Merry Christmas everybody. 1st chance I've had to log on, had a great day with a big fat dinner and loads of pudding. Looking forward to racing in the morning and burning some of it off.
Evening campers, hope y'all had a good one! :)

Yes, I did have a merry Christmas, thank you -- but not so merry that I couldn't get out running this Boxing Day morning.
Yes, a merry old time. But Lurgy has prevented any running activity...I can feel the midriff streeeeetching!
Yes, I've had quite a 'runny'Christmas. Bowland Christmas Tree Run on the 17th, weekly interval session on the 18th, usual club headtorcher at Beacon Fell on the 19th, Winter solstice fireworks run on the 21st, Park Run on 23rd, Park Run on 25th, took two of the grandsons to the Bowland FR Boxing Day trot out, L&MAC Festive 4km Fun Run with daughter & grandchildren on 27th, Park Run this morning and hopefully same again on New Year's day.Quote:

Just returned from picking up this years Christmas Tree from a farmer friend.
But before I went I had to get the tape measure out to measure the height of the ceiling. This happens every year. Does anyone else have to take this measurement annually?
It won't happen next year as I've written it in pencil on the skirting board behind the curtains!
Merry Christmas.

Our ceilings are quite low. I just have to put my hand flat in the air and that's about right. On the downside we keep banging our heads when we go through doors. On the upside, Christmas trees are cheaper. :)
Am I the only resident scrooge who doesn't like Christmas one bit (expect for 2 and a half weeks off work!)
Up until I was 48 I was in your boat Trav's but then my son came along. For the past 13yrs I have had to put up with it through gritted teeth!Quote:

We reserved our tree at the growers a couple of weeks ago. Off to pick it up tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully it's less than 8 feet or the secateurs are coming out.
Nope I have no interest in the commercial aspects of Christmas, but love the peace and quite on the hills over the 25th and the early hrs of the 26th before the madding hung over/overweight crowds emerge
I enjoy Christmas Day; we have a family gathering, with about 10 of us, although at one time we could have anything up to 25 extended family members. What I don't like is the stress of all the preparations, buying presents, sending cards, etc. September to mid-December is always the busiest time of year at work for (and it's been more manic than usual this year), and when that's over I just want to flop down.
Mad Friday, Christmas day and Boxing day would do me.
Rather have time off in the summer.
Well I have to admit to feeling quite Christmassy - must be going soft in my old age! Just tucking into a mince pie after getting back from the Birmingham University Carol service. I'm not a religious person by all means but the service delivered by the multi faith chaplaincy, is very inspiring and this year's chosen homeless charity a very worthy cause and one close to my heart.
I normally put Xmas dinner or for my three kids, their partners and the grandkids but at least one will have their first Xmas at home this year, and I did ask my parents if they wanted to stand in, but they'd been booked by my brother.
So I might have a slightly quitter Xmas day this year with less than double figures round.
Overall I do enjoy Xmas. Great for the kids and we had our three growing up, then we had several years with foster kids and now we have the grandchildren.
Not sure how it will be if we end up at a Xmas with none of the youngsters around.
We stop going out at this time of year, because we avoid anywhere that sells Christmas trees, and all the commercial tat! Which is pretty much everywhere.
Our Christmas tree is plastic was bought in 1980, and may be threadbare but is still doing fine, after a few repairs! We grudgingly replaced our bulb lights with( cheap) leds about 3 years ago when even eBay stopped selling spares.
We return to garden centres in 2nd week jan. When they put it all away,
To me - the saddest gits of all, are those buying Christmas stuff cheap in the new year!! Who does that?
Bah humbug.
I must admit to stocking up on xmas presents throughout the year for family... I certainly wouldn't make a dedicated trip out in February, but if I'm out and about and spot something, then i'll buy it and keep it stored away.
Usually forget what I've bought throughout the year and then have to raid the cupboard around this time of year to see what's left that I need to buy...!
