Re: Christmas Countdown

will be glad when its been and gone when I was a kid Christmas started on the 24th December not middle of September its no longer a special occasion but pure money .
Our grandkids get pressies all year round so this is just another day of gifts for the adults its a big feed and crap tele and for some the relatives from hell with presents no one needs .

My uncle Ebenezer would turn in his grave if he knew how things have become

Re: Christmas Countdown

Also have a grand daughter with Christmas Day birthday.
Christmas a.m. Birthday p.m. and another birthday in June so she can have party with her friends.

With 17 grand children I'm beginning to reconsider my attitude to Christmas !!!!!!!!

Re: Christmas Countdown



Remember…..

It doesn’t take much time to be a good neighbour - just to check someone is safe, warm and well.
Knock on the door and ask if they are ok, are they warm and well? Have they got essential supplies like bread and milk?
Or pick up the phone, call them and ask if they are ok, do they need any shopping done – a few items collected when you go to the shops yourself.
This isn’t to be a nosy neighbour, remember that in wintry conditions, cold can kill and your actions could save someone’s life
