Susie, how are relations between you and your sister nowadays? Do you think you will be exchanging cards?

Re: What does Christmas mean to you?

Christmas, as in a religious festival, means nothing to me.

Christmas, as in a time to over indulge and waste time and money on tat that nobody wants means even less.

It USED to mean a couple days off work but I don't work anymore

And the telly is rubbish as well, luckily I have plenty of better stuff recorded

Re: What does Christmas mean to you?



Personally I think Christmas is at a very inconvenient time of year right in the middle of summer holidays which are split in two by Christmas and New Year. Move it to July or August I say.

Re: What does Christmas mean to you?

Hi Jazzi.

Sister and I have not spoken since the Funeral and I don't wish to either. She didn't send myself or my husband a birthday card this year. I will send her a Christmas card but not a special one and just see if she sends one back, but not bothered if she doesn't.

Re: What does Christmas mean to you?

I think the shops should be open and it shouldn't be a public holiday. Same with January 2nd - why is that a holiday here?

Still, at least the corner shop below me will be open.

Me too susan .
Christmas is a sad time for me I think of those who are no longer here .
I hate New Year too another year gone .
I will be glad when it's all over .
