Are you all ready for Christmas?

[Lou]

Hey guys,

Merry Christmas (maybe too early? - I've seen hundreds of trees up so maybe not lol) from me and Dan, and on behalf of the staff, who I can't thank enough for being awesome and covering on all the forums for the past year or so. We've had a lot going on, and it's still going on. So thanks for that.

Are you guys all done for xmas? You getting all the calls from customers wanting things finished for xmas? You got all your xmas prezzies? (or shop xmas eve like us?

Here's to a brilliant Xmas and a wonderful new year.

The Gift of Death

What a pity that the birth of Christ (if you believe in it) and the celebration of the winter solstice has degenerated into a compulsive need to 'get ready' by buying a load of rubbish that won't make us happy.

On a personal note, I lament the commercial drive to make people panic (apparently Christmas shooping was traditionally carried out on Christmas Eve) and I see no need to put up decorations before the 24th December nor to remove these decorations before Twelfth Night (5th January) has passed.

Why the need for ridiculous amounts of consumption? Ignore the environmental impact and we still have to work flat out to make this level of consumption possible. Pity the shopworker who has so much work to do on wages that are a national living disgrace, and the plumber who needs to fit in jobs before Christmas because that's when everyone wants things done by.

The treadmill of happiness:

work more-->spend more (to compensate for having to work more)-->earn more and keep going round - happiness is just around the corner!

What is wrong with just having a couple of days off and spending a day with friends or family without this counterproductive drive to make it a success?

Merry Christmas guys x

Humbug to you too mate

 

[BYP]

The decorations seem to go up earlier and earlier each year.

 

[Welder]

Our tree went up yesterday
Place we bought it from was packed. Guess people are fed up with the constant negativity and the sh1te that is called Brexit...

 

[Ric2013]

Humbug? No, I look forward to decorating the house and indeed will be sitting with some friends this Sunday to make some paper decorations, which can be used year in year out. I also look forward to a meal with friends and a day off on the 25th. I hope everyone has a great experience.

What I object to and do not enjoy is the associated hype.

So busy with life recently that I forgot (apologies) this place existed. Hope everyone is busy and still enjoying their important; if not always appreciated, role as a plumber/gas fitter etc.

Merry Christmas to you all, and to the general public who often seek expert advice from the proud tradesmen and women of UKPlumbersForums who so happily and freely give a moment of their time to help out.

Wish you all a good one for this year! Keefy.
