I'm Looking Forward to Christmas because...

[srixon 1]

2 weeks off work, and the daylight starts to stretch out again.

Because you can drink like Oliver Reed and it’s acceptable

I love Xmas. It's the one time of year strangers will be kind and pleasant to each other.

Shortbread biscuits after every meal including breakfast.
Seeing the boy wonder's face when he sees that Santa's been.
Spending time with my nephews.
Everyone just seeming to be in a better mood.

I feel sorry for the shop staff who have to put up with jingle bells for 2 months solid before Christmas. By the time it comes round, I'll bet they're sick of it

I worked at Tesco through my exams. One CD on repeat all they way through the season for three years every year.

The Waitresses - Christmas wrapping wants banning. I think that Previously working in retail And that song contributed towards my hatred of Christmas.

I’ve just watched the Gavin & Stacey Christmas special- I’m now officially in the mood for a cracking Christmas 🎄

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Noddy of course, not me 👍

Seeing my kids excited for Santa's visit, watching others open the presents I've bought them but moat important of all and what makes me happy is the time with loved ones, playing board games and having a laugh with each other.

I was looking forward to Christmas. As I worked it all last year (NHS) and it will be our 2nd Christmas in our new house. This year I’m off from the 24th to the 30th December. However I’ve got to have a Septoplasty op on my nose on the 19th.

Two weeks off work?

I'm looking forward to Xmas
Just not looking forward to the next 5 weeks when Xmas will be rammed down my throat from every angle.
It's the worst time of the year followed, from about the 21st, by the best time of the year.
I don't like hype.

I love doing Christmas lights!

Only 6 working days in Dec 👌

 

[Slab]

Christmas would barely make the top 5 'celebrated days' round here

That's what I like about Christmas

This Christmas I might get the chance to go to family other than my children and have all the cooking done by someone else.

Other than that I love Boxing Day when the only thing to cook is 'new' roasties and Yorkshire puds.

 

[user2010]

....of the massive u bend straightener i'll be doing on Boxing day.

Just used up remaining annual leave by booking between Christmas and New Year off. So finish on 20th December - back to work 2nd Jan.

And our lad is joining us on Christmas Eve - by himself - his 'trouble' girlfriend not coming down from Sheff.

...Santa will be able to give me the Bushnell Tour v4 zapper that I've already popped into his sack - but I have to wait until Christmas Day before I get it and can use it.

Well...I've done without such a thing for 45yrs and so I can wait for another three weeks...
