Am I the only one in here who does not like Xm-ASS? This year it is going to be lots of time-management for me as it is the 1st christmas that me and my ex-husband are spending separately and we need to share time with our child... I find Xmass overrated and pointless anyway... especially in this country (it is more traditional in Poland). Made an effort this year - got a Xmass tree, hahaha!
I am looking forward to New Years Eve though - my boyfriend and me as well as a few Turbojugends from Germany are going to invide Prague for 2 days! Drink and Destroy - Cannot wait! What are everybody's plans for New Years Eve?

Around these parts it's always a very pleasant eat-feast, which I don't mind having, but in your situation I certainly wouldn't be to pleased with it either... Time-management on holidays 
For me it's new year I'm not looking forward too. We used to do it with a couple of friends, but you know the score. One gets a girlfriend and drops off, another one gets other friends, etc. Now I most probably will be spending it with the last survivor of the group, at some stranger's place with his friends in the place he goes to Uni... Don't know if I'm looking forward to that

I don't mind Christmas as far as a few bonus days off work but apart from that I really couldn't care less - it's all become so distorted and I don't mean from the Christian bits and pieces.
I fuckin' HATE Christmas, it's PISH PISH PISH 
. OK.
. OK.Being brave is coming home at 2am half drunk, smelling of perfume, climbing into bed, slapping the wife on the arse and saying,"right fatty, you're next!!"
I like Christmas. I like the tacky music in shops and the pretty lights.
I'll second that... Bah HuMbugggggggggg!scotty wrote:I fuckin' HATE Christmas, it's PISH PISH PISH

It is one of those periods of the year that people have the decency to pretend all is peace and loving, and actually try to ACT as if they mean it for at least a week.
Which is fine with me. I like presents, I like a good dinner, I love the light-therapy and we have a luverly Christmas Tree.
And since I have a very nice family and in-laws, these are the times they tend to forget about old age, imminent death, incureable diseases and overall depression. Which makes me smile and feel good a lot.
And there is a speaker right under my apartment window blurting out Nat King Cole, and I just figured out I only have to rewire two cables to let the whole street hear some System Of A Down instead.
IZ.

it's the falseness of people at xmas that pisses me off - but I've said enough of that elsewhere.
haha... tell me about it! I had to spend several XmASSes with my mother-in-law. So I really had to pretend to be nice... which was not easy!lazarus corporation wrote:it's the falseness of people at xmas that pisses me off - but I've said enough of that elsewhere.

Growing up it was always my favorite time of year. Not this time round.
If you can't be with loved ones - for whatever reason - you only feel it more keenly. And it all starts to seem like some evil conspiracy dreamt up to remind you of this.
New Year I've never liked. "Well, last year was awful - let's hope this one's better... awww f**k who am I kidding, I'm off to watch Jools' Hootenany"... Always been seriously under-celebrated by me.

Christmas is great. Cos they play Slade a lot. New Year's Eve, on the other hand, is full of amateurs puking up on your shoes and fat slappers trying to tongue you at midnight. Consequently, I shall, as usual, be baby-sitting and, most probably, playing Mousetrap. I might even splash out on a few humbugs.
And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there.

(But I'm not fat, or a slapper, let's just make that clear...)

i don't mind christmas day now that i've got kids; got robo-raptor to play with this year and i might even get out of cooking (yeah,right! 
) ; everything before and during "the christmas period" and the anti-climax of new year is bollocks.
at least this year i don't have to do the relatives -i haven't got any left and mrs whizz's all hate me nearly as much as i hate them.
our car's just burnt out the clutch (timing!) and charlotte's still breast-feeding so for new years i doubt i'll make it much further than -oooh! sat here!
you've got the right idea ania going to prague. sodium based nazi-crank amphetamine cheap steak-houses practically free beer and the 50p "shine".

Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

Love and peace for everybody....for 2 days. Very hypocrit IMO.
It's got hardly anything to do with celebrating the birth of the Child.
It's got everything to do with food and presents....
Like Izz I do like the lights during the dark days. When I go to work, it's still dark. Back home, it's dark again.
New years eve is fine with me. At least one of the worst years of my life comes to and end....
And I'm gonna have a drink on that one!!!

Christmas died for me when my mother died.
Nowadays I just try to sneak in other peoples families to not be completely alone on that day.

It's not Christmas itself I dislike, it's the month-and-a-half lead-in sorting out the shopping for presents etc.
Christmas itself: Presents, booze, too much food, booze, more food, presents...
And of course James Bond movies on the telly
