Ok. Who else hates Christmas?

Pipedream:
Who else hates Christmas? We buy things we don’t need, we endure absurd music, we meet relatives we don't really want to see, and we try all too hard to fulfill a role that is expected of us (as a mother, at least). Miserably failing, of course. Sorry, but I could really do without those "holidays".  :P

I know someone like that...and it happens to be a person who has their birthday in December too!! I wonder if there's any connection?  8) Anyway, so nice to see you here, Anke!! I'm sure your little ones appreciate the effort you go to to make the season happy for them.

Kelda:
Nope.. I'm a December birthday and I love Christmas!

I feel out of synch with the holliday.I want to slow down and relax and the world demand me to consume.

Well its 7am Christmas morning here now.....as I ponder and procrastinate over what I need to do to get this show on the road...

I have organised to pick my mum up at 10.30am and we will go over to my sons house to celebrate the day.

I have presents still to wrap, I need to clean the boot (trunk) of my car so as to fit my mum's wheelie walker in there, and I need to write out cards to put money in for the other presents.....actually now that I've written it down what's to do, it doesnt seem like that much, and if I can get off my sleepy arse and do it, instead of thinking about it, I will have plenty of time.

I guess that's what Christmas is all about, is doing that little bit extra, even when you dont really feel like it, hoping that you can make someone elses day better and happier.

So if I can press the button to sign out of this bloody computer, and get myself off this chair, I have 3 and a half hours to get things done, and then I can begin to relax and enjoy the day. I dont hate Christmas, I just hate the preparation of it, and the expectations I put on myself.

Ok...I'm going....turn myself into Santa's elf for a few hours.

Have a Happy Christmas everyone......xxx
