Boxing day 2022

Hello

Today plan is to do some of my jigsaw puzzle. Also reading, puzzle books and colouring. Maybe journaling instead of Twitter. 

Need to write a letter to the samaritans. 

Only shop is open is Coop which have only what's left over as no delivery. 

Reducing the amount of spending on Instagram and pinterest. 

Sleepymiss writing to my pen friend. A nearly ago I've stopped writing to one. Absolutely a shame. Sending gifts and money did trigger anxiety.

  • We just don't do Christmas at all we just try to get thru it with as little stress as possible as rest of world goes into crazy overdrive..we just don't do it..we don't send cards I don't say happy Christmas to people on the street etc.not because we miserable but because tbh if we did get into the whole thing we'd bothe be nervous wrecks and what for? So some corporation can sell some more toys  etc etc.

  • I agree with this from my 30 years in supermarket retailing, as people miss the whole point of what Christmas is all about - since Covid, I’ve really focused on the religious aspects of Christmas and it’s true purpose and it would appear that I’m not alone in this, as Catholic Church Mass Attendance figures in Ireland have really went up for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Masses all over Ireland according to reports from Parish Priests this year - I’ve noticed that this year people are really tired of the over commercialised nonsense that had crept in around Christmas in recent years and this was especially true during Covid and during 2021
