[Rachel666]

I really really really hate it. Almost as much as I hate C*******s itself.


all the magic is gone

 

[mackle]

I'm gonna keep talking about Christmas from now on to you! All conversations shall focus on Christmas. You're hate of it is not natural!

 

[Alan Remorse]

are you fucking kidding me??? christmas is fucking amazing. the more commercial the better. more presents for me.

era sure there's no build up to christmas really unless you're a kid or own your own kids. A few lights here and there, a few festive songs, nothing major like. Xmas is a laff.

 

[Rachel666]

ehhhh lies. and I have a ten year old sister so I never hear the fucking end of C*******s. also how can anyone trust anything on RTE news if they show "santa" "jetting off" from the "north pole"?

 

[oh shit]

lighten up, scrooge.

 

[avernus]

Just take a long look at the terrifyingly mechanical singing santas in jervis st. to convince you that christmas fucking rules.

[Thumbelina]

i love christmas
but this early start crap can fuck right off
there really shouldnt be any ads for christ-mass until december, its just irritating this early

 

[Unicron]

Christmas shit should be banned up till bogger day in Dublin. That should be the official start to Christmas.

 

[chutneyfarmer]

what day to the people of the muck travel to Dublin on? And where the hell did that tradition come from anyway???

 

[It Will Never Last]

I blame de Valera and Archbishop McQuaid. I think its in the Constitution somewhere.

Article 69.

December 8th shall be National Park Your Massey On O'Connell Street Day.

So....anyone done their shopping yet?

Christmas is amazing, better than any foreign holiday, home is the only place to be at christmas. i love it, christmas films, christmas cheer, christmas beer/spirits no matter what time of the day, what day of the week.

Christmas should start on the 1st of december,Irish language has it right the whole month is called Nollaig.wow, i can't wait.

Its really easy to ignore the early campaigns if you try

deadly.

8 December.
Feast of the Immaculate Conception.

A Church Holiday so schools had a day off. Probably still do.
Country folk used to drive up to Dublin with their kids and do their shopping.

[chutneyfarmer]

So....anyone done their shopping yet?

nope but I have a fair idea what to get everybody.

I may go through with my threat of buying all my family members Smoke Alarms for christmas.

Does anyone know of a nice way to say this to people:
"look I know you're going to spend money on me this year, I'd prefer if you just donated it to charity instead of buying me crap".

My lady has her shopping done; and was wrapping it until 1 am this morning. Go figure. Funny how the people i know who make such a big deal out of christmas stress seem to enjoy it the most when it finally arrives.

on the subject, I'm at a loss as to what to get her ma this year. I've been lowering the bar for the past 2 years now, and really want to get her somthing thats so shit it'll blow her socks off. I've decidied to do this to her every christmas from now on, but am worried that there simply are'nt enough crap things, or things crap enough to get her. Last year i got her a plastic cigarrete box cover and a pocket sized dictionary of music. She does'nt smoke and is deaf as a post. I dont know if i can better that this year. Suggestions please.

I fucking love crimbo. Love it. My favorite part is doing your entire shop in 1 hour and then goin to pub to laugh at each others attempts.
