'Tis the season to be jolly - allegedly. But does the potent mix of families and enforced 'fun' trigger festive flashpoints? Our slightly random poll goes from the sublime (the true meaning of Christmas?) to the ridiculous (Christmas at home versus Christmas on a sun-drenched beach?) only takes a few minutes and you'll automatically be entered into this week's competitions. Thank you in advance

Done! Can I win please?

ratbunny · 18/12/2008 15:39

vinegartits - totally agree. there was no option for no partner, with family and friends. are we lepers then - if you have no partner, you clearly spend all the time on your tod

Didn't like the assumption that everyone believes in FC at some point. In my house he didn't exist!

goldFAQinsenceandmyrrh · 17/12/2008 03:26

I didn't have too many problems - I also have no partner, and will be sharing the DS's on Christmas with my ex........christ they can't give every blooody option under the sun and it does say who will you be spending the "BULK" of Christmas day with - not all of it (so in that mind it covers my splitting the DS's between exH and I)

There was no option for spending Xmas with partner, children, puppy and goldfish. I can't believe I am the only MNetter celebrating like this.

giantsantasacks · 16/12/2008 13:31

agree with cuddly - I needed an option for spending christmas with:

waking up with partner and both children, going over to ex-partners for lunch with his family then coming home but leaving one child there...

Colonelcupcake · 16/12/2008 13:15

done

notbusta · 16/12/2008 09:43

Impossible to fill in if you're a lone parent - of course I will be spending Christmas with DCs but without partner - as I haven't blardy got one! Thanks for rubbing my nose in it at this sensitive time of year mumsnet..

The sun drenched beach is actually a windswept farmhouse in scotland, but it is FAR away from all relatives.
Also FC is a pretend story in our house, ie my dcs don't believe and never have but hopefully they won't spoil it for others.

HeadFairy · 15/12/2008 11:44

BS, I was just wondering if anyone was actually going to answer those questions that way round, sadly I'm the other way round...

Done!

I wonder if I will be the only respondent who answers
Q5: Would most like to spend Christmas at home.
Q6: Will actually be spending Christmas on a sun-drenched beach.

S1ur · 15/12/2008 00:55

I have done it.

I say this because clearly if you don't say you've done it, then Gerry's fingers get cut off one by one. Which let's face it would make wrapping presents a PITA.

nowwearefour · 14/12/2008 21:37

done. interested to know what you will do with the results

lauraloolajinglesalltheway · 14/12/2008 19:52

Done!

rebelmulledwine72 · 14/12/2008 18:40

Done.
But I think there should have been a "never believed in FC and neither do my kids" option

CuddlyUnderTheMistletoe · 14/12/2008 18:30

I'm sorry, I couldn't complete the poll.
I intend to spend my christmas with my family, my son will split his christmas between myself and his father's where he will also be with family.

Unfortunately this is simply not an option with your poll. I believe the split christmas is standard with separated families so why is there no option? I think perhaps this should be addressed.

As it stands, I cannot respond to your poll.

Sorry.

LaDiDaDi · 14/12/2008 16:02

Done!

RustyBear · 14/12/2008 13:55

done it

PuzzYuleLogs · 14/12/2008 13:09

Done, no Q2 either. However I have made a guess at what it might have been an answered C)

If you weren't bloomin pregnant, how drunk would you be on Christmas day?

A) Sober as a judge
B) A bit squiffy, but still responsible
C) Singing loudly and getting raised eyebrows from in-laws as you feel up DH in their presence for the hundredth time.
D) In A&E where someone mistakes you for Jonny Vegas

Bring on 2009

mrsmHARKTHEHERALDANGELSSINGet · 14/12/2008 13:09

no question 2 here either!
have no partner, my brother coming down but no option for any other family members all questions biased towards those with partners
