Its got to be Christmas for me and mine, they are far more important to me than Brexit.

If you think Brexit is for another 3 months I think you’ll be disappointed. I read somewhere that it will be causing issues for at least 15 years!

The practicalities of Christmas, I suppose, but I do follow the political farce on television. It would be quite amusing if it weren’t so tragic.

Surely something will prevent Brexit or at least modify it? I may be dead by the time the effects of Brexit show much, but my children and grandchildren probably won’t be. I am permanently furious with those who voted for it.

Oh Christmas, definitely.So much to do at this time of year,
Which is probably a blessing!

Definitely Christmas , family and friends. I am so sick of Brexit and self centred politicians.
I do have niggling worries though about what will happen to us (we) expats.

I agree with you Trisher. Christmas will be over and done with 2 weeks from now. Brexit is for at least another 3 months.
Unless someone has the nous to cancel Article 50 first to stop the panic

Can't be bothered with Christmas with the Country in Crisis.
My small act of rebellion is not to send cards to those I know voted for Brexit. That'll show 'em.

Family/Christmas - how will they cope with it this year?

Sod Brexit for the moment - lets just get out.

Christmas. I know how important it is, but I can't bear hearing about it any more. I'm regularly driven from my own sitting room, since dh is addicted to endlessly hearing every last detail on TV or R4 news.

I don't mind admitting that I told dinner guests last Friday - after someone mentioned the B-word - that for the sake of the hot-stove-slaving cook (me) this house was a Brexit-free zone for the evening.

We won't newnanny, that was never going to happen.

Sadly Brexit. I know Xmas will arrive but not too sure we will ever get the Brexit we were promised.

trisher Tue 11-Dec-18 11:13:05

Christmas I know it is going to happen but Brexit might not (I live in hope!)

Mapleleaf Tue 11-Dec-18 10:34:40

I'm with Lynne58 on this too. Sick to death of Brexit!

kittylester Tue 11-Dec-18 10:34:27

Or something else? Lots of people on here have bigger worries rhan either Brexit or Christmas.

M0nica Tue 11-Dec-18 10:34:02

Christmas

EllanVannin Tue 11-Dec-18 10:25:08

Christmas------for a change. We need a break from Brexit until at least Boxing Day !

GrannyGravy13 Tue 11-Dec-18 10:14:22

Definitely Christmas, our political elite are in it for themselves, therefore, I am doing things for myself and family
????????????????

Christmas. I'm with Lynne59 on this.

Lynne59 Tue 11-Dec-18 10:12:25

We are all powerless to do anything about Brexit. What's the point in thinking too much about it?

Nonnie Tue 11-Dec-18 10:10:46

Brexit. I can control and organise Christmas but feel helpless to influence Brexit.

Lynne59 Tue 11-Dec-18 09:53:14

Christmas - not that I absolutely love it, but simply that with Brexit, we have no say in what happens. I'm sick to death of hearing about it. It's been dragging on for 2 years too long already.

Gonegirl Tue 11-Dec-18 09:42:45

I think Brexit might be taking first place with me. shock Don't know if it's the "what the heck happens now?" kind of thing, or a "getting away from the Xmas stress" thing.

I've found it a bit boring up until now, but the excitement is kicking in.
