For me it's the crowds in shops and increased traffic on the roads. I now try and avoid peak times as much as possible

I've got to admit I love everything about Xmas. Hogmanay is losing it's attraction for some reason though and I don't enjoy it as much. Last year was the first time we never went out for it and we ended up just going to the cinema instead.

Not seeing my kids - its really the time when I do miss them

They are now at an age they are out with friends and constantly going to parties so as they stay with their mother, I'm the last person who get a visit.

The unrealistic expectation to be with family members that don't give a toss about you the rest of the year and to make out that your enjoying it too..

The stress. Running around daft trying to buy all the presents then spending ages wrapping them up. On the plus side i always lose weight in December.

I hate the way the whole of December is now Xmas time. Plus the way everything important just seems to be cancelled from 20th December to 4th January.

For the first time in nearly 20 years, I'm not in retail and having to deal with it every day, so can't really say there's anything I hate as it's all pretty much new to me. Do enjoy when the schools go off as the roads are much quieter in the morning drive home

So glad we have a subway here, that saves sitting in traffic. Id say its the increased amount of beggars, these are not homeless but a gang, I have saw 5 of them twice getting out a car. I give food to the real hard up guys.

I feel for you there. But I have a small advantage in that I detest Xmas and everything about it. So less of an issue.

But I do miss my kids generally. Never get to see them enough.
