Please tell me that i am not the only one bored/sick of Christmas,writing cards, wrapping presents, can’t. I just want to shut the door on the 24th Dec and come out/open the door on the 2nnd Jan!, but for my 3yrold daughter i’m trying.
Anon If it’s any consolation I feel exactly the same, just can’t be arsed with it at all! I have my reason’s but I won’t bore you. xx
I think it can be very hard when you’re not well. So much to do! And socialising much more. I feel lucky that I’m older with no kids at home and live alone!
It’s like those ad’s on tv at the moment (morrison’s and asda I think) which show ‘mum’ doing it all. Well if you’re a mum with MS it’s a million times harder.
Ask others to help if you can and partner if you have one. I’m not having a go at men but it does seem like women bear the brunt of Xmas.

Hey I really agree here! It’s not that I don’t like Christmas, but as was said, it’s sooooo hard trying to be this super mum that you are suppost to be, my wee boy is 7 and so very, very hyped with everything!
I was wrapping pressies yesterday and had so much cog fog that I was really messing it up, wrong stuff parcelled together with wrong labels, making mistakes on the labels, i just couldn’t get it right and the slightest thing would totally throw me off, I felt so daft, just not a good day, will try again later today after I get back from the hospital.

Christmas doesn’t happen here! Live with atheist brother and don’t see a soul all over Christmas. Trying desperately to find programmes on telly or radio without “Christmas” every other word. And there’s a fortnight to go yet. Used to love it as a kid, but with MS ,no family and no religion, what’s it all about?
Hi anon. I totally understand how you feel. I really dislike xmas with a passion. I think working as a chef for 25 years had jaded it for me. Hate it hate it hate it!! We are now smack bang in our busiest time for parties, and that winds me up. People are more rude and obnoxious when at a xmas do as well…alchohol has a lot to do with it. That and showing off! I will be glad when New Year comes and it is all over. The worst time of the years for me! Xx
I dont like xmas either, i am always pleased when its over,i am not at all religious,so for me, its a waste of time and money, i go along with it,for the sake of my family.my other half makes fun of me and always says 'bah humbug 'to me,i liked it when my kids were little,but not any more.
Hi there, This year I really hate xmas, it’s been getting like this for the past couple of years but this year…oh god!! I forced myself to decorate today but I used to be someone who had at least 3 xmas trees around the house and most rooms decorated. This year I bought a tiny 3ft real tree in a pot which took hardly any decorations. I just chucked every other tree and decorations in the skip. I don’t know why I feel so awful about it this year, maybe it’s just a coincidence that I was diagnosed with ms this year, I really don’t know. I don’t think i’ll ever feel the same way about xmas again as it’s got so tedious and boring and over commercialised.
