Gareth - gonna be a hard day huh buddy??

Christmas is so over commercialised nwadays.

for me it just reminds me that im not with my family, or have no famiyl should i say.

I either spend christmas on my own, or round someone elses house feeling like a spare part.....

Just finished doing my xmas shopping online tonight, I love Play.com.

I loved xmas as a kid but it means nothing now, just the same old re-runs on tv and being nice to people you don't like.
One bonus for me is it's our busiest time at work so loads of overtime.


Gareth, it's gonna hard for you mate, I really feel for you.

Maria, , even though you did infract my ass.

Looking forward to the break from 24th to 5th January, but Christmas is all too commercialised for my liking and there are alot of people this year who are financially in the mire too - and I do feel for those who are experiencing hardship.

Cant say as im going to really enjoy this year, as my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer a few months back, the bloody stuff has spread round his body quicker than hamilton round silverstone!!!! so the docs think he wont last much longer than xmas!!

But hey, seeing the kids faces on xmas morning will perk things up a bit, i hope.

christmas is a pain in the arse!

shopping is a nightmare!
everyone thinks the world is ending in asda!
kids want everything and appreciate nothing!
feeling obliged to be nice to people!
getting and giving presents you'd never want or need!
money money money!
shit weather as it's never a white christmas!
fook all on telly apart from the same shitty repeats every year!

need i go on?

Good: Got a couple of weeks off work. Nice food and drink and a nice rest, and get to see the family which doesn't happen so often these days.

Bad: Always spend loads of money and struggle to find Christmas prezzies for my family because they never know what they want.

Generally okay though, especially not being at work and commuting for a couple of weeks!
