Are you an xmas type person


Quote by turbo View Post
This year, my wife asked the neighbors' grand-daughters if they would rather have presents or an afternoon with her. They both wanted the afternoon with her. Not a bad choice, since they will both get to go to lunch and a movie, and my wife will make it fun for them.
Lunch and a movie sounds like rather a nice present!

In response to the original question, Ho, Ho, Ho ... Yes, I am, right down to the singing (well, making a noise anyway) in the congregation whilst my children contribute a rather better sound to the Choir. Tree up, Lights On, Presents Wrapped and Mince Pie / Sherry left out for Santa - there's nothing like a proper bit of Christmas Spirit!

I used to get into all of the decorations, but after the year that my daughter's dog, the JAWS OF DEATH ate my entire collection of ornaments I had been collecting for over 20 years, I just stopped.
Dear me... :( . Haha, but that happens. Just the other day our dog (basset/beagle) found a paper-mache bird ornament that my sister made when she was young. Bit the things tail off....left the deceased body on the living room floor......just laying there.......... ;)



Personally I've been getting more anti-christmas over the years. It's primarily a family thing though. Things just seem really stiff. People are upset by not having things play out their way (tradition-wise, not gift-wise), and past ordeals always end up surfacing to some extent. I don't really remember the occasion that well anymore later on since it's something that I repress. As much as I struggle in univ, I am always anxious to return after two weeks break.

I don't celebrate it, and its mere presence annoys me.
I'm a semi-militant Atheist. There are a few people who still insist upon giving me presents, and I therefore feel obliged to reciprocate. It would be simpler if they'd just stop doing that.

Long answer:
There are little things I like, that could really happen on any other day of the year and it would be all the same to me. Really dislike the repetitive music and the fervor that goes on.

Short answer: No
