I completely love Christmas as it's the only time I can fully let go of work, shut the business down , button down the hatches and spend time with friends and family, but I'm not so keen on all the mass marketing that goes along with it

Christmas would be great if it started at Christmas, maybe a week before at most.
By the start of November I'm sick of having it rammed down my throat by commercial and marketing s***e. We've got calendars, we all know it's coming!

Agreed, it's made me quite cynical about the whole thing. Then there's family pressure and who/when to see  |

"Were smart we buy them a year before when they sell the christmas stock"
I only do that with Christmas Puddings - they're half price and taste better the following year...

"Book your Christmas dinner now"
No thanks

Bah humbug. Happy Christmas Jez.
I take it you are not religious, or do you reserve your Christian fervour for Easter?
Anyway - Xmas? Are you referring to Christ's Mass? It is only an "abomination" because you have fallen for the marketing hype trap, and not what is is really all about, which is a religeous festival.
