To be thankful Christmas is over for another year....

[Oakenbeach]

Presents opened by 6am.... Dinner eaten and decorations RIPPED down and back in the loft. Roll on New Year.

Jeez it's only 1pm - if you hate it that much why bother?

Just don't celebrate it. It's not a mandatory holiday, many people don't celebrate it.

It's supposed to be a celebration so if you feel that bad 13 hours in then honestly, you'll probably feel better not bothering.

Yes, I have to ask too, why bother? It's not compulsory. And presumably if you're only doing it for other people they probably feel a bit shit about having the decorations ripped down by 1pm.

Sounds like a right good time round yours!

Blimey. Why even bother?

Do you have kids ?

What eveshopper said.

Surely it'd be better not to bother?

I'm still drinking my breakfast bucksfizz and dh is still opening and building presents. Christmas Day is only starting here. Why are you having such a rubbish time?

Crikey you sound like fun....

Bloody hell it's not compulsory you know. Do something else if you don't like the tradition? You could just use the day for something you DO like.... Not sure why I'm having to point that out but anyhow

Do you have kids?

Yes, they had their presents. We had our dinner... Time to move on... Onwards and upwards! Prepping for sales tomorrow.

Your house sounds soulless at Christmas!

Can’t stand dragging things out.... Does no one else like being efficient?

How do you 'prep' for sales? Don't you just go out and buy stuff?

What a spoil sport

All presents are opened here, but food is still cooking. Dc are enjoying playing with their new toys.

Decorations won’t come down today either.

There’s efficiency and being a grinch

If if works for you, then it works!
The opinions of random internet people doesn't really matter does it.

Woah, Christmas doesn't end in this house till after New Years. 🥂

Bloody hell we’re still in our pjs - Christmas isn’t nearly over yet, it’s only just started.

You’re on the wind up.

Here, have a and a turkey leg.

Why bother and why the rush?. I haven't even put the turkey in the oven yet!!

Poor kids

Barely started here , had some presents and just about to leave for dsis for dinner . Going to the shops on Boxing day would be my worst nightmare I like a leisurely Christmas . Frankly if I felt like you I doubt I’d bother at all .

Hahaha if you hate it all that much why are you 'prepping' to go out in holiday madness sales tomorrow and spend even more money? You can't even spend a full day enjoying what you already bought for today.
