I love the build up to Christmas but by Christmas eve it's almost over, so for me it has to be Chelters eve, just about to start the best 4 days of the year, nothing like it really
 
Cheltenham for me even thogh it upsets the family.
 
The only thing I'm usually anticipating on Xmas day is a hangover, but with Cheltenham there is a shot that I'll come out the other side with some cash!

When the buzz starts for me. Cant wait now. Friday before always night at pub talking about what all horses we have backed. Anyone else buzzing now : )
 
Really can't wait now, love reading all the preview nights and taking the Cheltenham Betting Guide to read in bed each night.

It's the Monday night before the Festival kicks off that makes it feel like Christmas Eve as a child, all dreams in tact and ready for a great four days.
 
I can't wait now either.

I love the week before though, when all the mist starts to clear and an accurate picture of what the races are going to shape up like begins to form but I'm stuffed this year as I have to go to the US for a conference :sorrow:
 
Aww lads I cant sleep properly now, totally feeling excited, nervous and running thru all the races in my head:o.For me this is longest two wks of my life ha, I'm not the easiest to live with at the moment as my brain aint taking in anything other than all all things Chelt related, wouldnt have it any other way, bring it on, c'mon:D:
 
Two weeks from now will just be passing through the Pearly Gates after a few Guinness in the town.

It's going to be a long two weeks and a bit of a nervous one hoping all ante-post selections left standing make it to post safely.

Just like a kid a Christmas, i'll never grow out of this one :)

You have to savour the build up coz the actual event is over too damn quick
