I can not fathom the expense and the logistics of doing that.

But then, I work in retail and hate the whole Xmas thing, Grumpy customers, screaming kids and way to many hours.

Just call me the Grinch!  ;D

I'm spending my Xmas in a muslim country, (by choice this time) the best way to avoid the whole thing!

I'm not in the "Bah Humbug" group but I don't see why If you can't be happy, generous and loving with your friends and family during the rest of the year, why you should behave differently "because it's christmas".
I'm more of a "happy holiday season" type, so "happy holidays" (if you've got 'em ) to you all.

Ohh, yes, one of my wife's patients was complaining that her son and grand kids weren't coming for xmas dinner because they were going to do charity work feeding the homeless, selfish b*stards, where's the xmas spirit in that?

Now don't get me wrong christmas is a great concept, but like all those great concepts, democracy, communism, religion, speed cameras, they get hijacked by people with agendas of their own, but if you enjoy it and get something out of it then good on you all.

Well said Bazz.

I couldn't really care less about the 'idea' of Christmas, but it is really for kids and it's a good reason to be with family & friends. Eat, drink and make an azz of yourself. That's my kind of Christmas.  [beer]

Just avoid all the crap, crowds at shopping centres and just have fun. It's not rocket science.  ;)

As I said, avoid people with agendas of their own. Make it your own, have a few days off & do what you want to do & be with whoever you want to be with.

3000kms away from any family and most friends.  And working again for the seventh year out of eight.  No Xmas for me again this year.

Hope the rest of you enjoy it though.  Salud [beer]

And yes I hate the commercialisation of it all. Give my Xmas pud to someone who needs it.

My two youngest loved the clip. They're already at me to take them to have a look at the houses that are lit up.

I think Christmas is great as it's a time in the year when I finally get a chance to stop for a bit, take a few days off, spend time wiht the family and watch the cricket, I usually have a few beers as well. [beer]

I also like it when I get a few presents, usually the new bike bling that I've purchased myself or gloves etc. Any excuse for me to get something I won't ordinarily buy. Bring it on I say.

I'd lov to get onto that action as well. My insurance assessor just called me today to say that they've written off my girl. R.I.P I'm now holding out for the "agreed value"
