Germaine Greer doesn't approve of Santa. Way to take the magic out of Christmas. No matter your religious persuasion, if you celebrate Christmas and tell your children there is no Santa, then there is something deeply malicious about you. Lying to children is wrong; allowing a little magic into their lives whilst they are still young enough to enjoy it is not. Can anyone honestly say they would have preferred not to have experience the 'lie' of Santa. Oh dear Germaine... *sighs*

[DDay12G]

If I ever have kids I don't think I'm going to be one of those parents who splurges EVERYTHING on presents for their kids. A few, but not tonnes.. Otherwise you get kids like my sister who expect everything..

[MsFanmail]

Food shopping is a nightmare

[heroehat]

"The 12 months of Christmas!"LOL

[DostankoDasha]

From 4:22 Maureen Lipman comments "and we don't have the backing of being Orthodox". Well Orthodox Jews are the patient ones and they believe that their 'promised land' will be delivered to them when their Messiah comes. It was Rothschild who was impatient and could not wait and he encouraged Moses Hess to bring about reformed Judaism which enabled them to seize the land off the Palestinians years later. Maureen Lipman is right. Reformed Judaism is Zionism & Zionists do not back the Orthodox.

[Digdigs2]

Greer has the right idea! Ban 'Santa', the coke-addled concoction of a large beverage corporation.

[SnappyPenguins]

I remember in January last year when I'd just finished taking down my decorations, went up to the Co-op to get some food for dinner, and they had a poster up asking me to start saving for Christmas 2010! Fuck off! I've just returned to normality, and you're asking me to save for Christmas! Where is the logic?

[sam8110]

Jesus christ i would not like to be her daughter, no santa claus? no turkey?

[ASHEKEH]

I think it's worse to tell kids that there's no Father Christmas, and that they're the ones who're actually getting the presents. It ruins the whole magic of it in my opinion! I used to love the idea that some jolly guy would fly his sleigh to my house and come down our chimney to bring me presents and the whole leaving the mince pie and carrot out for him and the reindeer! Loved it and it's great now, because my little sister is just getting to that age were she's getting excited! Great :)

[ASHEKEH]

I remember the Christmas Crazes in the 90's when I was growing up! Furbies, Tamagotchi's, Cabbage Patch Dolls, Power Rangers, Playstation etc....Me and my brother drove my parent's to madness virtually every Christmas! We used to stay with my Great-Grandad in the couple of days leading upto Christmas, just so they could go out at 4am to box their way through toy shops' then come home and have a bit of peace!

[101AngelatHeart]

i love christmas i just hate shopping

[Se1ander]

Fuck the ones abroad.

You're not in the country, you won't get a present from me. 

[TheZippykid]

CRAP AT Y

[madeyemama]

So confused as to why they are considered "old"...

[ASHEKEH]

@madeyemama Being called a grumpy old ..... whatever is just an old saying. If you moan a lot.

[suzannesadiiqa]

Christmas bliss is a couple of books a good supply of gin a selection of good walks with a dog and an isolated cottage sans telephone or TV, HUSBAND OPTIONAL!

[pepperminttea42]

There is nothing right and honourable about Ann Widdecombe.

[maqru1]

Christmas time ? This is the time when I wish to be way from people.

The shopping, the mad rush people going whild everywhere . This is a receipe

for a heart attck. Who need Christmas.?

[EvilgidgitReturns]

I remember there being crazes in the 1990s and early 2000s since I was a kid then. There was Pokemon, Power Rangers, Furbies, Barbie, Disney, Spongebob. Are there any crazes nowadays?

[yerkiddinright]

Although Jane Moore writes for The Sun, I still wouldn't kick her out of bed.

[MsFanmail]

you should mow people down at the supermarket.

[MsFanmail]

I find this programme rings true with a lot of people........

[Eddy2730]

Buying presents? Even I've got that knack!

[Lily55xx]

I'm 18 and most of this stuff rings true with me :D

[donegallad91]

@Steveoqotsa Great work. Any chance of uploading Grumpy Old Men at Christmas and Grumpy Guide to Christmas? Can't seem to find either anywhere.

[Rachie2k9]

[johncharnley1]

[blesington1]

[TheEmperorhirohito]

Turkey is nice in curry and sandwiches

[Dristarg]

2:16 "Military campaigns would be easier" (than Christmas).

She should have added: "And far less likely to end in bloodshed."

[warwolf193]

hilarious

[KittyXxXrAWWR]

Im 14 and I really get this :L lmao, sad :') xx

[TheLeisurePirate]

This comment is sooooooo gonna conflict with the point of the video, but I'll say it anyway...: FURBIES, YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY­!!!!!!

[EvilgidgitReturns]

To knowledge I've only really lived through one major craze and that was Pokemon.

[metallord999]

People forget the who idea of Christmas which is to celebrate the life's work of Morecambe and Wise

[nicghillian]

@metallord999 May their works be forever praised.

[birdie399]

This year we cancelled Christmas. Instead of buying presents for my family , who don`t give a thought about what they buy for others. Spoilt children who have so much, they open presents and then basically say, what`s next?" We donated items to underpriviledged families.

[romeosdistress]

good for you ! that's really quite a beautiful idea, now I've moved out of my parents' for uni, I may start doing that

[emjems666]

ahaha, "did you get that letter?" (:

[InnuendoXP]

ahahahahahaha!!!! ohhh man... a laptop for a christmas present.. my parents paid for HALF of an xbox360 for an 18th birthday present... so this is a bit of a generalisation.. though some parents spoil their kids rotten with a brand fucking new CAR for their 16TH birthday!... probably pay their way through university too. But most parents i know will promptly tell their kids to get a job if they want a new laptop. As kids getting jobs is also becoming the norm.

less generalisations please? =p

[emjems666]

i had to work for my laptop lol xoxo

[InnuendoXP]

lol, great. you will have a good life ^,^

[InnuendoXP]

lol, i'm a guy, but my mum's disabled so me and my dad do the prep work.. 40+ degree heat.. anyone who suggests the idea of cooking a turkey is promptly thrown out the door for 5 minutes to think about what they've said =p

[wolfheart4000]

We should be nice to people all year round not just at christmas and telling thier kids lies about santa claus balls.

[vandexter101]

thats true turkey really is nasty

[pringlewrangler]

Germaine Greer is a fascist, she gives feminism a bad name. I'm so glad she fucked off to the UK, you brits can keep her!

[BeatleFanVD]

germanie greer is such a philostine.. Father Christmas... lying to kids, makes me want to grumble about her not agree with her!!

[SPAG22]

True if we're going to nit pick the whole thing is a lie so Father Christmas should be allowed.

[amy18light]

agreed.

[tundegbadamosi]

i love this program! so much jokes..

[WarningDontReadThis]
