Merry Christmas

Here you can talk about the joy owning a Volvo 480 brings. Non-technical discussions take place here, like what is the difference between an ES and a S version.

Everyone gets so mad with me about my humbug-ness attitude towards christmas, I think this is only fueled on by the fact that I used to love watching grumpy old men and I agreed with too much with what they had to say...

All these 'holidays' become too materialistic and commercialed for my liking.

But I don't want to piss on other peoples parade if they want to go over the top...
