for it to be as little grief as possible

What do you think you'll get? Are you even bothered anymore given that most of you have seen 50+ Christmas Days already?
a month filled with endless grief about the day and all the shite that surrounds it.

I'll lend you my hat.



I was going to wear it on Xmas day, but I'll make do with the other one that says 'bah humbug' on it. (I genuinely own both of them.)

I always try and take your posts with a pinch of salt, sometimes a handful, sometimes a van load.

But really, you're just a bit miserable aren't you?

What makes you happy shiva? What would you rather do on Christmas day?

On a serious note I have a shit ton of work on and work from home. Because my parents were coming out we have taken my son out of nursery for the month, ostensibly so they can see him and spend the time babysitting while I work. The reality is they are both ****ing senile and I am babysitting both them and my son while trying to get a metric shit ton of stuff done before everyone ****s off for Christmas holidays, straight after Christmas we are flying to the UK to see the wife's senile parents, again where I will have to work and babysit whilst wrestling with the worst internet connection known to mankind.

Normally I just hate the palava and unnecessary stress that abounds at this time of year. I really fail to see why every year its such a ****ing drama for one day. As a hobby I spend my weekends running motorsports events and every year run the desert challenge rally with 150 moving objects across the empty quarter, I fail to see why that is easier to arrange and run that than christmas ****ing dinner.

Whilst I am really looking forward to having christmas with my wife and son, the rest of it can go **** itself this year.

I agree with your point about a whole heap of fuss for one day. I also agree that it is month(s) of bollocks in the run up.

The bit I most agree with is in bold at the bottom. The reason I now like Christmas is because I get to spend time with the family and friends.

Don't get me wrong - it's not fun to have to pick every year or be told every year when you're a kid whether you see Mum or Dad at Xmas - that blows, but now (and for your with a nipper) the thing that's great is it instinctively makes you focus on family...which is something I think a lot (not all) people overlook for 364 days a year.

Now stop ****ing about replying to me about Christmas, do your work and enjoy family time.

I have a dress ring which is sapphire and diamond and was thinking about doing sapphires and diamonds to reduce the cost. We shall see
