    Re: Christmas...

    Very true, been thinking that for a while. Hate seeing the scutty little brats in the shops screaming and shouting for every new present they want. You just can't escape it! On a plus note though, it will be good to see my nephews and nieces enjoying chrimbo because for them its still got its sparkle (and they ain't spoilt).

    The thing I really hate is Fenwick's window, its awful and annoying!

    christmas lost it's charm a while ago... but i still get enjoyment out of it... i like the ideals behind christmas, it's nice and something as simple as getting some snow tends to please me. :) and other than that i look forward to seein my brother's kid on christmas day gettin his stuff, for me thats what it all is... a spirit and something for the kids. so yeah, thinking that way i do enjoy it :)

    The aliens thing was just wierd last year, aswell as being very sinister... if I was a kid looking at it I would have bricked me pull-ups!

    I still can't stand it this year tho... the puppets eyes are sooooo BIG - well scary. And the music, ugh!

    Anyone call me scrooge and they get a lump of coal for chrimbo!:D

    Shit!! I forgot to check out Fenwicks window!!! :cry: And I was in town las nite aswell. DOH! :dunce: I take it its puppets or something??

    I also dont feel very christmassy. Things have changed since I was little. I get more spent on me now tbh. Obviously the lack of excitment and surprise has gone so christmas day isnt really any different to any other sunday for me, except my mam wears a party hat! :D And I also get the Promise of loads a cash!!! Cha Ching!!! :D :D
