Jovi Runner Nov 2016 9:22pm, 24 Nov 2016 4,592 posts	Quote Pin Jovi Runner I hate the consurmeriatic element of Christmas & the enforced bonhomie. I really hate being forced to attend works Christmas dose & spend time with people I have no desire to spend any social time with. However, anyone who says they'd rather work than be off for Christmas either lacks imagination or is very sad. Who'd rather work than have time off?
Fragile Do Not Bend Nov 2016 10:08pm, 24 Nov 2016 1,225 posts	Quote Pin Fragile Do Not Bend I would like Christmas more if it wasn't for Christmas presents. I struggle to think of anything to ask for, and so do my relatives. Yet when I suggest that we don't buy each other presents my folks insist that it's nice to have something to open on Christmas Day. I really really hate present shopping and if it was up to me, I'd just get gifts for my little niece & nephew and nobody else.
McGoohan Nov 2016 10:30pm, 24 Nov 2016 26,874 posts	Quote Pin McGoohan I quite like working the bit between Christmas and New Year because a) there's no-one else much in the office b) I can get some actual work done c) the weather's usually crap anyway
CharlieP Nov 2016 9:04am, 25 Nov 2016 537 posts	Quote Pin CharlieP I'm being made redundant on the Friday before Christmas, so intend to enjoy the not-having-to-go-back-to-work feeling to the max. I'm now trying to figure out the "not before 12th Night" bit...

It's 2016 FFS, if you don't want to see a programme with things in it, DON'T WATCH THE TV.
