Are You a Traditionalist ? (47)
annaroach: When it comes to Christmas,
Do you go along with the hype , the excess, the madness of shopping
in huge crowds, the waste, the unwanted gifts, the debt incurred for people
that can't really afford it.
I for one am not a traditionalist, and don't go along with all the madness !
If I could I would spend christmas day just like any other day.Do you go along with the hype , the excess, the madness of shopping
in huge crowds, the waste, the unwanted gifts, the debt incurred for people
that can't really afford it.
I for one am not a traditionalist, and don't go along with all the madness !

A few years ago , i did insist that i spent it alone, and just treated it like any other day
I have 3 grandchildren now, that includes a newborn grandson, so i guess that will be nice

it's the nice time spent with loved ones that is important , yes over a nice
mean and some mulled wine

For us Christmas is still a religious celebration before anything else... It marks the birth of Jesus and it's about the family in the sense of togetherness... Christmas is a quiet evening with your closest and dearest ones...When I was a kid we didn't have presents on Christmas but the morning after the New year's eve...

Anyone who drinks mulled wine on Christmas Day , doesn't deserve any rights in this world ...avoid them if possible, i don't mean to be a spoilsport but , i think

Christmas became too Politically with commercial big business here in the UK in the 1980's when on one hand people were being sacked and big businesses put up the prices of all goods so I sad then Not for me any longer and its got even worse in the last 10 years. Now I just say Bah Humbug

I'm not religious and don't care about Christmas as a religious high time. Even less so about its commercial aspect. (That's more important nowadays, than any other and I find it repulsing.)
I like New Year, though, and try to make it slightly more, than any given day: a bottle of champagne and some nice food. A gift or two to those I care about. Nothing fancy, just a sign of attention.

Not good ,when people do go into debt for it, that pressure shouldn't be there.------ This thread is Archived ------
