Would you celebrate Christmas every day?

[Euan Buchan]

There's this guy in England who celebrates Christmas every single day of the year keeps his decorations up, tree and wears a Santa suit he opens presents every day and wraps them up again and has a Turkey. Would you ever do it? I wouldn't mind but it feel abit strange in the hot Summer though cheesy

[Annette1990]

I wouldn't everyday...as with everything it would get old. To me once a year is good. It makes you more excited about everything that is yet to come. So I feel you enjoy it more.

[caseydbell]

NO! I love Christmas, however doing it everyday would take away the love. Im here because wee keep the spirit alive 365, and thats the point. Around October I, like others start getting excited about Christmas, October we build up 2 Christmas. November some of us talk about how weve already decorated, plans, TGiving, & More. December we discuss what were doing all month. I believe this site provides all us w/a good Christmas balance. Even though were in & out all yaer. There are times during the year Jan-Sept. where I have Christmas spirit spurts where I'm in everyday for a week or two, but other than that maybe on-two times every other week. Then when October gets here Im full swing as on the 7th we hit the 90% mark. Well those are my thoughts on the subject. Agree or disagree, other thoughts?

[Billy Battles]

I wouldn't either. Like many others have said it would lose something if I did. I think thats why I come here so often it gives me a little fix of Christmas without diluting it.

Although I reminisce about Christmas, and I'm always planning for my next Christmas, I would not want to celebrate it everyday.

There are time during the year when I may want to listen to some Christmas music, and I play it low so my neighbor won't think I'm cookoo. But to actually celebrate Christmas and go through all the rituals 24/7 365 days would diminish the special Christmas magic, and it would certainly take away from the transforming effect Christmas has on people.

Christmas is like a cacoon that embraces us with warmth, love, cheer and good feelings. For a few weeks in the year, we get a respite from the stresses, and problems of everyday living

[snowangel_x3]

I've heard about that guy!

But I'd have to agree with Seasun.
Plus, it would get quite expensive. :P

[sugarplum fairy]

Nope! I would like to put up my tree a little earlier than I do and take it down a little later (Hubby would have a fit), but I would not want to celebrate it all year. The anticipation and planning is part of the excitement of it all.

[Euan Buchan]

I supose if I want to be in a place I can go to the Christmas Shop

[ChristmasSpirit76]

I wouldn't only because it wouldn't feel so special when it really came around. I love keepin a part of it through the year as i listen to xmas music now and then or watching a christmas show or movie, looking at old xmas cards etc.

Did anyone ever see that movie that plays on tbs??? about the boy who wishes for xmas every day and how in the end he doesn't want it. It shows him every morning waking up to the same xmas song and i think its snowing outside. Its kinda funny
:treeguy:

Well said, the cacoon analogy fits perfectly.

[MikeClaus]

No, I dont think I would.
I mean, as a kid I used to think about it although never did. But now I can realize, like you guys said, it wouldnt work. It wouuld get old and take the specialness out of it. I like it how it is now and to get a s much christmas spirit as I need, I start the season in october:)

[Head Elf]

I would like to think that I keep the spirit of christmas going all year around. The little gifts of kindness would be enough for me to continue to the big day.

[Maureen]

One of the biggest joys, if not THE biggest, is celebrating Christmas with my family and friends. I know, beyond all shadow of a doubt, that however much they love me, I would be bundled up into a little white jacket and placed somewhere I couldn't decorate as I wouldn't be allowed near anything with sharp edges!!!!

Does this guy do all this by himself or DOES he share it with somebody???

[clarebear]

No way! i would most probably end up hating it, i remember seeing that guy on tv, eating turkey dinners everyday lol.

[JanaBanana]

Is there a link on this man's story? Would love to read about it..

I adore Christmas, but could never celebrate it everyday... thats the excitement of Christmas is the anticipation of its arrival, and if I were to celebrate it daily it wouldnt be the same.

[megarrick]

Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ and I already celebrate that everyday!!!

[clarebear]

Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ and I already celebrate that everyday!!!

Aaww thats sweet :)

[JayIsh]

I don't think I'd celebrate it everyday...I would like to have one room in my house decorated all year long so that I could just stop in from time to time and enjoy the feeling that the decorations give...I listen to Christmas music all year long so I guess in some way I celebrate Christmas everyday but the presents and the turkey everyday? I don't think I could do that...

[haagarr]

I celebrate Christmas everday in my heart. Although I do not eat turkey everday.

[haagarr]

As for gifts I celebrate the gift of life.

[SnowMaiden1018]

Hmm, WHile I can honestly say I wouldnt go to the extremes that guy does, I will say that I celebrate Christmas everyday, whether it be with some christmas carols, or some hot cocoa, maybe a marshmallow snowman, or perhaps a wee bit of tinsel hung over the door--But I think everyone should do it!
What better way to remember the feelings, the generosity, the merriment and the closeness we experience at that time of year?!!

[MerrySouthernChristmas]

Everyday would just be toooooo much. If you're like me, then you have a ginormous feast on christmas, which takes days to prepare, and if you had it everyday, then you couldn't do that, and i'd probobly gain 5,000,000 lbs... lol

[Sunshine73]

No. As much as I love Christmas, I especially love the build up to the day...I would miss out on that if I were celebrating every day.

[Christmasstar]

once a month is plenty! LOL

really, though, I would leave it as it is. Christmas is special, a time of year I look forward to with great joy and anticipation. Having it more often would make it as humdrum as working on assembly line doing the same thing every day till you no longer even have to think to do it. And think of the credit card bills, Yike!!

:elf:

[novelist]

:dance:I LOVE Christmas, but I wouldn't want to celebrate it every day. It wouldn't be any fun if thats how it was.

[Miss Darcy]

As much as I love Christmas I don't think I would want to celebrate it eveyday. Once a month or every other month would be quite cool though:elf:.

[trackrebel]

I wouldn´t want it to be everyday....it wouldn´t be special anymore....of course that was different when I was a child...but since Ím bout 10....I like it how it is....:D

one thing about this guy celebrating Christmas everyday...I mean...alright, if that´s his way, fine with me, but to me...it sounds he tries to force the Christmas spirit on himself....which is impossible to me...of course I have that little Christmas mood over the last few days....but that´s nothing compared to walking through street in the cold, watching the decorated windows, smell the candles, hot wine (glühwein....very popular in Germany), see the trees, hear the songs and see the movies....only 5-6weeks a year...and that´s cool with me

[SparkleNana]

:family: This is a great thread!!! Well -- I think we should invite that guy to join us here! Just think -- if his love of Christmas could be freed up to other expressions, he would probably be full of wonderful ideas! And it might be a relief for him to celebrate with us, rather than having to have that same turkey dinner every day.

[irishsnow]

I totally agree Sunshine
