Anticipation to Christmas vs. the actual day
 

Which is better?

Christmas Day 100%

Build up, always preferred Christmas Eve to the day itself

I like both

But I guess when Christmas day arrives then it ends quickly.
But there's always the Christmas season :)

The build-up for kids and young parents is kinda special but you lose that when you get older.

Well the build up is many days and there is fun with parties, buying gifts, visiting friends etc

as a kid i loved christmas eve as i was asleep by like 7 on Christmas day as id been up since 4.30 am

D:

The build-up.

Actual Christmas day goes by so quickly and then its over...

Neither, as its all a load of ****e. I cant wait till 2nd Jan when we can get back to normal.

And you with a doggie called Tinsel as well, should have called her Bah-Humbug!!

:joker::joker:

Christmas day is ****ing bull**** because everyone falls asleep like hello?? let's not waste christmas you lazy pigs!

Only one person falls asleep in ours on Christmas day, the rest of us get into teams and play 30 Seconds, it gets pretty heated

Both.
Once the tree is up until the day it comes down.
Lovely long Christmas.:cheer2:

Build up really, love the day but it comes and goes in a flash! Before you know it it's evening!!

Why, is your telly broken?

No we just like eachother :thumbs:

It used to be the build up. This year is the day because after Christmas I'm buggering off to Canada!

Plus it's usually pretty stressful

We love Christmas.

The build-up is always better than the actual day itself, but Christmas Eve is when it really starts to kick in. We wake up early before 6 and do our shopping for fruit and veg and get any last minute bits and bobs and special treats...and then we pick up the Turkey, come home and sit and relax or put the radio on as I prepare everything in the kitchen. That is the moment when it feels Christmassy for me. The day itself comes and goes in a flash...especially on the morning when people are opening their pressies. Boxing day comes and goes and before we know it the full week has gone and it's time to take the tree down until the following year.

What is 30 seconds? , is that a bit like charades?

the day, never really feel christmas-y until the actual day :p

I keep forgetting that it’s Christmas time atm :skull:

So hopefully the day!

Both but can't beat the day

Well I keep forgetting it’s Christmas so certainly not the anticipation, my love!

The build up for me.
The day itself is often too hectic at times for me apart from Christmas dinner.

For me Christmas day starts the Christmas season for the next 12 days, so I find boxing day more relaxing, so enjoying that period between Christmas day and New Years day particularly.
