Must Be Xmas

[Scooby]

Its very quiet on here i guess everyones getting ready for the xmas rush...

[Steve]

Im trying to avoid it! Enjoyed it when the kids were young but find most of it a bind these days. Most folks I know feel the same now, very very commercial I think

[Scooby]

Sadly i agree its to commercial now kind of lost its direction as to what this day represents.. already had the wish list from my grandkids

[Steve]

I think my issue is that it starts too early every year (advertisers trying harder and harder to get our money first). Ive stopped watching mainstream telly for various reasons but even streaming stuff is crammed with Xmas ads from October onwards, its just too much for me and I get jaded before its even here. If it all started around mid Dec and was dead and buried after Boxing day I would love it (I think) Im agnostic so it all has no religeous meaning to me at all.

I love Christmas, having Grandchildren and Great grandchildren is what makes it for me, the noise the chaos the decorations and even some of the music, John Smith helps too though.

[Steve]

Thats amazing Derek and I would definately love that. My kids are all over the World now and no grandkids yet but sure it will come at some point. Christmases will be mainly in Australia then so not the same in the Summer somehow
