Help ya self to tea Hazel ;O)

Nice cup of tea.

Do anyone else want one.

I dont do Christmas either

As long as everyone leaves me alone on the 25th and 26th i will be happy

Hazelx

oh i'll be doing all the scoffing and stuff Hazel - just not the 'commercial' bit - can't afford it lol

same here. I will put small tree up for grand kids.

I like it by myself.

Daugthers going to Scotland with grand daugther, son will be at his dads with grand son.

Then on the 28th we will all go to daugthers for the day, I can cope with it afterwards but not on the 2 days. Just to many bad things that went on when i was growning up at that time.

Will be going over to my daugthers later as she want me to look after little one while she goes to bingo as its free every thrus until christmas.

Oh i know what you mean Hazel - i've spent too many christmas' feeling bl**dy miserable, unwanted and unloved - normally nursing a battered heart lol

I've decided rather than have folk spend their money on things i don't really need or want, and vice versa, not to do it - it's all such a big disappointment when you're an adult anyway lol

I'm taking my neice on a trip to Paris in the new year and my Mum to see Julie Andrews in May, so i feel my money is better spent on those things :O)

I was fed up with doing what everyone else wanted.

So that when i said i dont want anyone around i was fed up with saying i am enjoying myself when all i wanted to do was hide away.

Befor mum passed last year, mum my sister and me use to have the 25th to ourselves then boxing day my sister use to come over pick me up then went to mum for few days, as we all felt the same about it all.

A least you are doing what you want to thats the mian thing.

Lucky for me my kids understand that i cant afford alot nor can they. so we just give something little each to open.

I will have my duck stew i make in the slow cooker. I will be happy with that.

Hazelx

Marches in Crashing Symbals,....lol

I don't do Christmas either, except on the day my son comes to see me, but that's never Christmas Day. they always spend it with DILs grandmother, since she's been widowed, which is fine by me. I can't even afford to spoilt the grandkids this year, and I just know it's going to be held against me that I won' t be spending on my neices. I just can't do it. :-(

Especially as any money I had for them has just been spent on a new hoover (sorry),

I just hate the whole commercial pressurising we all have to put up with every year, when we can ill-afford it. If we celebrated Christmas for what it really is, and not a every-man-for-himself-hang-the-expense-let's-get-stupid-drunk debacle it is these days.

The whole thing just depresses me lol

hahahaha, i been busy tidying round and sorting out lol, and playing with me new ginnys there so cute lol xxx

Stray - i've seen pics of em - they look really sweet :O) x

Its only people that have turned it to what it is now....by Nov they have decorations up,spend ££££££on that must have,,.they need ,,,,I want children ............decs and trees are up in November so all the magic and excitement has gone,as by christmas day ,the tree and decorations has become part of the furniture,,,,,,,unnoticed after a month of being there.

it was a one time special thing when you got a once a year treat,

by christmas day lunchtime now its all over.

yea there me babies,

now im boredddddddddddd

yea there me babies,

now im boredddddddddddd

Yep Kay that's just how it is lol


All a huge anti climax - i'd rather stay home and watch telly on my own but it's a family invite (bro and parents) so i will make the most of it ................

Stray Dearest, for the ignorant here in Derbyshire, what are ginnys.
Julia in Derbyshire

I think my girls are the only ones in their classes that haven't got their trees up yet.

I don't like to do it til after they've broken up from school.......then when it does go up they know Christmas is REALLY close.

Til that time they have their advent calendars ...and that's my only nod towards Christmas at the mo. lol.

This Christmas is way scaled down from previous ones......but i've been shopping for it since July so the girls will still be thrilled with what I've managed to get for them.

I have to be honest and say I do Christmas for the children.......if it wasn't for them I wouldn't bother. xx

haha julia, my guinea pig had babys week last tuesday, 3 gawjus little cuties xxx

that was a bit of 'lucky' planning Muffs .......... mind you'd had a little pre-warning hadn't ya?

How about food - will you have enough Monster Munch??? lol
