The Christmas 2013 thread

It's that time of year again! The Christmas decorations are up at my local shopping mall and foods have been for sale for more than a month already. Time to get with the mood!

All christmas means to me now is getting majorly ****ed up and having a seasonal excuse. I've got no excuse at thje moment other than being an alcaholic

Re: The Christmas 2013 thread

To me it means having a two week break from work and spending much of it with my family and friends. The hard stuff is shopping for presents in the run up - especially here in Australia where there just isn't the variety of online stores selling goods at competitive prices. But my kids are virtually adults now so it's not really a big deal these days...
