"It's the most horrible time of the year" I sing this every year. Lol. Christmas is the worst. A horrible nightmare that lasts too long and gets too much hype.
I saw in a shop today they're already selling Christmas sweets, calendars and I saw an advert on TV and it's not even been Halloween yet! But it begs the question...
What are you doing this Christmas?
Undoubtedly I'll have family over. The lights will be too bright. I'll be forced to socialise. And I'll have to go to the Christmas work party. December is a long old month. I hate it. Please someone shoot me with a sleeping dart and let me sleep through it.
I'll be at work at the hospital. It's more less like an ordinary day even at Christmas, sometimes I hear Christmas music on the radio but in the mortuary it's just me and the deceased.Christmas doesn't happen here.
Outside of work I celebrate it - Christmas means life, joy, love and faith. It brings out the best in people, especially in children. I love seeing people carol sing. I love watching Christmas films with my wife and daughter. I love listening to my Christmas carols CD, sat by the fire on Christmas Eve.
It is heavily commercialized these days but I see past that and see the joy and happiness it brings. That to me, makes it the most wonderful time of the year.
...ever the apologist = I didn't mean to imply that you weren't normal for liking Christmas in my recent response to Ann other below.
I do find your way of thinking on this matter admirably positive.
Happy Sunday
