So it's that time of year again!
Some love it and some hate it, it can be one of the best times or one of the worst times.
So we've created this thread in order for people to rant about anything Christmas related, or to just rant over the Christmas period, anything as big or as small as you like. We're here to listen
Take care of yourselves this Christmas, you're not alone *hug*

Hopefully landlord will favour with the majority, if not, could you decorate your own rooms instead?
:yes: My manager has been singing Christmas songs since August!! And there's always so much hype about Christmas before we even have halloween!!
Urgh. There are some people who decorate their houses in October, apparently!
Another one - the whole materialism. I think some people just miss the whole point of Christmas.
I've been absolutely obsessed with the "weeee wish you a merry christmas" song basically all year - I'm excited that I can sing it now without people being like wtf xD
lol
I seem to remember getting a very strange look from someone years ago for asking for a Christmas song in September! I do have a Christmas song on my ipod and have done all year. But I'm lazy and can't be bothered to delete it...
Which song? Christmas songs are the best :d
I hate how Christmas is all about the money, money, money. Nope.
Christmas Swing. It's a Jazz song from the late 1930s.
Your landlord should defo favour you guys on this, they can't really say much because it's not in the agreement or anything, but strangely enough, despite being the only Muslim in my student house, I want everything to be festive, because I think its beautiful
I'm a scrooge, but Christmas is like a time to bond, etc. Which I love. It's just an exhausting, expensive season, plus, if you've had to deal with shit like around this time of year like previous years then it does feel a bit meh.
Have you watched the bbc programme "back in time for christmas" Its really interesting! It shows how christmas has changed over the last 6 decades through a family who experiences the different christmases in the 40s,50s,60s,70s,80s and 90s. I agree christmas is way too commercialised now but its interesting to se how it used to be :P x
No I haven't but I will! I did go to a museum in London the other week though that showed how Christmas had been celebrated in middle class houses since 1780-something. Very interesting!
That sounds dope. What's it called? Or is Christmas Swing the name?
It's the name of the song!
At times, I'm glad we have online shopping. Even if waiting in for parcels is a pain in the arse.
On the upside, looking forward to decorating it with tinsel on Christmas :d
Sorry to hear that
Thanks Melian
No problems wrapping gifts (which I love) but my room is an absolute tip :rolleyes: mums moaning too, "Grans coming over on Thursday" - so mum she's sleeping in the spare room :razz:
It's always a scary thought that, like I struggle to accept that I'm at University second year. But you can get through this, and were all here supporting you!
Crikey bob, can only imagine what a pain that must be. As I'm not to sure what she does, is she working all day today? Maybe when she gets home surprise her with dinner or something?
