Christmas is a coming

[Offside]

Not a fan of Christmas now the kids are older. Just a time for materialism, unnecessary over-indulgance, sentimentalism and superstitious nonsense.

fuck me that's the first of your posts that  I have ever agreed with.

Think I’m done with Christmas, in it’s current form.

This isn’t meant to be a big “look at me” post but it occurred to me this morning that I just don’t give a fuck anymore. I barely buy for me these days, yet alone for anyone else. This morning I was discussing what to do with Gary Lineker and Maniche today and she said “isn’t there any shopping on LoveHoney you want to do?” and I just said “nah, not fussed anymore”. I don’t even bother wanking to it anymore.

Part of this is down to personal circumstances - two young co-presenters mean finding the time to buy anything is limited but mainly it’s down to:

Shops being moved to soulless, empty Intu’s;
The soul crushing grind of life up the Mezza when you’re not elite;
“Pope John Gregory” and the small band of cardinal cunts trying to take the calendar for themselves;
Friday kick offs;
It’ll be Saturday next year to get us all inside again but you watch back to fucking Sunday in 2022;
Video Assisted Reindeer;
The “Tier 1” and the media’s constant fawning over them;
The obsession with spending money over actually coaching and developing elves;
The depressing likelihood that none of the above is ever going to change;

Does anyone else feel completely disillusioned with the state of the festive period now? Or is it just me?

Arf!

If the situation is as it is now Christmas will be weird. Usually have christmas dinner at the in-laws, having had a pint or two with my father in law and brother in law beforehand. Then up to my Auntys with all of my side of the family for the evening. As it stands there will be none of that.

Hence my opening post that if we are aren’t allowed to see family at Christmas, I reckon most people will say “fuck that” and spend Christmas with their family as per usual

Bigamy at Christmas
What am I to do?
Spend it with the family?
I can’t, I have two.

There was more mileage in Tony Ferrino.

Snap. Just a week of eating loads of chocolate and fancy biscuits then regretting it later. Me and the Financial Controller don’t even bother with prezzies, just buy what we want when we want it during the year. 
As for being ‘a time of goodwill to all men’ shouldn’t that be all year round?

I bet the financial controller expects crap on Valentine’s Day

She doesn’t expect anything, we’re not 16 years old.

We never do Valentines.....another over-commercialised load of toss in my humble opinion.
We don't celebrate wedding anniversaries, although we will probably do something for our 25th in a couple of years time; all things being good with Mrs Sol.

Mrs Sol, in fine health, may just want to trade you in.
