Is Martin Lewis a Scrooge?

Well - he has just invited us to discuss, but i can't seem to post on the tv appearances blogs.

Of course he isn't. I'm in total agreement with everything he says, and have been for many years. Christmas nowadays is just one huge commercial exercise, and aren't you just fed up of seeing whats her face advertising Icelan*. She is so famous, i can't remember her name, but wasn't she on x facto*?

We were having a conversation at work yesterday, saying how people used to be over the moon receiving an apple and a tangerine for xmas.

How times have changed. Maybe i'm mr scrooge too


Discuss?.......................

No, I love the advert with Stacey Solomon when she's driving home for Christmas...I always hold my breath in anticipation for the roadsign to Dagenham at which point I can contain my laughter no more! Classic, I just love it!! :T:T:T

I luv Stacey as she is genuine and down to earth. Loved her XF audition when Simon talked to her funnily and her audition was fab (makes me cry) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPoyh39vkvw

Christmas is a disappointment/false to me. Too many people spend, eat and argue too much!! All that hype (and it starts too early) for a couple of days of financial misery, indulgence, flatulence, arguments! (and why do people send a Christmas card just because somebody has sent them one/sake of it?)

It's for the children really, but I was spoilt too much and probably loads still are.

I am working through Christmas , the money is far to good to turn down.
My Christmas will start on the 2nd Jan ...
On a plus side , my summer holiday will be paid for with the extra cash ..
