The season is here.
Love it or hate it there is no escape, Christmas is all a round.

Do you throw yourself into the festive spirit, with decorations and tinsel hanging off everything in sight.
Or are you a complete scrooge moaning about the commercialness of the event and grumbling that you have to see your relitives.

What are peoples veiws, what do you like or hate about it?

Middle ground for me, I enjoy christmas - but certainly don't go overboard and such lark annoys me.

But you get to eat christmas dinner! Whats to hate about that! (my fave veggies - sprouts and parsnips!)

out of the 2 i had to vote love it!

Working with some of the people i do i can understand why some would hate the time of year.

Christmas these days is quite sad as it is one big commercial gimmick, I watch the christmas carol every year to to remind me what it's about. The christmas spirit a time of peace.

And if your religious then yes there is the birth of christ.

Merry christmas everyone!!!

I don't love it as much as Samjay who clearly loves it twice!!! Razz

Unfortunately i'm working x-mas day which is a bit poop but generally i really like x-mas. i'm lucky in that i have a close family so it's great to spend time with them and catch up.

i hate christmas however when i'm trying to drive through town on the few thursday evenings before hand though! Mad
