail,i always feel frazzled by end of trade Christmas Eve and it takes a few days to get over it.

HH has it been a poor one this year ?

I too am not a big fan of the commercialism of Christmas yet enjoy catching up with friends and good family

I reckon it gets all good again when you have kids especially young ones.

I agree Kingbilly.
It is a time to catch with friends and family.
We have a new baby in the family, my niece has a 6 month old, so it will be good to see them. My daughter is 15 now so christmas has changed for her a bit too. I just love seeing the kids faces when they open thier gifts.
I'm just a big kid myself, I love spoiling the family.

Oh! Chook, Bah Humbug to you too you old Fart.

Merry Christmas to you all, and a happy new year.
May all you wish for come to pass in 2011.

Actually been a week to week propsition Kingbilly,some weeks have been really strong,some so,so,overall our store has done pretty well this year and has made budget pretty easy but some of our bigger stores are struggling a bit.

I do enjoy the catching up with friends and family but it gets so hectic combining the catching up and working extra hours at this time of year.One year i would like to have the whole of December off just to be able to enjoy it for what it is.

thats nice to read kramer, i agree with you kingbilly!

[Guest]

I love it. My wife does all the shopping and gets it done well before Dec is upon us. This year the wife and kids ar in England so I am home alone but that is fine. I get to catch with them on skype via webcam.

For me it is all about the kids. As for the commercialism, it is sad but I just look past that and take the time for what it is supposed to be about. Good will to all, share some time with family and friends.

I will say one thing though, if you don't get on with your family, then stay at home and don't see them. Nothing worse than dragging your sorry arse to a get together that you are not going to enjoy.

Have a good Christmas all and if you go to the boxing day sales, get me a present for my birthday which is on the 28th...
