Particularly when they have small children. They are the ones who put the magic in it for the children, and it becomes a habit that's hard to break. The men leave them to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Nan, Mam and Aunts all of my life have always made sure we all had a great Xmas thats what they do, Weddings, Funerals ect, the Women take full control thank God, IMO, if it was left to blokes I'm afraid the vast majority wouldn't be able to fit organising all the special occasions mentioned into their busy boozing schedule.

Speak for yourself, not for me or the blokes I know. You must have a weird circle of friends. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they made a film about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bungleboy69 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I'd be more than happy to forget everything around Christmas and Birthdays. I don't need any gifts or bottles of booze or clothes. If I do, I buy for myself as and when. I don't like cards as see them as a waste of paper and an expensive stamp. I can cope with a few days away somewhere but I'd do that anytime, not just when it's a birthday. If its for kids I can understand it, but I've never had kids so luckily escaped that too.
