It's nearly Christmas and I've read a few things that most of us dislike about Christmas...loads of people in busy shops and towns...bright lights...loud music and for me the worst is the visiting relatives. I love all my relatives but at Christmas it's so much going on and so much to process I can't cope with them. There's so much happening at Christmas time it's a lot to process and deal with and it lasts such a long time. We're going Christmas shopping next weekend *gulp* so I've got to try and prepare myself for this.
But the point of this thread isn't to look at the negatives it's to look at the positives...the things we DO like about Christmas...
What do you like about Christmas?
I'm a big music fan and I love Christmas music, when it's played quietly OC. One of my favourite things is sitting by the Christmas tree, my earphones in, listening to Christmas music.
I also love to watch Christmas films. I like being in my bed, snuggled up under my duvet with my bears watching my fave Christmas films.
Other than that there's not really a lot I like about Christmas lololol
I like the the simple Ideas that underpin Christmas.
And the complicated ones too.
Peace and Goodwill to all men.
In practice:
I have my excel spreadsheet I wrote a few years back. It has a place to enter total budget, a list of names, a column where I can enter how much I love that person this year, and it allocates me a "spend" for everyone.
As the list of people who I want to buy things for has fallen, as has my budget, I do it in my head now...
All you have to do to make Christmas nice, is everything that everyone around you wants doing.
