For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I must be the odd one out, like to cook a special meal on christmas day, enjoy choosing and giving gifts and sending cards, enjoy decorating, enjoy spending time with my (small) family. I like christmas TV, cheesy movies and old films, cold leftovers and chilling out. I miss like mad the loved ones I can't share it with any more.
I ignore the ads and so one, the unrealistic expectations and the commercial razz, its not difficult.

I used to love Christmas until people went mental three or months before the day. Commercialism has wrecked it for traditionalists and those who have latched on to that and get in debt for it have made it into a farce. If only we could turn back the clock and prepare for Christmas as we used to. Saving for goodies and giving people one gift that they appreciated without the giver having to get a loan to pay for presents. Too late and I for one will be glad when the (now) farce is over. However, Merry Christmas to those who like me, mourn the passing of how it used to be.
Chistmas is pretty much as it has always been, with noise, licentiousness, drink and gift giving

Well done Christmas-lovers for your answers which challenge my view and others.
I still believe it has become far too commercialised like most of life these days. It's about grab the money and run.
I am an atheist and have watched Money and TV "celebraties" become the new gods and to hell with religions which are a nice set of fairy-tales although I prefer Hans Christian Andersen.
Nope I'm not a misery-monger (I hope) and will act out my obligatory cheerful manner.
But that apart, Christmas-lovers I welcome your posts and know you will enjoy the season. Well done for bucking the trend!
A happy seasonal holiday to all subscribers.
Luv,

Have already p-ed off several younger members of family by announcing all gift-giving will be in form of donation to Sally Army. Oh how they fumed! I concer totally with you Brenda: return to simple home-based happiness. Celebrate each other, have a splendid meal, sit round the fire and tell ghost stories.
