I'm not a big fan of xmas, wouldn't go as far as saying I hate it, just don't like it much.

I think Christmas should be SOLEY for kids, buying for the misses or letting them know what you want is all b*llocks, no fun in that.

Sounds soft, but I get more fun in seeing my neice and nephews get all excited getting their pressies and the whole seasonal decorations, the tree, the lights etc etc.

Loved Christmas as a kid, as an adult it is just a reason you have to spend loads of cash lol!!!

And I thought it was just it was just me!!!!
Hate the commercial-ness bullshit of it all nowadays, getting us all to part with our money!!!!

Christmas as it is was invented by the Victorians. Before that it was an annual religious festival.
Santa, or Saint Nicholas, to give him his correct name was originally depicted in green not red........until a well known cola brand got their mitts on him, so every time you see him you're supposed to think of that drink.

or so I was told!!

Merry Christmas
