I recall travelling into Nigel Farage territory and to my horror there was a place there called bloody 'Christmas Tree'farm.I'm sure my wife took me there on purpose just to raise my hackles.

My wife and I hibernate on Christmas Day. We don't go out, except to walk the dogs, and we speak to no-one. We allow no visitors until the day is over and the telephone is disconnected.

We watch the Queens Speech before roast beef dinner, then maybe a film , such as "It's a Wonderful Life"

I watch people going to the pub over the road in the later afternoon, in order to say "Merry Christmas, what did you get ?", but our house is already steeped in Sherry, so no need to speak to anyone.

We go to bed around 6pm, absolutely 5hlt-faced and stupidly bloated, cursing the 5hlt presents we bought each other.
Our final words before Boxing Day , are : "Did you keep the receipt ?"

On Christmas day my wife normally goes over to friends,relatives for turkey and all that palaver and I stay at home so we have rarely spent Christmas day together.My wife says that people feel sorry for her and invite her over.She is away again this year.I can't stand bloody turkey either nor bloody mince pies etc etc.

Also I wouldn't call myself a Christian, but I hate the way a religious festival (for those who want to believe) has been hijacked into a huge commercial show-piece of greed and wanton excess, where 'Christmas' has been shamefully replaced by "Winter Festival", etc

Once upon a time Christmas was all about the prophet but now it seems to be all about the profit

We still have two more local bonfire evenings to go, tonight, and next Saturday.
Anyone spotted with a Winter Festival tree may get torched

Definitely Anti-Christmas.
Just been moaning to my wife about me being offered mince pies.Her reply "You are just a bloody misery".I told her I will be if we lose this afternoon and her retort was "That's nothing new after Palace lose".

I took the woofer out for a walk tonight and saw my first Christmas tree in someone's window.

What's the matter with these people ?

Personally I wouldn't even bother, but the missus always wants the tree up. It usually goes up a week before Xmas and down before new year. That's enough.

Martin,
these people are way slow.
b******s in next road to me have had lights & tree up since early October!

put ours up about a week before Christmas.
all 3 girls come around and dress it with the decs.

people spoil it buy rinsing Christmas for 3 months.
should be a by-law afainst it

 


Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

When our daughter was young we used to have a bloody tree in the house.
She insisted on decorating it each year - One year her cousin was over from Australia and this girl started to dress it as well and there was an almighty fracas as my daughter took exception to this.

Glory to God in the Highest

Glory to God in the High St.
