Christmas

When I wish someone a 'happy christmas' I do actually mean it, even if I don't know them from Adam, what could possibly be wrong with that?

 

Nothing wrong at all.

 

However, what about the guy in the club who tries to stare you out any time you walk in? Never says a word to you all year. Then, Christmas Eve dinner time session, he wants to put his arm around your shoulder and say something like 'How are yer mate? 'Av a beer wiv me'.

 

'Oh yes please you fine fellow'

 

 

NOT.

I'd see it the other way around tbh ES, I would welcome his beer and give hime one 'in the wood' (a phrase you don't here nearly enough nowadays imo) and wonder why he is different the rest of the year, that is what puzzles me, why are people unhappy at other times there must be a reason.

 

Maybe he's lonely?

 

having said that there are one or two people who I have crossed in my time that I would not **** on if they were on fire, well maybe I would **** on them but share a beer? Nah.

 

I know a chap whos wife passed away between Christmas and New Year, he absolutely hates it, says he even hates hearing the word "Christmas". I can understand this. Another chap I know lost his wife just before Christmas and his attitude is the complete oppposite, he visits and is by welcomed family, he talks fondly of how he loved her but she has not left him as he has feels lucky to have shared so many Christmases with her before she went, he says that she is still alive in his heart. I understand him too.

 

I enjoy it when it finally arrives properly and feel that the niceness goes once people start getting back to the humdrum and rush-rush of 'normal' life.

 

Having said that I would hate to be lonley at Christmas.

Had a cuppa, didnt help.

 

No idea why, considering Beechy Head for NYE.

 

MB, im on my way, if its meant to be, i'll find you

 

Nah, if you can make it to Beachy Head you can max out your credit card and head down to Bangkok for NYE. That will sort you out until you have to pay the bill.

 

Well, it will sort me out anyway feck it I'm on holiday

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!

Bore off, never have I had to read such middle class guardiola poo. Kenneth barlow is ten times the man you will ever be becky.

Exactly. Where were they that Monday night in September when there were only 4 of us in the pub? Where were they then, huh? HUH?!

 

I do agree to an extent. But not everyone can get to the pub every night for one reason or another (Family commitments. Money issues. Not wanting to die of liver disease etc). All poor excuses I admit, but not everyone views a p*ss up with such excitement and anticipation as you and I. Coming out of the wood work for the big one (christmas day) is poor though.

 

I'd like to see a system introduced that meant people arent allowed into pubs over christmas unless they have proof of getting smashed there a few times in the last month.

Yes, I appreciate that people aren't likely to attend the pub 6 nights a week all year round, but it would be nice if they popped in once or twice a year rather than just on Christmas Day (and also there are the Christmas Eve drinkers).

 

Even worse is that they act like locals, despite the fact they only drink in the pub once a year. They should be barred.

Christmas Day is about the only day of the year that I don't go to the pub
