I love the run up to Christmas, but the day itself is always a bit of a let down -maybe because I spend half the day in the kitchen and the rest zonked out on the sofa after the Queen's Speech having imbibed too much sherry:laugh: I prefer Boxing Day. I agree with Lee that Jan/Feb are miserable, especially when all the Christmas bills come in!

I normally like it but hoping it never arrives because it means I'll be 4 days away from becoming a dad and having 18 months worth of sleepless nights :(

I always prefer Christmas Eve over Christmas Day itself though

18 months? Don't be daft.. 4-6 weeks at the most! Unless you let them take the piss, which I wouldn't recommend.... and yrs a newborn learns how to take the piss very quickly.

YES. I'm always excited, except last year when I got snowed in for like a week with no food and nothing felt Chrismassy cos everyone was too pissed off from the ice and snow.

Sleepless nights because of worrying over nothing etc.. goes beyond whether its crying or not. Or so my brother & sister tell me, definitely think they're just trying to make me feel as unprepared as possible for their own amusement

Congratulations Tom,the best Christmas present ever ,and all babies are different get them into a routine and he/she will be sleeping through in no time,never had any problems with mine they were sleeping through at a few weeks old.and just imagine the Christmases you'll have when he/she is a toddler,it's magic you can play with their toys and not get frowned upon,lol

Really looking forward to Christmas this year, think it's because I'll have been living away from home for the first time ever so will start to appreciate family life and stuff more

Yeah sounds like it... its really not that bad. The first few weeks you'll wonder Wtf you've let yourself in for and you'll feel so tired that you'll wish someone would just shoot you in the head, but the first night he or she sleeps through is the best feeling ever!.... well apart from their first day at school ;)

I love the run upto Christmas, love going out carefully selecting pressies for my friends, and then all the daft stocking fillers which end up better than the main gifts.

Love the girly get together that we don't always have time for usually - and of course, the obligatory collapse at the end of Xmas night from too much food, booze and laughter.

I love Boxing Day to for the peaceful recovery from the excesses of Christmas Day.

I HATE the build up. I adore it from Xmas eve onwards when it's all done and just me and my family

I prefer the build up and Christmas Eve. But it's nice on Christmas Day. Opening presents and chilling out. Waiting for the family to arrive. There is usually like 15/20 of us! lol. I like Boxing Day too, I usually go to the pub or something but I rather work on bank holidays and get double pay! New Years Eve is okay depending if there is a good party or not.

I like getting stuff and decorating, but I despise the inevitable complaining about money and endless yammering about 'the true meaning of christmas' etc. I prefer halloween.

The run up to christmas is the best part, it's the socialising with family that ruins the actual day/week :hmph:

I don't like Xmas with good reason, my dad died of leukaemia on Xmas Eve and my nana died at the end of November the same year, my mum lost both her own mum and her husband within a month of each other, it was horrendous! Between Xmas and New Year I had to return my dad's presents which I had bought him, I spent the money on my mum. Plus this year I am not working, as I was made redundant in April and despite really trying, just can't get a job atm. I will be glad to see the back of this year, though I will try and get into the spirit of things as much as possible, bring on 2012 and hope it is a better year for me.

I LOVE the run up to Christmas, hearing the songs, buying presents, decorations and all that.

Then it comes and goes in a flash and at 11pm you're sitting there pissed, bursting with mince pies and Fererro Rocher thinking "Where the hell did that go?" :P

Christmas is my favourite holiday and nothing even compares to it for me. I really genuinely love it. I just have so much fun listening to music out loud whilst decorating my house with lights and stuff. I also really love cooking for everybody and having another excuse to get drunk.

Christmas >
