    It's only the first few days of December...

    But we've had ..

    Black Friday

    Cyber Monday

    Lee had all his decor up late November !!:eek:

    Spend,Spend, Spend..........................estimates are we're £1billion up on last year, so the economy must be on the fecking mend:cigar:

    Now on the radio…….We already have Slade/Wizard and Kirsty McColl and the Pogues...................... FFS:devilish:

    On the TV it's talk of Nativity plays for the 'little people' at Primary School and whether the Christian message is being lost

    Wall to wall schmultzy Christmas TV ads everywhere:ban:

    Shop windows are full of fake Reindeer and Santas, with gut wrenching sparkle & glitter

    Foods shops are full of over indulgent crap food...I bet the slimming companies will be gearing up for the January diets

    The average household will spend £750 on Christmas lunch, really? £750 on food and drink FFS


    It's just one fecking commercial whirl and it's getting worse each year

    Grumpy bastard, yep.................................roll on January 2nd, FFS … HAPPYFUCKINXMAS!

    Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall
    It's the time that every Santa has a ball
    Does he ride a red nosed reindeer
    Does a ton-up on his sleigh
    Do the faries keep him sober for a day.
    So here it is Merry Xmas
    Everybody's having fun
    Look to the future now
    It's only just begun.
    Are you waiting for the family to arrive

    Are you sure you got the room to spare inside
    Does your granny always tell ya
    That the old songs are the best
    Then she's up and rock and rollin' with the rest.
    So here it is Merry Xmas
    Everybody's having fun
    Look to the future now
    It's only just begun.
    What will your daddy do when he sees
    Your mama kissin' Santa Claus
    Ah ah

    Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall
    Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall
    Do you ride on down the hillside
    In a buggy you have made
    When you land upon your head
    Then you bin slayed.
    So here it is Merry Xmas
    Everybody's having fun
    Look to the future now
    It's only just begun.

    So they can start advertising for you to spend again for Valentines? Ha ha ha
    I hate all this over the top Christmas nonsense too; much prefer the Christmases as a kid when having cold meats on the table and meeting up with the whole family was the norm.

    Even @Mozzersaints had his decs out in November despite calling @Lidday for doing the Santa run in November.
    I am all for Christmas, not the commercial one that starts in September.
    I hate what it has become.

    Being involved with children from poor backgrounds as part of my job the one thing that pisses me off at this time of year is the greed and the massive amounts of money wasted on total shite. They should actually think about ppl who have fuck all and make some other people enjoy the simple things about Xmas. I always donate and buy presents for children in my area and I also get my kids to give one of their gifts up to kids who get very little.

    these posts are exactly what Im saying, christmas as a kid or with a youngster is the best time ever Lee…theres no better feeling than watching their faces light up ….BUT it seems now that it is too extravagant ,OTT etc ….what did you get as a kid ? poss a new etch a sketch ? a chocolate orange ? An Action Man with real hair? ..NOW ..its the latest megagigabite Laptop or top of the range carbon Pushbike with 50 gears on it , costing more than your annual mortgage….and you will get it for them cos the little sod next door is having one ..you HAVE to keep up with them

    Christmas at our house is what we make it. Not how others would try to make it for us.

    No need just donate toys in your area most the time local tv or radio advertise where to drop the toys off ie places like asda etc
