I'm not a fan of Christmas, and haven't been since I was little. For years I spent the holidays with friends and family, but now I don't mind spending it alone, at least not as much as I once did.
Oddly enough that's how I found this place, Dec. 26th '06. I was here at home alone with nothing much to do and typed in "forums", looking for a four wheel drive forum a friend had told me about. This place came up so I took a peek, and the rest is history.

no at all,tend 2 go in and look at the kids stuff,me nephew celtic daft,great kids selection thereno, i don't dread it at all, in fact looking4ward2 da clocks going back 2 night, the long dark evenings, wrapping up well against the cold, seeing the lights everywhere, people laden down with bags, and then the franticness of getting last min prezzies
i love the whole package, although do admit, it is an anticlimax when the day arrives, it is really4 kids and santa.
the only part dat would depress me is coming to new years, knowing i didn't keep any of the last resolutions and making a whole lot more!!

Godsgift: I just watched a Christmas ad on TV and it filled me with despair. Sometimes I'd just like to crawl into bed in early December and come out when it's all over. Am I the only one who feels like a failure as the rest of the world plays happy families?
No..your not alone in that...Wish I had my family to play happy families with...
...oh now look your making me cry
...but yea I don't really like christmas either...but when I'm home I love it...Godsgift: Now, that's what I'm talking about!
ah now come on folks... nothing is ever that bad... try and look on the positive side and why not accept invitations from friends... you might enjoy it........ my family has shrunk in 9 yrs from 10 to 5 and getting dumped on xmas eve too and u wont see me complaining... come on chin up and do something positive ....
its only christmas...
Think it would be different if kids were younger. Not the same when they're older. Not the same excitement.
Will go through the motions of course and will thoroughly enjoy the build up, shopping, decorating work party etc..
But the day itself.....

All of this has me thinking, would normally get an invite to my sisters for Christmas (my daughter spends the Christmas with her mum every year). Might cook Christmas dinner chez moi yet and send out invites, must think about it !!!
