    Why can't we just cancel Christmas? Everyone could have a special weekend at a time of their choosing to do with as they wish. Pipe dream I know, but it would be soooooo much easier.

    Feel free to have another special weekend at a time of your choosing as well (or indeed many special weekends and weeks), but please leave Christmas alone. Despite some of the comments on here, it is not just another day but a very special day (for our family and many others who believe, and I am not just talking about Father Christmas :santa2:).

    I appreciate people have different perspectives and that it sometimes presents challenges accommodating everyone's wishes - we drew the line when we had children that Christmas Day was for us, at home, and others in our family could join us if they wished (invariably not taken up as they have other plans). We then have Boxing Day or other days over the Christmas holidays where other parts of the family get together at our house or at others (sometimes hosted, sometimes sharing the preparation by bringing different items for the meal to share the load etc). The first year we did this there may have been a few noses put out of joint as it was not as we had done for a number of years, but as has also been commented, family traditions evolve (new family members, children, the passing of loved ones) and worrying about travelling huge distances, sleeping on airbeds or in unsuitable surroundings, and not enjoying it, is against the spirit and meaning of Christmas. Think what works for you/your partner/close family and what is ideal, then think of what others are wanting and if it is all possible - if not, see what compromises could work - it is give and take and generally solutions can be found :cool:. If not, then sometimes you have to do what is best for you and people (generally) get over it - our only rule was ensuring that no one was left alone as a result of the plans and it has worked out so far :A.

    Try not to stress out people, it is a fantastic time of year :xmassmile:snow_grin:xmassign::xmastree::rudolf:.

    No joy with UDIs today - apparently not in stock and no subs. There's a big new box on the high shelf in the store, lazy pickers. Not sure what it will do to my APG, it's not in yet.

    If £1 instore, it will mean you still get the APG match and it hasn't actually cost you anything (and you don't have any of the awful Udi's to eat - double result) - see it as a Brucie Bonus :cool:.

    fifa's goal of the year

    http://www.fifa.com/ballon-dor/puskas-award/

    ive just seen a fantastic goal by a woman on the news. its the public who chooses the winner, so I voted for her. the others are big pro's who we see every day. Stephanie roche

    I would love to see what fifa do if she wins against the likes of Ronaldo

    bumping for the day shift. its a great goal better than anything on the world cup

    :T a happy Christmas post. It's a lovely time of year. My children will very rarely get a Xmas with both of us there as we both work in jobs that don't change or stop on any day of the year. But, we do what we can and will have Christmas on the 23rd. My family don't live close but when he leaves for work on Xmas Eve night, whatever time it is I'll be putting the kids in the car and driving to be with my family.

    Some people don't have family or the ones they do have are difficult so I feel sad for them. I've had a terrible couple of years for losing people. It just makes me want to enjoy life more. It is hard but for those who do enjoy it and for the kids it's magical. So let it go on. Merry Christmas xx
