1) I love my family but they're a pain in the arris 2) I start drinking the red wine around 8am with the excuse I'm checking it's okay, but really it's because everyone's annoying me 3) Although I say it's the reason I'm not really seeing people I only see once a year when I go down the pub at midday, it's just to get away for half an hour.

I used to be a retail manager of a large store and they made us and staff come in at 1201am boxing d day morning. Utterly took the pish and if it wasn't so bloody engrained into our culture I feel boxing day trading should be banned.
Total c units. People having their Christmas stolen by having to be at work at some stupid time.

Re No. 2 I think the consumer has to take some of the blame too.
On boxing day this year my GF & my sister are getting up at 4:30 to go to the bloody Next sale.
I agree 100%. I always say I will refuse to go in shops after 5pm Christmas Eve and on Boxing Day. Inevitably my mum will text me about 9pm saying can you quickly go to Tesco on Nacton Road and get some xxxxxxxxxxxxx' and i'll go in feeling like a right c unit. We could have done without whatever it is and if not, there are loads of non Christian owned newsagents open to get a carton of orange juice or whatever it is.
Boxing Day is slowly becoming like Black Friday after Thanksgiving. I bloody hate it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think boxing day sales predates black Friday in the uk; has it not been our largest sales day for many years? Still crap either way

Has it? I always thought the shops were closed Boxing Day. Maybe when I was younger it was just more family focused and I didn't notice?

Interesting.
I don't think the supers opened but high streets did and D F bloody S did for sure. I think it was gift voucher day or some such. I'm very tired; I might have made it all up in my head
1. I Love Christmas and go a bit OTT on mucking about, present, eating and drinking, but to me its literally 4 days Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and day after (our go to Panto day), I dont like any of the build up and hate it when they play Christmas Songs on New Years Eve.
2. I love all the food except Mince Pies, Christmas Pud and Sage Stuffing
3. Those 4 Christmas days are the only highlight of Winter, dislike that entire season.
4. We always eat chocolate in bed while unwrapping presents, regardless what time we have been awoken.
5. I actually enjoy cooking the Christmas Dinner. This year we have decided not to bother with a starter as it always ruins the main course as everyone is already full, but instead add an enormous cheeseboard after dessert.

Christmas songs after Christmas and decorations still being up in January really depress me. I don't care about this twelve days of Christmas nonsense. I do consider Christmas Eve - New Year's Eve one festive block but Christmas songs are for Christmas, not new year.
I also hate family events on New Year's Day. It's the new year, the festivities are over, it just feels forced and depressing.
I usually drive on Christmas Day.... me or the wife has to, and I choose to do so as no-one else we spend the day with (Parents in-law, my Mum, the kids) will have more than a couple of glasses of wine, so there's no point in drinking on my own.
I hate that Christmas dinner usually ends up being served at 2.30 / 3pm. I'm usually starving by then. And am then ready for the evening cold meats and cheese, but no-one else can be bothered.
1. I prefer Ipswich's bauble tree to the real one.
2. I love people's christmas lights, even the over the top ones for which there is a general obligation to say something like "oh, how tacky".
3. I think Chris De Burgh's 'A spaceman came travelling' is great.
Christmas really is the most wonderful time of the year, but totally agree with all those complaining about the early start and the commercialism of it all now. First Monday after November the 11th should be the point at which anyone, and especially the shops should be allowed any christmas nonsense.
1) I like everything about Christmas apart from the music...
2) ...APART FROM any number one from the Spice Girls, all bangers.
3) On the topic of music, I listen to this every Xmas day as tradition:
4) My family nicknamed me "Callis the Christmas C*nt" a few years ago based on my continual form for at least 5-6 years to get very drunk on Xmas Eve and be a total killjoy all morning. I've since calmed down a bit though as joking aside I think it did annoy my family a fair bit.
5) I once went to a work Xmas do in Norwich. Last thing I remember was saying "I really should start thinking about getting a train home" around 8pm. Next thing I woke up on the train platform at Chelmsford at 11pm with no memory of leaving the pub. I lived in Stowmarket at the time.

Admitting you have a problem is the first step towards a cure.
Now, get down to the supermarket and buy some babybels.
That truly is the gateway cheese. I always wished they would make a grapefruit sized babybel - but I'm sure that would have made the obesity epidemic much worse. Got knows I'd be 40stone

So that's like the first step of the 4 step cheese rehabilitation programme then?
Even when you feel down always remember its just a game.

1 - I spend too much on my kids
2 - I don't like Turkey. I prefer a Pheasant on Xmas day.
3 - I like to start on the booze around 10ish.
Apart from the peasants bit, agree entirely.
I'm having Xmas with my teetotal in laws and extended family. So if I can get a confession in now, it'll be that I'll be smuggling in a hip flask of something!
2) I've never received a better gift than Screwball Scramble
3) Going to my wife's family's place this year. I won't be able to be pished all day and I'm dreading it. Plus, there won't be any decent grub on offer.

Mate I get you... Americans blow their culinary load on thanksgiving and Christmas dinner always is atrocious. Ham? Meatballs in BBC sauce? Edge that I want my eggs Benedict; beef rib and trimmings and cheese board
