  • I am genuinely interested to know as someone who doesn't celebrate it or been in the UK just over a decade.

    What exactly happens on Christmas?

  • The gravel thread gets locked forever

  • I don't get mad in to it but I don't get how humbug some people are about it. I like how it's a time when most people are off work together and make an effort to see friends/family. Actual xmas day for me is just based around a big lunch with lots of roasted stuff.

  • Too much food and drink. Bitching about crap on tv. Awareness that many people spend it alone, not always by choice. Emphasis on family, as if that's the only time they get together. I stopped celebrating it years ago, reinforced when my mother died early December. For me it's a few days off work and usually when I head off to Jamaica to argue with an uncle, visit mum's grave, soak up the sun and drinks lots of Red Stripe sorrel beer - delish!

    Roll on next December sob.
