Please fill in our quick Christmas poll

'Tis the season to be jolly - allegedly. But does the potent mix of families and enforced 'fun' trigger festive flashpoints? Our slightly random poll goes from the sublime (the true meaning of Christmas?) to the ridiculous (Christmas at home versus Christmas on a sun-drenched beach?) only takes a few minutes and you'll automatically be entered into this week's competitions. Thank you in advance

Agree with TinyTim. I want christmas on some snow covered mountain with a roaring fire in a boutique chalet filled with friends. Beaches are not christmassy at all.

WellOiledWench · 12/12/2008 18:17

I've done it, but I wish there was an option for wanting to hole myself up somewhere with my friend and leave dh and the kids to it

psychohohohoho · 12/12/2008 18:30

done.......now can I win something please

KatyMac · 12/12/2008 18:34

I object to question 7
I neither love my child more or less at this time of year

So I refused to answer

MistleSQUONKandWine · 12/12/2008 19:21

I agree with Katymac about question 7 (but I did answer coz I didn't want my lack of response to count against me on the competition winning front )

and question 10 - I put what time dp lets me go round and wake them all up shouting "He's BEEN!!!!" If I let them sleep in, they probably wouldn't bother getting out of bed at all!

SantaGotStuckUpThePelvicfloor · 12/12/2008 20:31

BouncingTinsel · 13/12/2008 07:19

Well I object to the question about do your kids know the meaning of Christmas - there should have been a "too young" option on that question.

I can here the peeps of MN towers banging their heads on their desks now...

dollyk · 13/12/2008 09:04

Done

FlamesparodyOfAChristmasName · 13/12/2008 09:55

I wanna know what Q2 was!!!

"True meaning of Christmas" though - I assumed that was whatever YOU feel is the true meaning?

Oh an dI answered 7 but it was a crappy question.
