Which bits of Christmas are you not fussed about?

[Invasionofthegutsnatchers]

For me it's:

Christmas eve box
Advebt calendars
December 1st box
Breakfast with Santa
Crackers
Pantomime (love musical theatre though)
Bread sauce
Christmas pudding and cake. Love a yule log!

Advent argh

Don’t do Christmas Eve or Dec boxes and bread sauce isn’t really a thing in Ireland. Also I’ve never heard of breakfast with Santa.

Trying to think what I’m not fussed about but it’s hard! Brandy butter is all I can come up with but I’m sure other people’s list will resonate with me.

Well, adult DC here and living abroad.
Easier to say the bits that I am fussed with.

When did December 1st box and breakfast with Santa become a thing?? I missed that memo.

Obviously those two things are at the top of my list! . I also don't do Christmas Eve boxes (are they in place of stockings?), bread sauce or brandy anything (but especially butter).

I do love a big ol' glittery Advent Calendar though (for me- my boys are heathens and like chocolate ones).

Most of it. It’s nice and all but……. We’re going to Miami this year for a road trip.

All of it
I don't do it
It's just another day for me

all of it

as long as we sit down on time to watch Die Hard on Christmas Eve and nobody is ill or needs A&E I'm happy

What’s a December 1st box?

Since you asked - I don't like any of it. Would be quite happy to ignore the whole thing

I'm not fussed about crackers, party poppers, tins of crappy chocolates...

Also not a fan of naff Christmas markets, it's a lovely thing in Germany, less so in my local town!

I can pass on office parties too and the need to 'fit everyone in' - I loved the quiet of last Christmas.

Blue lights, ick.

Elf on the shelf.

Over the top Santa experiences. In fact Santa, he should be Father Christmas!

MIL buying too much small plastic crap for DC which largely ends up in landfill.

Christmas dinner

Chocolate, Turkey and anything with mincemeat or currents and dried fruit.

Not fussed about all the extra trimmings and sauces, as long as I have turkey, roasties, veg and gravy I’m happy.
Crackers - lots of plastic tat
Party food
I’m actually not all that fussed about presents, apart from those for DS, although I do like a good beauty advent calendar
The Queens Speech

The glorified roast dinner , last year we have some M&S party food and doing same this year

No Christmas cake
Mince pies

Bread sauce
Red cabbage
Brandy butter
Christmas pudding
Christmas Eve boxes
1 December boxes
Santa breakfast

Blue and cold white Christmas lights
Flashing Christmas lights

Elf on the shelf
Those bird in a bird in a bird roast things
For the sake of it "gift sets" of stuff people probably don't want.
Plastic crap

Otherwise I mostly love it especially while DC little

Absolutely all of it - can we just skip December & go straight to January?

No to Christmas cake, stollen and Christmas pudding. I could be less bothered about the turkey, but we're hosting DH's lot this year and apparently "it isn't Christmas without a turkey" 🙄

Elf on a shelf can get tae fuck.

Panto.

Christmas markets
Office parties, very much prefer just being at home and not socialising
Secret bloody Santa

Agree with panto- it makes me cringe even though I do like musical theatre like you OP! I always get grandparents or DD’s dad (we’re divorced to take her!)

I had never previously been fussed on Christmas Eve boxes but I have got them for the first time this year- DD is 7yo and I have baby DD who is 8mo will be her first Christmas, so I’m giving it a go!

I’m a vegetarian and don’t like roast dinner, even veggie roast dinner, don’t like gravy etc so not fussed about the dinner. Prefer to load up on party/buffet type food- cheeseboard etc.

I have never had bread sauce. It sounds awful and I'm not fussy. I eat anything.
I think Christmas lunch is the best lunch ever.
I've never bought or made Christmas cake.

Not fussed for Christmas dinner, prefer turkey when it’s cold, don’t like stuffing and not fussed for pigs in blankets
I will be making Christmas pudding and cake next week
I’ll cook turkey on Christmas Eve and have that with pork pie, nice chutney, dips salad and crusty bread. Christmas Day I’m cooking curry
