Are you in the christmas spirit yet?

[theboybilly]

Yes I am...nearly all spending done. Retirement by the New Year so work will no longer ruin my festive fun ever again. No reason to miss a game any more either. My new life starts now

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

If you get an opportunity to drink the Dark Star Rockhead a 6% American brown ale do so. You will be in the Christmas spirit.

Avoid the Creme Brûlée btw.

I'm not religious and don't like to be hypocritical, hence I'm not a Christmassy type of person.
That said, I am a New Years type of person and celebrate this with gusto.
My kids think that they get Christmas presents, but they are actually getting New Year presents a week early.

Congratulations.
Sounds brilliant.

No. Trouble I find is by the time Xmas day comes around I'm totally fed up with it.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Bought two tins of Roses. Eaten them both.

Tins! None of that plastic crap then.

I looked at my calendar yesterday and noticed that there is only 1 Leeds manager to go before Christmas, so I am starting to think about it.

 

[vegster]

No, Crimbo is still a long way off but I am already under pressure to get the tree down from the loft.

Thanks to the annual shrink, this is becoming easier and easier now days....in my day they were Kilo tins.

 

[Mellotron]

Watched 3 Christmas films now, and off to a mini break in Iceland on Sunday. Gonna be WELL Christmas after that.

 

[Nibble]

I'm off to Berlin tomorrow so I imagine the spirit will start then. Drinking and Christmas markets galore.

 

[Simster]

No. We had our work Christmas party yesterday. It was very average and didn't feel remotely festive. I am going to Lapland tomorrow with my 5 year old, so I do need to start feeling Christmassy, just for his sake!

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Nope. Its called Christmas EVE for a reason. And that's when i will start to even entertain it. And it ENDS Boxing Day.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Twas at my post-coma record low of a "mere" 16 days off sick this year, until a devious flu invaded my system last weekend and has had me back up in the low 20s, day-off-wise, so that to me says of the beginnings of winter and Christmas just around the corner. The positives of this maladious week have been in getting my TiVo levels down to 93%, meaning that i have room to record over Christmas whilst away, also putting in my mind happy seasonal thoughts over the Christmas Radio Times and me marking my selections with a luminous marker stolen from work. Rejoice! wheezily.

Tins! None of that plastic crap then.

You got me. I was using "tins" because "I've eaten two plastics" makes me sound like a cannibal at Old Trafford

 

[AlbionPics&SouthCoastTwit]

Too much religion creeping into Xmas nowadays for my liking

Of course you mean too much religion creeping into your winter festival celebration. Call it what it truly is. Worship of father chris............no, shopping, present giving, over indulgence of alcohol and partying, eating and traveling. Singing carols with no religious base, i.e. "Frosty the snowman."

 

[LlcoolJ]

Religious people complain about the commercialisation of Christmas but conversely it was a "winter festival celebration" long before the Christians nicked it.

I think it's good that it has less and less to do with religion and more to do with having fun.
