who doesn't really care about xmas and doesn't look forward to it? To me it will be another weekend ?

Me me! Uzzi :-D

back later, it's Corrie time

No your not alone Uzzi, can't stand crimbo, be glad when it's all over, it's far to over comersionalised now days.

Not really liking Christmas. We are alone as usual and the day is the same as any other. Cant get to a church service either. I put up the cards and give a few presents, but that is all.

lol Island

McB I am not sure if it's just the commercialisation (sp) that I object to although that does rate highly. or my lack of care but like you I will be glad when it's over.

Jean I do send a few cards out ..wow 21 this year, I haven't done presents, I have no decs up either ..but I do care as I remembered my friend who is now single so she will come to me on boxing day and we will giggle and remember her OH and hopefully next year xmas won't be so hard

"""I'm a bah humbug when it comes to Christmas these days.
I just can't be bothered with it now,I haven't put up a tree or decorations, again this year,& I only buy Christmas presents for the 3 young grandchildren,aged 3yrs (2 of them) & a new baby of 8 weeks.
Even my birhday on the 25th it doesn't "excite" me any more, lol.

Joan / Amokavid.""

Wow Joan welcome to the bah humbug club

Roll on Spring, I say - get my gardening gloves back on :-D

Joan/Amokavid,

Please may I join your "bah humbug club".
My birthday is also on Christmas Day and I have had so many "non events" that I would rather spend the day in bed.

As little one won't be here there are no decorations up. We will celebrate on Boxing day at daughter's house. OH is working anyway (as usual). Will love seeing grandson on Boxing Day but I am not bothered about Xmas at all really.

Bah Humbug here too and a raspberry to our local T***o cos we spent as little as possible :-D

I just dont do Christmas , I send one card a year to my mother, the criteria it must not be in a red envelope !
The family are in Peru, chicago and the Med. so no presents there then !
So it will be a dressing gown day, a good book. couple of boiled eggs with soldiers and some rubbish TV !! heaven !

Gawd.....I just want to say ...*** MERRY CHRISTMAS *** to all the Humbugs !!

Only send a Xmas card and present to my Mum

Do not send Xmas cards to the neighbours as they get New Year ones.

No decorations up. Do have Xmas pud and cream.

Just treat it like another day. Walk the dog and the time is my own.

How about the the Jewish Festival of Light instead? :-)

And don't worry about food shopping; a lot of supermarkets will only be closed on Christmas Day :-)

I shall enjoy Christmas Day, hopefully, just the two of us, united free church service in OH's church, a nice specially festive lunch followed by opening our presents - if I feel well enough.

Wend, I'm with you. can't wait to get the gardening gloves back on!
I don't do Christmas, like most of you I find it far too commercial these days and I have too many sad memories at this time of year.
Best Wishes,
