It's supposed to be Christmas Eve in the drunk tank, you utter bastards, not November The Bloody 19th. Don't get me wrong, I love a bit of Christmas music, but I do not want to be getting up for work in mid November to listen to that. December 1st: not a problem at all. But SPARE ME November.

The whole Xmas thing has become so commercialised with many shops starting their pre-Xmas sales in October and then advertising their New Year sales that start Boxing Day blah blah blah, then its all those holiday adverts on telly from Boxing day too.

Then just as you think the Xmas / New Year sales frenzy is over the supermarkets then start stocking Valentines stuff and Easter Eggs!

I know its 'Humbug' but as the years roll past I feel less and less like indulging in the materialistic binge that Xmas has become and am content to just savour time with family and friends.Thats whats important. Oh and going to the Boxing Day footie but...........

Shite xmas songs. Actually hold that thought, ALL xmas songs as they're all shite.

*With the possible exceptions of Fairytale of New York and Stop The Cavalry

I heard that during the 5' or so that I had Fart FM imposed on me.

But back on topic - I really get wound up by people who miss the "T" out of Christmas when posting on NSC

Christmas songs played before December 1st.
Decorations up before December 1st.
Christmas adverts on tele before December 1st.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

All of it. The whole thing. In Dickens' Christmas Carol you were expected to work on Christmas morning, and as for two weeks off until the new year - forget it.

Back to Victorian values I say.

Have you ever thought of auditioning for the part of Scrooge in your local panto?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Too much religion creeping into Xmas nowadays

 

[spongy]

Walked into the local pub this evening for a quick after work 4 pints, the chrismas decks were up, went up yesterday apparently.

Chrismas songs in November
The £150 list I got given by sister for my nieces/nephew (I love them but no fcuking way, I dont even have £150 to myself every month)

Ive never felt chrismassy until chrismas eve since I left school and school holidays are but a distant memory.

 

[BBassic]

I hate the looks I get from people at work when they find out I loathe Christmas and all the commercialised bullshit that goes with it.

 

[The Modfather]

Bloody xmas songs

 

[bassking]

WORK. Id like the 3 weeks off just before to start getting into it.
