Cancel Christmas

[Brimoan]

In view of the financial situation this year why not cancel christmas.

[Tilly2]

I think impending divorce statistics rise at Christmas too.

I cancelled it long ago, but nobody noticed

[vodkancoke]

Please don't cancel it. It's my favourite day of the year. :(

I have reached the stage whereby I now suffer Christmas as a pain in the arse. No doubt it's an age related problem for which even Sqad may be unable to suggest a medication.

Perhaps the Ed should hold a poll on this one. It would be far more interesting than the current poll.:-

In non-financial terms it would suit me as I hate having to thing of things to buy and nice things to say when I receive things I don't want.

But as this is in Business and Finance I am wondering in what way you think it would help, Brian?

I would agree that at a micro-level it would help poorer families in the short term but I can't see how it would help the economy.

I try to cancel it every year but my family won't let me :(

"They are closing a pub near where I live. I can not understand why. I have never been in it. "

Nobody else get the irony in that statement? LOL

Anyhoo- get your mitts off Christmas! I love it!

Yes, I think Brimoan meant it- he has a great sense of humour- very dry.

[vivandorron]

Although I have indicated that Christmas gives me a pain in the posterior, I still think it's lovely time for children whose parents can afford it. Tragedy is that there is a lot of poverty and some folk are virtually forced into debt to ensure their children do not miss out.

Has everyone forgotten the real meaning of christmas? No I am not a religeous nut. But christmas is for giving what you can afford, not keeping up with the Jones's so to speak.
