Way to enter into the spirit of things

I'm all for a good pagan midwinter festival ... just minus all the cheap junk and commercialisation that's been going on since September!

was originally a product of the Coca-Cola company after all!

You find yourself humming "Deck the Halls" under your breath at work.

You realise that you've been so busy trying to find presents for your cheapskate cousin's little brats that you've forgotten to get a card for your oldest friend.

You eat more turkey dinners in the space of 48 hours than you did in the last 48 weeks.

As opposed to the U2 CD, which they play for the other 10 months!

At the pub I used to live in, the jukebox company never took the Xmas CD out - so in June you just had to leap for the 'Reject' button when no-one had put money in and 'I wish it could be Xmas every day' came on

Everyone is charging around like a complete loony, and old people are being even more vicious with the bus stop queue jumping and the trolly toe breakings
I Love Christmas (Yay, 1st time I used it)
(Now abusing it)

You hear 'Feed the World ' for the first time - that usually does it for me

When the majority of companies you try ringing at work have those terrible carol jolly hold music that drives you insane!

When you hear the Toys R Us advert "it's called Toys R Us, Toys R Us, Toys R Us, Toys R Us, Toys R Us!"

When every other advert is for a "Best of..." compilation album! I'm getting the U2 one for Xmas!

When it starts snowing in Huddersfield!!

YEY!! It's christmas at last!!

Oh bloody Essex, We SO don't get snow! Remind me what it looks like again

When the shops are heaving at the normally quiet times, and the queue in the Post Office is gi-normous!!!

Kiddie's Christmas parties and school nativity plays...
(i'm missing Joel's today for the first time in three years because of Ray's shifts )

When you can't get the toy your child desperatley wants 'cos it's the toy that everyone wants and there's no more stock 'til after the New Year

When you make a pratt of yourself at your work Xmas bash

We had ours last night. At least this year we were spared one of the partners finding himself waking up covered in puke on Marylebone Road still dressed as Cher! (yes, you read that right - "himself" and "Cher"

However, one of the senior managers who's not in today is missing his wallet. It was recovered from a toilet. In the toilet. Covered in a certain substance. I don't know who recovered it but whoever it was must have also been pretty far gone to fish it out.

Another colleague apparently woke up on his sofa covered in semi-digested scrambled eggs. Or, rather, his flatmate woke him up to get him to clean it up.

Almost like being at a con...

Ditto, 'cept I live in Darwen, not Essex, and while we do get snow, there isn't very much of it.

Roll on tonnes of snow!!
