Gav 1,708 Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 (edited) With all the religious, gothic pagan and folklore aspect of it, what's your interpretation on Christmas? Any of us with kids are forced into it. The ads, the kids expectations etc etc. It can be a great family get together, which I agree with, peace and good will. Kids getting lots of plastic crap that won't fit in with a game station, ultimately more Chinese carp for landflll. What does it mean for you, good and bad points only, no fence sitters please. We used to be able to do polls on this, where did that go? Edited December 21, 2019 by Gav Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It should be renamed Commercialmas. With people fighting over trinkets. People going into debt for crap. People dying on the roads and the suicide rate spiking what else is there to interpret? Humbug? 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jetro 5,349 Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 It's great if you have young children, to share in the excitement with. Out from that it's nothing really special, just a bit extra to eat and drink. Atb j 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jonjon79 13,358 Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 It's a nice time of year - charity and goodwill seems to be highlighted more than usual, some of us get time off work, there's nice food and drink, we see extended family more and, I like giving out nicely wrapped gifts - the young 'uns in the family love it. Sure, it gets more commercialised every year but, I like it - long may it continue That said, I still prefer the long warm days in the summer. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
