I don't believe it.

When i go back to the states soon for Christmas, and possibly forever. I will have to endure the non event that the Americans make of it.
No Boxing day, straight back to work, no lazing about bloated watching the Great Escape or the Queens Speech!
I imagine they all send Bah Humbug cards to each other?
How will i survive that, i will make it my life long Quest to convert the savages to civilised behaviour.
Tell me what would you miss about christmas if it was cancelled?

watching my grandson open his prezzies and the family argument about 2pm over whether we watch the queens speach, it used to be on after TOTchristmas pops.

[pastafreak]

It is a trade-off...you get Thanksgiving Day and a long weekend with it......so-shusshh!!

[topogigo]

You know Dot, it has always filled me with dread in the past cos i like to work, but now i am getting concerned about missing it.

[dot.hawkes]

I finish work at 1pm Christmas Eve and start back at 12pm Boxing Day, so I know how you feel i guess.

I'd miss having an excuse to be able to have a drink at 10am ("It's ok it's Christmas!!")

Also lazing about for a few days, pigging out on food that we don't usually have, the presents, decorations collecting dust, twinkling lights in the corner of the room, think thats about it.....

[topogigo]

Apparently, we consume about 6000 calories on Christmas day. The Americans do that every day, so no fun there for them!

Hey, Tops. Just head north and nip over the border: you can have a piece of our Boxing-Day:)

[legend.isgod]

[888sally888]

I wouldnt miss anything about Christmas whatsoever!

[stewey]

I agree with you, 888: what a waste of time, money, and phoney emotions!

[ELVIS68]

Have to agree with dot..Christmas TOTPs was a must

[terambulan]

Why is it......that me, the irreligious s0d, I am turning into misses xmas cards with nativity scenes? I didn't find any last year but will search again this year.

[terambulan]

am waitin' noknow?

I think its my rebellious nature.

[terambulan]

no weird suspect uncles......hurry up, this isn't my thread

[ELVIS68]

tera..apart from the fluffy cat card that every xmas card pack has I agree that the nativity scenes are getting rarer each year
