Has long disappeared under a mountain of money making craziness. Im not bah humbug, I still think its great for the little kids, but this year if Im not working my son and myself will have a nice meal on the day and Ill phone my family back in Scotland. Already on Insta and FB there are the photos of big Christmas trees with a grands worth of lights and decorations, mountains of pressies all sitting there some of which will never be used once opened. I feel sorry for people who cant afford, but feel duty bound, to give gifts because its expected of them. My son will get money from me and one or two special friends will receive a small gift because they have been good friends to me. Otherwise, business as usual.

...of those holidays that really have never meant jack to me since I moved to Oz. That and around so much of the world it's seems to be an over-priced marketing scam! Before I had the opportunity to become divorced, every year was the same and fuck me dead if it didn't start to seem like that movie "Ground Hog Day". Back home....it was cold, very cold and the ground was nearly always covered in snow. One of my fav years, I rode my horse to the shops and I just could not be bothered trying to move five feet of fresh powder just get my car out! From the air too...Indigo skies and twinklings from Little house with chimneys smoking straight into my airspace! There ya' go Santa...ho ho ho. You're too fat and old to deal with three so be a good old fart and drop one off for me! Jingle my fucking bells...this year is just gonna suck CM the Christmas Agnostic

Normally I'd be with you but after a protracted legal battle for my son I'm looking forward to seeing my son and giving him presents. My controlling bitch of an ex wife has denied my for years. No more. I get to see his little dial light up when he see all the stuff I've bought him this year...

I'm working all Nightshifts over X-mas and day shift New Year's day. My days off are in-between. My family is very multicultural (some members do not celebrate Christmas), So it is no big deal. What is important is spending quality time together every day of the year, not just on one day. We do not need material things/decorations hung up to prove that to anyone. I am blessed to have such a beautiful, loving supportive family. That's the most important thing to me. My twin in America goes nuts and overboard at Christmas. She has beautiful themed trees/decorations set up in each room of her house. It's craziness! Her Facebook page is full of her christmas crap, baked cakes/biscuits etc. She's full-on obsessed with Christmas! Ms Foxy

Yep it may suck for some but most problems above are truly FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS. Look on the bright side. We all have food, accommodation, good free healthcare, a stable economy and a very safe country to live in. Spare a thought for those less fortunate in other countries where they don’t have it as good as we do. We have our own issues too but they’re pretty small in the big picture. Happy holidays everyone! Hope you ALL get laid for Christmas!

I haven't looked forward to it for many years as, no matter where I work, it gets ridiculously busy which results in me being too damn tired to enjoy those couple of days off anyway.I expressed my "meh" attitude regarding Xmas at work the other day and was called a grinch so I pointed out that it is not necessarily a happy time for everyone.For some, it's quite sad and only serves to remind them of what and who is missing in their lives. Everyone running around madly buying stuff to give to people who don't need it or don't like the item anyway. Jeez, how much unwanted stuff gets returned to the shops or regifted!The chaos just causes everyone to get impatient at the shops, at airports, on the roads etc.........it's far from relaxing and the true meaning of Xmas gets buried in the mayhem. In addition, there are so many dearly departed people that I miss along with that one really special person with whom I was deeply in love but who never loved me back. If you have a happy time at Xmas, that's great for you and I envy you.Wish it was me. Above everything though, everyone........have a SAFE festive season.Want to see everyone back on here, in one piece, in 2019.

For this black duck. Everyday is xmas. Just be grateful for amazing friends and the family you choose to call family. I like the season as everyone comes together. You catch up with mates you only see a few times and a year and best of all its holiday time. Time to put the hat up and relax. As for the actual event and meaning..... yeah nah. Ill stick with my pagan beliefs.

I have good family times at Xmas, but sometimes I've been so busy with work (transport) for previous employers, it's been effectively over by the time it arrives, working solid up to late night on Xmas Eve. Family still hope one year I could bring a plus one company at Xmas, and not the four legged kind!

I try to be Clark Griswold Just day fuck it, and let what it is, be what it shall be, then have a drink or two and if all goes to hell, flip the table and cut sick at everyone 🤣🤣🤣 On a serious note though, take care of your inner-selves and try not to stress about the things that won't matter past the day, or in short, ignore the fucktards, they don't count anyway 👍😎

That certainly doesn’t sound fun at all Mr B. We are having a small family gathering with one of daughters, the other will be away and we are avoiding going to the bigger family gathering as some family members can be a bit fucked, or a lot...

The past couple of years have definitely been of the Bah Humbug variety when it comes to Christmas, but I nonetheless accepted invites from people to theirs for lunch/dinner etc. All I wanted to do was stay at home and just chill, do my own thing. I feel almost obliged to accept invites though, then you're part of stupid Kris Kringles and making White Christmas (which nobody eats) as your food contribution, so you sort of just rock up and try to enjoy it through gritted teeth. I am thankful that I am working Christmas and Boxing day this year, so don't have to worry about any of it.

I have worked in retail since I was 15 and worked every xmas period. Long shifts, customers that go "silly" I prefer the term insane and not really having any enjoyment what so ever. This year has been probably been my best year in a long time. I have a job that is away from retail, actually uses my university degree, moved in with a friend and achieved some great fitness goals. This xmas will be a nice relaxing one, I have 2 days off before and I get to actually take in the xmas atmosphere. I still hate xmas music and scarred me for life, but I found a really awesome Star Wars xmas t-shirt I'm ready to wear at work. I'm not much of a present person and really just want to have fun with family and friends. I was labeled "the grinch" every year from those who don't understand the retail experience. You don't get 2 weeks off, it's "all hands on deck" work is a nightmare and staff call in sick every day. I guess the only annoying part is there is always that family member or friend who ruins it for me, always one who starts some unnecessary drama for attention. This xmas I'm happy for the first time since I was a kid. Probably went off topic, but whatever.

Whilst i can understand everyones reasons for disliking the silly season i have always enjoyed it the food the family the cheesy movies and afternoon siestas, Boxing day was more of a fun day lots of margaritas and a BBQ my Dads idea of a fun boxing day was to get toasted on magaritas and play Queens we are the champions so loud just to annoy his neighbours lol sadly he died rather tragically 11 years ago 5 days before Christmas but the margarita tradition continues My Christmases for the past 6 years have usually either been spent in Orange NSW or Mt Beauty Vic but due to a relationship break down a little over 6 months ago my Christmas will be vastly different here in Melbourne my daughter will be working over Christmas and she is really the only family i have here there is no tree to go up and no christmas food to prepare because there is no one to prepare it for and i love feeding people. I think i will maybe find out if there is a food kitchen somewhere feeding those less fortunate than ourselves and see if they need an extra hand as i dont want to spend Christmas alone sorry for the rant

Like a lot of other first responders i will be working xmas day as well as all of the other xmas period holidays. The last couple of years i have at least had my kids come over on the weekend before xmas and cooked us up a storm and filled our guts until bursting point, day enjoyed. This year as the kids continue to not visit me because i told them off for being disrespectful and doing the wrong things at school i shall be truly all alone so i work instead to shut those thoughts away. Their choice, not mine. They punish me for them doing the wrong things. So my gift at this time is to fill a shift giving someone else the opportunity to spend the day with their family. So this year, Santa can go fuck himself and other un-named people and i'll push through at work like its just another day. Ho fucking ho 🎅🔫

DAF hearing you totally - worked in retail for many years and Christmas you are always done up the bum. The only day you really have off is Christmas day itself, working the rest. Year in, year out. Want to jump on a plane and go spend Christmas with family, like the rest of the population seemingly does? Stiff shit, you're working boxing day. Oh, and you're single so you don't really like Christmas anyway do you? We'll give those employees with families the entire 3-4 days off because they have children and Christmas must mean so much more to them, you get to work instead in an understaffed store and run around like a blue-arsed fly. But hey, be happy! We're paying you time and a half! I got a bit triggered by your post, sorry. And there I was moaning about Christmas earlier. Never happy!

Silk... I hear you. I'm a little more fortunate though, my family and extended family have always had small and intimate Xmas lunches. Because all of them except myself are partnered, this has meant they alternate on different years between their blood families or their married families for main Xmas lunch (of course we see each other before, and after, for leftovers!) On the occasional year, when my siblings are both with their married families, I have actually catered Xmas lunch here for 2-3 others including my parents. This year though it turns out with everyone else with their respective partner's families, I was almost in danger of also being alone. But will now travel to see my mother who is staying with a friend for the lunch. Perhaps when it's necessary, all us lonesome singles can get together and party it up and get Merry together! :)

Have a safe quite Xmas to those working in uniform, alone with the mob doing Xmas to allow married folk to have Xmas off. Use to work most Xmas to help the younger group out, but always went home to see the family while on shift.

I think it's important to be thankful of what you have, not what you have not. I'm a believer in this forum, and I think it really serves a purpose, it opens other peoples lives to everyone elses. Saying that, the posters aren't to know, or haven't considered, and there is no pointed finger from me in blame. I think IMHO, that the pain that some people feel this time of year, a reno gone not so well...if you can afford it....it really pails into insignificance, maybe not for you, but for some. I'm sorry to hear that the reno hasn't gone so well, but I'm really mindful of the people that don't even have a home to renovate, have had their children withheld, haven't even considered Christmas but to say "merry Christmas" to everyone else. Life might seem tough, but it gets a lot tougher than you describe.That said, merry Christmas and a happy new year when the renos are finally finished. All the very best.
