                          ·
                          • When we do get together I cherish each moment. It's difficult missing my children who have passed. I decorate for my grandchildren. If not for them, we would be sitting in our home with nothing out. Be blessed with what you have now.

                                  • I absolutely loved Christmas when the children were young, now that I am a lot older it's lost it's appeal. Not even going to put up the Christmas tree this year for the first time.

                                  • I think it is exciting while you have young children and also young grandkids but as they get older and the way society has changed kids just say I want and not cheap things we are talking the latest in technology. The spirit of Christmas has gone it's boils down to how many dollars one spends . We also tell our kids not to speak to strangers but what do we do take them and put them on a strangers lap . Grew up with snow at Xmas building a snowman and having snow ball fights with siblings a real Xmas tree and a cooked turkey and a roaring fire to keep us warm here it is different as the heat is stiffling as you a traditional Xmas dinner I used to do it every year now I passed it on to my daughter but you can't always have all the family together. Merry Christmas everyone !!!!

                                    • It's easy to become cynical as an adult. Yeah, I agree! Xmas is best when your a mere child! Many parents tho do get stressed before and after Xmas. It's not as easy for them.

                                  • No, it is just another day. Actual date for Christmas for those who think of it the way it was intended should be October but it was moved to December for religious recruitment purposes (to convert both pagans and people of other faiths into Christianity). Orthodox Christmas is in January (except for the Greeks who do it with the Catholics in December. Why should you get excited when people tend to behave even more horribly and more entitled in this period? How can you get excited if you are working in this period or you live in a town that will get invaded by drop in holiday makers (which means lots of loud and obnoxious parties)?

                                    • Well it might have changed but it suits many people as it's near the end of the year, so for most people it's very appropriate. School holidays and family time off. Those pagans were pretty smart. This is about western culture and not others . Get with the times! Bahumbug to you!

                                  • Not me. I find it expensive, I have to cook (usually but I said no this year) and pay for the food etc. Money is too tight this year for me to buy presents, put on a meal etc. I find it all just over blown these days. I cannot stand the Xmas songs in the shopping centres and it is nothing like it used to be when I was young and when I also had little children. The magic has been taken out of Xmas with all the big business cash grabs.
