I've got a son under the age of 10 so there's no way I was going to be allowed to forget about Christmas!

Not started yet, probably won't. Not panicking either - 8 days from now it's all over, and nobody dies (that's Easter )

I'm fine for a few more days yet!

I was wondering why there were coloured lights in people's windows!

Oh Sh1t,

 8 days!!

 I'd better get shopping and sending cards!!

 Sooner it's over the better.

 Not having a family, (as such), any more, it's another day in the week. I will cook myself something nice, sirloin steak, gammon, roast spuds and veggies. I eat turkey at least once a week, so want something different for a change.

 Merry crimbo and happy new year to all.

Oh, is that why my neighbour's house is lit up like Blackpool seafront? I thought he was just being weirdly exhibitionist

As this seems to be the seasonal greetings thread I'll add my tuppence-worth.  I wish everyone on OM a very pleasant and contented Christmas. Enjoy yourselves!

This thread has just reduced me to needing a glass of malt

How many days of repeats - not just on TV, but what I have just said, cos the Mother out-law is deaf

The need to partake in the last minure battle for food, and then the thinking "why did I eat and drink so much". 

Role on New Years Eve - and my next trip away.

Upside - no work for 10 days

Downside - all the aforementioned tv repeats and 2 weeks of being "nice" to people who, in normal circumstances, you would cheerfully throttle

Be glad when it's all over - However, Merry Christmas all
