If I can start.... I really dont like the blue and white non Christmas lights put up this time of year by local councils either because those LEDs are cheap or the designs say nothing

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.It's awful isn't it retro, I NEVER wanted to be one of those people who didn't like Christmas and have to grin and bear it when people go on and on about it (as I used to), but things change as life moves on and there's nowt we can do about it. I make the most of it and still feel occasional joy at the odd times.
A lot less Christmassy here this year. All the kids are at high school and beyond so they’re not getting the hype from school. We’ll put decorations up but it is a pre-lit tree (because of the cat) and we’re doing 12 day advent calendars instead of the advent calendar bag of doom. On the plus side, boy #1 is home on 14 December which will be lovely having him here for three weeks (and everyone where they should be).
I've disliked it for a long time. As soon as the yearly frenzy starts, all I can hear is "spend, spend, spend". The shops are full of hideous tat...nothing different, and it will all be there 50% off in a few weeks.
God help those with kids...I don't envy them.
Daughter is the same as me...so we are happy to just slob about. I do know it would be different if there were grand kids. Don't tell DD though...

Christmas was always my magical time of year. My mother was Devonian and we spent Christmas every year with aunts and uncles in the true rustic village style they celebrated it.I always maintained that tradition for my mother and family.The kids loved it. Now they are grown up I find they are,for their own selfish reasons, not interested.
They can stay on there own,skint and friendless for all I care over Christmas. My younger son will be accompanying us for our Sojourn away and all the more merrier for his company. Shame that I now enjoy Christmas in the style I used to enjoy ,but no longer with my full family with lovely young kids , in another country.
