Sounds like everyone's buying into the commercial side

[supersallymum]

We are not religious so don't do the god thing chrimbo is a time for family and gifts a nice..but reading a lot of the "I WANT" and didn't get or the crap, I've got the wrong thing sounds all a little bit middle class when people up and down the country have bugger all or will go into more debt to get the latest bit of landfill coz thats where it ends up....maybe we Mumsneters should pave a new way for Christmas and give to others 1st?????? discuss

I would spend a bit more time on here before you decide what everyone is like.
Then post again with a bit more insight.
But do hang around. There are loads of fabulous people on gereldinetheluckygoat.

Hahahahahaha.

That's autocorrect for a mumsnetter.

Pag seriously STAY THE FUCK AWAY from modern technolgy

Although not particularly religious, I have just been to the amazing Advent service at Rochester cathedral.

You can enjoy the spectacle and the beautiful music and appreciate the story and get behind the notion of Christmas without being religious, and I can tell you its started my festive season in a rather thought provoking manner.

Oh please please please can we henceforth refer only to Geraldine the Lucky Goat?

EduStudent OK!

Erm ... I take it you have not seen the ' homemade Christmas ' thread then , which is very active and strong .

Geraldinetheluckygoat has been mentioned in a couple of emails i have sent. I don't even know her.'ffs

Honeydragon. Wise words. I shall heed them.

You know the goats have all gone? There were some left but they were faulty and had to go back to the goat factory.

The commercial aspect of Christmas is so disrespectful to the little baby Jesus. I'm only getting DCs a helicopter, a swimming pool and free reign in the Co-op for 1 hour. Whatever's in the trolley after an hour they get to keep.

They'll get nothing else until Boxing Day.

I thought geraldine would be lucky. You know, what with her being a lucky goat.

OP:

'Hi everyone, I'm new here, you're all a bunch of fuckwits aren't you, who are going to hate what I have to say. So, Bye!'

Did I miss something?

Well, she's lucky in the sense that she's a goat. Beyond that I think you may have been told a mis truth.

The mind boggles
..... AHEM ....."I peanut, like christmas shopping and buying lovely gifts for my loved ones"
Does that make me bad?

Peanut! How very dare you have a sofa! You capitalist sofa owning whore!

I am now using this ,,,,,,,,, punctuation and DISCUSS as a handy crap-o-meter. It's been faultless so far.

I had blotting paper in my exams.

..just saying.

I use ... all the time. It's an addiction I cannot break.

A bit like my blatant materialism.

I did buy my DS a playmobil advent set in the sale yesterday, and generously splashed out for the additional 3 kings set. So even though we are a fairly secular household, I feel DS will fully get the message through the power of god's finest plastic.

It's what Jesus would have wanted.

Ahem, I personally don't drink wine, I see it as a gluttonous self indulgence to partake of alcohol outside times of celebration, where I'll enjoy a small glass twice a year. I prefer to save the money others spend on alcohol and splash it on some well deserved plastic shite meaningful gifts.

I live in Dubai.. There was a headless goat washed up on the beach last weekend

( not so lucky but possible sacrificed due to being a capitalist hoor goat)

No kinky the ...... is fine. The commas ,,,,, is weird and appears to be a signpost to loopy threads atm.

,,,

I find myself a little appalled by that.

I am now going to use your crap-o-meter SuePurbly .
