Re: is "It Xmas Time " ?
I couldn't care less for the religious aspects.
I like the build up to Christmas in the UK, the fun, the office parties and long boozy lunches.
I like the weeks of preparation baking cakes and making puddings with copius amounts of brandy
I like shopping in the cold, Christmas Carols, warm cozy house all full of Chrisitmas decos, pine cones, and trees and lights and fires.
I like the fuss, the cards, the presents and the extravagance.
Most of all I like sharing it all with people I care about and seeing family and friends, going visiting, seeing the littlies and being made a fuss of by the oldies.

I did used to really enjoy boxing day at my best friends parents house. Very much the traditional stuff. Greeted with a baileys on ice, chatting and catching up whilst her mums in the kitchen fussing. A nice long lunch where we don't leave the table till after cheese and port till late, and then off to the pub.
However - I'm loving the laidback approach to xmas here. Well apart from having my friend round here tonight panicking about our xmas menu and shopping list.....but she's just a panicker so its all good really. Only 4 more days till i'm on the deck of the local on friday afternoon soaking up the sunshine and preparing for 2 weeks of chilling out! (being quite optimistic on the sunshine bit here - after beautiful weekend turned a bit miserable in auckland today)

Re: is "It Xmas Time " ?
You wanna know the truth ? It will just be my husband and I with presents and food and booze....all day on Christmas Day. Bliss. Oh we might stagger over to a neighbours house in the afternoon to honour a social invitation we accepted. Christmas Eve will be a barbeque if the weather is ok, just the two of us, 'cause we like it that way. Boxing Day, no real plans as yet.......bliss.
