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.

    Please don't dread it! Come on here and chat about anything - something frivolous. I just like the idea of huge numbers of people at home at the same time and find this strangely comforting. And it's a nice feeling if you give something to a local food bank, perhaps a couple of kid's selection boxes or something pretty for a mum or a pair of gloves for a dad. You can take part without taking part literally.
