"It said 'photo' and I was in two minds, but I looked at the description and the fact it was in the right category made me think it was genuine."

Yeah, he's a moron.
 
For me, Christmas is just like any other day. I can give/receive presents, as well as see my family, on many occasions throughout the year. I also have roast dinners every Sunday, so it isn't a rare meal. If you're Christian or 10 I can understand why you'd enjoy it. The songs are pretty bad, too.

Would never guess you're 18. My family has been through a lot of hard times over the last few years and I appreciate every opportunity I can get to see everyone together and spend time together. A few years ago I was like you, I liked to say Christmas meant nothing to me because it's any other day and we're not religious blah blah so I understand where you're coming from. I guess it's different now that I'm not at home nearly as often.

Same Xmas isn't about presents or the songs etc. It's about being with people you love. You only get a certain part of your life to be with people before before they are gone. Enjoy it while you can.
 
Strange, I always thought Nottingham was free of chav morons, at least compared to the rest of the triangle of doom that is Leicester, Nottingham and Derby. Guess I was wrong...
 
Love Christmas. It's the only day of the year you can start drinking at breakfast and keep going all day without it being considered weird. My family has a pretty great Christmas routine. The only annoying part is when people want to hear what the Queen has to say. She never has anything interesting to say ever.

I also celebrate Christmas on a different day with my Dad and his family in Surrey so I do it all twice. Expensive but worth it.

Ah yeah, being allowed to go to the pub with my uncles was a definite rite of passage for me. And my family don't give a toss about the Queen, so we skip that bit too. Happy days.

Same the Queens speech is boring ****. It's all about Christmas TOTP's!
 
I've enjoyed Christmas time a lot more since I've started going to Uni. Where I don't get to go home often, and I'm always busy while I'm at Uni, it's like the one period of time where I can just relax with family and socialise for hours.

I remember being 17/18 and having Christmas Dinner at about 2pm with parents and then would bike it to the girlfriends for Christmas Dinner about 7:30pm.... I'd then roll home!

I get to celebrate it 3 times this year: on the 25th, 26th and 28th. :emoticon-0173-middl
 
I used to have to celebrate twice in one day, with both sides of my family. It was a pain in the arse, it's much easier now we only bother with one.
 
People seem to be suggesting that Nelson Mandela has died... there's loads of South African/Africans tweeting/posting RIP Nelson Mandela.

Nothing official over here yet.
