miserableoldgit Posted 18 December, 2009 Share Posted 18 December, 2009 (edited) Christmas is what you make it. If you want to fall in with all of the stereotypical commercialisation, thats up to you. If you want to find other more satisfying traditional ways of celebrating the season, it can be done.

Arizona Posted 18 December, 2009 Share Posted 18 December, 2009 I like some elements. F**king good food for a start, sitting infront of the fire watching a cheesy X-mas movie, exchanging gifts. The commercial aspects which start in September are pretty annoying though, as is the X-Factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of all the frills, well it's for kids isn't it, and who would begrudge them some happy material based memories? Me. I believe that perpetuating the santa claus myth only serves to create a sense of materialism in kids which is not something that the human race should be proud of. Me and some friends have decided that next year we are going to boycott 'Christmas' and instead celebrate the old Pagan winter solstice festival of Yule on the 21st december. It means we can eat and drink loads but won't be obliged to spend stupid amounts of money on other people buying pointless crap they won't ever use. Bah Humbug!

Let's.. It is broadly accepted that Jesus Christ (our saviour) was born 4 years BC (that's Before Christ I think!), so who are we to say it was on the 25th December? There are a number of dates that we should consider as his actual birth day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a number of dates that we should consider as his actual birth day. Indeed. Some scholars believe his birthday is in april, whereas others say september. Nearly all are agreed that it definitely wasn't december 25th. It's just that the christian church didn't like the idea of the world's favourite festival being a pagan one so they hijacked it for themselves.

St Landrew Posted 19 December, 2009 Share Posted 19 December, 2009 Shut up. This has nothing to do with cool. There are some people who are normally quite positive, and this time of the year usually finds them down in the dumps. But there is often a reason for it.

Once we get past Jan 1st, everyone will shake off the enforced merriment and get down to being bloody miserable again. As it happens, I always start to cheer up about December 21-22.

Barney Trubble Posted 19 December, 2009 Share Posted 19 December, 2009 I like that I don't have to go to work for a fortnight, can do some work on the house, get ****ed a lot more.....loads really. I agree, it's a lot of falseness and people who wouldn't normally bother with you suddenly want to wish you a merry christmas and all that. I'm pretty sure it would have been New Years day yesterday, or maybe today, if we were really being traditionalists anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknrollman no2 Posted 19 December, 2009 Share Posted 19 December, 2009 Did anyone see that chap on tv a few years ago who celebrates Christmas every day?Apparantly he has decorations up all year round,eats turkey every day for dinner,unwraps a present he has bought himself and watches recordings of the queens speech.

St Landrew Posted 20 December, 2009 Share Posted 20 December, 2009 It takes a lot for me not to like Christmas. But I always have one thought for those that can't afford it, or have nobody with which to enjoy it. It's a hanger-on from reading A Christmas Carol almost every year. A habit which my old dad started me on, as he read it every year before me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 20 December, 2009 Share Posted 20 December, 2009 Ah Christmas. The local Malls are full of decorations, Santa in his grotto. People wearing their Santa hats to collect their Turkeys, off to Church for Midnight Carol Service. Then a quick trip back to blighty and get arrested for wishing someone a Merry Christmas with a card having a St George's flag on it and being shot by Greenpeace for having a non-carbon friendly Christmas Tree. Christmas away from home means so much more. It always hits you the hardest when you're there slapping the factor 15 on while ogling the chicks in bikinis while sipping the early morning Sherry on the beach while the Maid starts the roast veggies.
