“Christmas is for children!”

[CleverLilViper]

This seems festive.

it really grinds my gears when parents say that Christmas is just for children.

They use that to prioritise themselves at a time of year that is special to a lot of people- parents and non-parents alike- I’m sure of it.

It’s so hypocritical too. Did the people who trot out this nonsense get to 18 and stop celebrating Christmas until they had kids? I’m going to bet not.

He deserves all the recognition.. Baby carrying all that presents? Hard graft.

Does that count as child labour? 😂

I’m a bit late to the party but there’s a brilliant one liner in one of The Royle Family Christmas specials where they’re all sitting on the sofa and Denise turns to Dave and goes ‘Christmas, it’s not for kids really is it?’. I always pour myself a drink at Christmas and think it with a smile.
(it’s true though).

I'm a parent, but I loath when people say this - I loved Christmas before I had kids, I love it now that I have them, and I very much plan to enjoy it when they're grown and we don't have all the chaos of Santa Claus etc to deal with. In my experience it's usually older people with grown-up children who tend to say this - it's such a miserable way of looking at the season.
