Christmas, what's that about then.

Dont believe in it and dont bother with any of it.  Best thing it does bring is a change in TV.  :-/

I like Crimbo day and boxing day, but the month of December...AAGH !!!
You could get all your crimbo shopping done in June and you'll still end up sitting in crimbo traffic jams.>:( 

Pop out to buy a loaf of bread anytime after the 1st of December and you're out for six hours easy.
You'll end up in a 50 foot long queue of crazed, panic buying shoppers. Trolleys loaded with enough food to see them through 'til the end of March, and that's the queue for the '10 items or less' checkout :-?,  and they're still topping up the trolley with stuff brought back by their partner, kids, specially trained supermarket retriever dogs. 
 
I feel like telling them "Look you simpletons, the shops are closed for two days max !  TWO DAYS !!! Got that ?"  Gullable, sheep like muppets.

Oh my goodness...try not to panic, but as of tomorrow, there are only 81 shopping days left 'til christmas !!!  That's over two and a half months. Just short of a quarter of a year.

Ok, I think it's time for my medication.  :D

Seems harsh to me to pull all 3 then :(  When I was single I was fine working at Christmas but never worked New Year, now I would love to have to work from 2pm ish on Christmas Day, save me having to go the the hypocritical swmbo's family get together.   :( :(  Miss Vamps likes to go, otherwise I would not..... :-X

Actually that has got me thinking must talk to our on Call Emergency team....... :D :D :D

Thought the usual deal was that if you worked xmas you got the New Year shirt or vice versa.   Normally familys with young children tried to opt for xmas and the others got the new year. :-/
