I don't wany any excuses about not having time to prepare anyone................went shopping in Morrisons on Saturday [before my engine went pop ] and would you believe a whole isle was dedicated to the spirit of Christmas. Almost bought myself a selection box and a chocolate snowman just to prove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 This is why Christmas is shit now...over marketed over hyped and stuffed with commerical bollox. I'd rather go on a nice holiday somewhere hot that b**ger about with Christmas, which is a shame as it used to be special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
how_supra Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 I think I agree. I don't get that christmassy feeling anymore, because months and months before the date christmas is thrown in our faces and it ruins it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 What I don't get is why people seem to think Christmas is about quantity not quality - lots of crappy presents rather than one or two really nice presents. Loads of food rather than a nicely done turkey dinner. Loads of booze rather than a good bottle of wine shared with some great company. Why oh why do people insist on giving rubbish gifts like socks, chocolate santas, or the endless Simpsons spin-offs and tacky-gifty-thingies from department stores? Why not just tell the intended recipient: "here's 20 quid - I didn't know what you wanted / couldn't be bothered to find out" - at least the money wouldn't be a total waste, and it's honest. Every year I hear people bragging / bemoaning how much they've spent on Christmas this year, and later how Christmas is the same every year - blah blah blah, visited by the in-laws, crap tv. Well boo hoo - if you don't like it, don't do it! Signed Scrooge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
