Advent begins!

Elfilis

It’s that time of year again! Advent has begun! Christmas is coming, the decorations and lights are all thinking away and everything has gone all cozy! 

Anyone else excited for Christmas? What’s on your Christmas list? How will you spend Christmas? 

For me I get a little mini Christmas as my birthday is during advent so when I get my presents I put them under the tree as well.

  • I’m afraid I’m going zap the joy on this thread because I’m dreading Christmas.

    All the hype, lights, noise and shopping madness crashes down on Christmas Day. Afterwards, shops look sad and tired. SALE goods are bundled in all sorts of odd places and everyday shopping is a nightmare because the shelves are devoid of necessary products, at least they are where I live.   

    I will be spending Christmas on my own with my two dogs. A nice walk in the morning, followed by a quiet time reading or researching some of my interests will OK. I might watch some TV later, but I will avoid watching anything that is likely to mention ‘the best Christmas ever!’ or ‘ Christmas is for families’. A glass or two of sparkling wine, and a good drama will be as good as it gets.

    Aww if it helps I’m also spending Christmas alone! Tbh I actually enjoy it in my flat more than when I was at home with my parents as my nan is normally always around as well as she is so needy so I never mix with anyone, plus I get such overwhelming anxiety! Also got bullied by neighbours so that didn’t help! What I’m saying is I practically always spent my Christmas alone but in an awful environment so now I’m away I can do what I want when I want. 

    I get what you mean about the shops, the sales are great but you’re lucky to get anything. 

    Im still undecided if I should take my decs down before new year or on like the 6 Jan or whatever.

    And it doesn't need to be any better than that!! 

    It sounds very appealing to me.
