How's everyone finding the Christmas season?

Tree drying out in the sitting room
Kids nagging about toys
Leaping out of bed at 5am to move the fucking elf
Panicking about affording it all
Navigating time demands from relatives
Yep feels like Christmas |

Christmas tree is up with a week
No gift’s bought, but will do it all in one whip locally this weekend
Our kids are adults so they’re realistic about presents
The older I get the less stressed I am about Christmas, I’ll do a nice Christmas Day dinner but really it’s just a pimped up Sunday roast
Certainly won’t be getting into debt for just the few days, not worth it  |

You don't get much more Christmas than that.
All that's left is standing barefoot on a block of lego then you really know  |

It's not the Christmas Season for me until December 8th....
Most presents got though & they'll be wrapped the day Christmas Tree & Cribs go up (8th December).... |

Can't take time of work.... In case it gets busy.
It's not busy,.... So redundancies and threats of redundancy, combined with you can't take time off, just in case it miraculously gets busy.... Madness.
Positive: I get paid to sit around my house, waiting for it to get busy.
Will put tree up this weekend, might even buy some new Decoratiins. Thankfully no elf or santa believers here, so clothes and money or vouchers will make the shopping easier. I don't feel very Christmassy, maybe it ll kick off after 8th December. |

I have always loved Christmas!!!
This is my first Christmas since I retired so first year of not juggling work, family and caring responsibilities and it's quite relaxing.
My son was born at Christmas so it will always be a special time. |

That's a mad situation all together,

Got the Christmas vibes in mid November. Some lights were up. Shops had some Christmas stuff. Jack Frost was out in full force all last week. People stopping for a chat. Favourite time of year.
The extra expense of everything put a damper on things. But even the pubs have picked up was in the Heritage Hotel last nite and loads having a bite to eat and a pint. Enjoy it while it lasts mid January February do be quiet |

It's going slow enough although I prefer the early build up, the subtle decorations, seeing the selection boxes and chocolates early etc
Looking at the long range forecast now and again for possible snow.
Over the next few weeks you'll see good looking couples out shopping together, reminds me of time gone by when I had a partner and we'd get dressed up in our warm clothes head to Limerick or Galway.
Now I'll settle driving from north Clare alone across to the new line
in Tubber seeing the berried holly on the Holly tree's listening to Christmas FM then to the Christmas market in Kinvara. Meet a few friends, drive back by the coast on home.... |

Divorced and live alone...losing connection with my three adult kids...working a lot from home so loneliness hits you in the face as Christmas approaches. To think I'll probably buy some processed turkey slices to make a sandwich to eat alone on Christmas Day is a bit depressing. But hey onwards and upwards ! |

I've my work Christmas party this weekend and I've started jarring up some homemade Christmas treats so yeah it's starting to feel like the festive season.
No tree or decorations up, that will get done on Sunday I hope!  |
