Less Than a Month To Xmas Day.

Ah! Tis the season to be jolly!

I'm no bah humbug Scrooge! But I do not enjoy this time of year. I guess its because I only had five ... maybe six enjoyable Christmas times as a child. My mother Lola died a month after Christmas day ... she was only 46 years old ... I only 11 years old. :-1

I think Christmas is a great time for kids. I mean ask any young boy or girl what was the best time of their life so far & I bet most of them will mention a certain Christmas holiday time. :-6

But for the rest ... well I don't enjoy the festive period. Earthlings drink way too much, they drive way too fast and they excuse their behavior by saying "It's Xmas!!" :driving:

I close my business on 21 December every year and I can't wait for those three weeks of holiday to end. :-5

I so wish I was a kid again so I could enjoy Christmas!!! :guitarist

C'Mas is for kids - I wish I was a kid again so C'mas could be fun.

I enjoy C'mas - but there's no anticipation & silly joy.

I'm sorry to hear your Mothers death has scared the Holiday

My Father also died @ C'mas.

Take Care

So sorry about your Mom Jones.. To lose her at 11 years old Is heartbreaking. My Sister died of breast cancer and left three young children so i know It's something that hurts all the time and big time even when your grown.

Peter and I are not drinkers per say but we always have Champagne with our Christmas dinner. I have as many bottles of Bailey's Irish Cream as I can stomach over Christmas with some Port with my Stilton cheese.

I usually start preparing for what I am going to cook and bake around this date. We have a full Turkey dinner Christmas day but my favourite meal Is when i get home from the races on Boxing Day and we have cold cuts with pickles.
