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.

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?

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

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

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.
