I was getting a bit fucked off with the whole thing but since having kids I'm enjoying it way more the last few years. Probably helps that I don't have a tv so I'm not bombarded with shite from October onwards, and only need to buy a couple of presents which I just get online to save he hassle of town.

Used hate it but since the kids came along it's a hugely enjoyable time of year. My 2 get mental excited about it and it's hard not to get into the spirit of it with them.

I do however echo comments about cunts in work etc who turn full on retard about it. I'm avoiding any work sessions because some tools there think that a night out needs festive party games etc.... Fuck. Right. Off.

The childer make it bearable alright. Young lad has his heart send on a Nintendo Switch, with a few games thrown in and presents for the nephews and it's already 400 bar before I even put up a tree or look after the Mammy!

I'm riddled with children myself so I like the whole thing once it hits Xmas eve and shit is all done. The sheer joy of the smaller lads who haven't been tainted by YouTube unboxing videos is great to see.

The run up though... fucking torture


i love xmas!
2 weeks of drinking and taking drugs. whats not to like lol

The thing I hate about Christmas most is explaining to people why I don't celebrate it. Yes, I'll be on my own drinking wine, eating pizza and probably watching Lord of the Rings from start to finish.... What's not to understand?

I had to put up the decorations in our place. Opened a box of lights (we sell them), hung the entire thing a hook, plugged it in beside the window and left it like that.
The boss approved, though he thought I may have gotten a bit too OTT actually plugging them in.

Not too bothered about it, our business doesn't really get any busier in the run up, and on the Saturday before it, I'm flying out to NYC.

Yup. On the wine now. For digestive purposes...

Same here. Purely medicinal...

Feel like I ate a ton of spuds, struggling to get the booze in, still going to try though...

Whiskey, wine and a little of of gin. No beer this year surprisingly. I'll save that for new year I guess
