OK, I despair!
Driving home last night and I turn up a street and there was a house all trimmed up and lit up with xmas decs. We're talking neon snowflakes, plastic snowmen and a chuffing lit up santa climbing up the wall. What the ?
IT'S NOVEMBER ffs.
Anyone here dec'd up yet?

, Naw mate but the missus has been nagging me to make a start. Got me own way last year and didn't put up a single baubel or piece of tinsel and neither did she , thought we'd outbluff each other into making the other sort it out. Xmas came and went without a decoration in sight , miserable B'stards that we are, on the bright side we didn't have to take anything down

No true decorations but the city's had the Christmas wreaths up on lamp posts for a couple of weeks and the shops have been blaring the holiday music since Halloween. I tell ya, the Yanks have the right idea with Thanksgiving at the end of November...keeps the Christmas nonsense confined to December anyway.

There was a lady in the estate I live in always put hers up the day after Halloween. But she passed away earlier this year. But the Christmas trees seem to going up rightly now.
I always put mine up on the last Saturday in November. But not this year. The other half went out today and bought a 42" telly and its in the corner I usually put my tree up in. Hopefully the telly goes up on the wall on Sunday so I'll put mine up on Sunday night!!!!

Most people seem more concerned about all the nonsensical bollox that surrounds Christmas than the actual reason why the holiday exists in the first place. It's a f*cking joke and a disgrace that it's that way. I've become so disenchanted with the whole charade now that I simply wish it would just quickly come and then f*ck off again. Some clowns need to be told that Christmas last a week and not 2 f*cking months. I swear, if Halloween were not there in October, it would all start well before November and that's a fact.

Actually the whole christmas thing is a joke (isnt it funny? the older we get the more we sound like our granddad). Anyway, shouldnt it be a case of if you believe in religion then by all means celebrate, but if you dont then ....well.... dont ! And this is what christmas is. Its either a religious event or a franchise. I also find it amusing how my kids dont believe in santa but tell them they are getting sod all for xmas then teary eyes and "no saint nick?" bloody kids !

spot on mate. This is the reason I dont bother with it. I do not believe in any religion so I feel I shouldn't celebrate it. Maybe if i had kids I'd make an effort for the kids but until then... fk xmas.

i try to have as little to do with it has possible. my perfect christmas is to escape with my loved one/s to a little house in the middle of nowhere. get loads of food and drink in, get the fire lit and ignore the rest of the world. i rarely buy people presents and don't expect to receive any either.
i'm a right miserable kunt
