I agree to an extent. It's got to the point where I constantly groan at every advert on TV. Back in October all this Xmas nonsense started and now I'm fed up with it. Whenever I go shopping now the town is always packed and it's not pleasant.

I don't want to think about it until the 15th.

I just want to ban it

My idea,

Kids get all there present on there birthday instead, ( less debt over the year if you have more then one kid! )

Xmas hoilday scapr and repalce by a 3 day hoilday - NEW YEAR!

New year eve,
1st
2nd all off!

while to two day before that a sautday operate will take place,

9am - 3pm!

That might work for adults but I think the children would protest quite a bit.

The trouble is kids don't even know why we celebrate Christmas and all they are interested in is expensive gifts.

kevvosa · « **Reply #6 on:** December 05, 2006, 11:26:52 pm »

I think the modern kids idea of a Christmas present is the most expensive Ipod or the latest games console.

Then I am really lucky with my kids because they are not like that.

I am not saying they don't want those things, they are kids after all, but they understand that it isn't possible right now and they're really good.

I wish for a great many things, but when it comes down to the really important stuff, Yes I think I'm lucky.

It's good that your kids aren't like that Velvet - I think when kids get to the stage where they expect really expensive stuff every year, they're in danger of becoming spoilt brats when they get older.

Velvet Darkness · « **Reply #9 on:** December 05, 2006, 11:44:05 pm »

Yes I agree with that kevvosa.

I also think that they can end up being bitterly dissappointed when they grow up and find out that inevitably real life isn't like that.

My kids get upset over things they can't have, but they handle it well and I'm proud of them for it.

When I was small some plasticine , a doll and some colouring books made me happy on Xmas morning.

Velvet Darkness · « **Reply #11 on:** December 05, 2006, 11:47:39 pm »

I loved plasticine. It was squashy and squidgy and it smelled funny!

loulou · « **Reply #12 on:** December 05, 2006, 11:50:23 pm »

Imagine kids now getting plasticine, colouring books and having to spend all afternoon cutting out and playing the game on the back of the selection box. There would be a war.

Velvet Darkness · « **Reply #13 on:** December 06, 2006, 12:27:33 am »

Oh do you remember doing that too? Our dog always ate the dice out of all our games so we could never find one to play the games with once we were done.

OH Good Grief I'm OLD!!!!!

christmas aint about presents or even jesus these days - it's truly about an atmosphere where everyone's just that little bit nicer to each other. and for that reason, i love it. joy to the world! wjp66639057.1275578704
