I wanted to get this t-shirt but my lady loves x-mas and said there's no way

I never grew up celebrating it so for me it's just a season of really terrible ear worm music that you can't seem to avoid, rubbish tv & excessive expenditure.

Unfortunately her baby bump would make her look more like mr Claus .... Or did you mean for me?

Your feelings towards Christmas will change when the little un's here. Christmas time with your own kids is awesome. ☃️🎄🎅👍

Honestly those points can extend to the entire year. Think I’ve heard like one or two good new songs this year and TV is shite except for a handful of programmes. Though I will concede that December is especially bad for the wallet 😉

I think you just sorted it for my bro! Where did you find this?

The excessive expenditure is especially needless (speaking as someone who has worked in retail for 5 years), but even persononally, I just don't see the point. It gets out of hand, and people get stressed over what would normally be something trivial. But at Christmas it's the end of the world.

I am, however, welly jelly of the Pokemon advent calendars that some of the staff here have on their desks 😤😣

😂

The MLP one I have is still super cute though 😜

Look @Teapot, the perfect shirt for you! (and yes I will disown you for buying one).

I really like Christmas even despite the hassle it causes. I like most holidays though, so I guess I'm just sentimental...

It’s the only time of year I can watch Die Hard.

I like Christmas. It's like, the only day out of the year where being ********d by early afternoon is not only acceptable, but neigh expected.

Damn straight!

I boycotted Christmas last year on account of having no income...

I...liked it! 😨

It was on Zavvi. I ended up settling for a plumbus one (it was an early birthday present for me lol)

I like Die Hard and watching @Demelza and the rabbit open their presents. And Christmas dinner, I guess. The rest of it I can do without, really.

For me Christmas is eating dinner, getting festively merry and opening and giving some gifts. There’s a few Christmas specials I like to watch and some traditions to uphold (the Vice City/Shippuden combo) and now that Robbie Rotten gif I’ll make a yearly thing too as a tribute to Stéfan.

Some people do take things a bit too far though, I think I heard that bloody Mariah Carey song before Halloween had even had its day!

Getting ********d is for life, not just for Christmas 🍻

Before I lost my late mam my parents had a caravan set up near my Scouser brother, we would have dinner with him (whichever other brother wasn't in work near Christmas) I think last time the Scouser stayed at ours but I don't remember doing much, no ones said anything about coming or going though so it's just two single atheists in the house this Christmas which makes it mean ??? I don't know.

Look forward to my haberdashery sharing some Christmas cheer and a sort of Christmas card here closer to the day based off I don't know... goblin slayer? Otherwise I'm not sure that I'm doing anything at all

I'm not a massive lover of dinners, but on Christmas I do make the exception. I don't have loads of people to buy for, but it's still something I can do without. I don't particularly expect anything gift-wise, and I'm making a conscious effort these days to just not consume so much pointless "stuff". My Mum has a habit of just wanting to buy small, gimmicky things I can well do without, so I put my foot down this year.
