Xmas list for Santa. (61)
SirenLydia: So the shops are nearly full of xmas cards/cake/trees/decorations/prezzies/puds/mince pies
and of course 2009 calendars!
All this and it is only 18th September...................
How early do you start thinking and shopping for xmas?
Do you get into the xmas spirit?
Do you think it's really just a commercial ploy to get our money?
Or are you a Bah Humbug who really is not interested and glad when boxing day comes?
What do you do for that time of year?

Well, like everything else, its been "commercialized" to the point of nausea. The biggest shopping spree of the year: a waste of time to me.
I do my shopping after x-mas. No way I'm going to pay those prices just to go with the flow.

what is mince pie made of?

I have never received a Christmas gift in my life. Not because of some insane religious philosophy but for reasons I have no clue of. I have also never failed to ensure Christmas gifts for my friends and family since I have had resources of my own with which to purchase them. This year I will have lost my mother, and I have not heard from any of my three children in over seven months so I do believe it will be a very quiet and quite lonely time, lacking in most festivities. I for one am not looking forward to this Christmas at all. I do believe it is very commercialized as evidenced by the arrival of Christas shopping almost 4 months in advance of the date. But it is a time when most people have some time off work to spend with their families at least.
This year I will likely just stay home alone and remember better times in my life.

Me too!!!!!When my daughter was young I did the tree, lights, Santa stuff. Once she got older....started cutting back. Now that she doesn't live at home......forget it!!!!!! Why put all that stuff up just to take it back down??
Definitely shop later and save and don't go with the "flow"!!
Makes me a rebel???? Definitely.......I don't follow well!!!!!

It became a habit after my divorce...I always let her have him on christmas because she had the big family and all...the kid cleaned up!
So our christmas was always on new years, we call it X-Mas 2.0!
I can get him twice as much useless stuff from the sales...

I find this very sad sir. Your mothers passing especially. I know what that is like. You could volunteer somewhere, I know it is not the same as being with your family but when they do as you can say "well I volunteered " at whichever place you choose, childrens hospitals are always needing somebody, and there in lays the problem, you don't think anyone wants or needs you, "think again". I will be with my family but will be on here xmas as I am sure a lot of us will as we have not reached our status as couples. So take heart, there is always something to "do" come xmas.

I love your reasoning!...
It doesn't really matter so long as the thought is there.

The real old recipe had beef in,
now it's just beef suet included in most.
I prefer Vonney's vegetarian one.
Like everything, so many variations on a theme.
