Christmas means no work, shopping atmosphere, and family gatherings which I usually try to avoid ;) And I like vasilopita also :P

A few days rest from work , seeing children lapping it up , welcoming Father Xmas , exchanging gifts and wishes , indulging in adult pleasurable activities such as a good bottle of wine , a family gathering and lots more wine ! We are having a good time aren't we ??

Nor do I, but it's one of the few occasions during the year when I really do have an excuse. Rest of the year I don't really care!!

ps - I voted for the 2 days off work!
