Humbugs beware , go sit in a corner and sulk all you like .....I love Christmas .
You have to do Christmas , you can`t ignore it and to be honest no one can afford it , but that`s our fault , so just spend a little and buy little gifts.
But that`s half the fun ...trying to buy that special gift for each person on your list, or the time to go shopping on your own , the crowds, that special feeling you only experience at this time of the year . It`s about the stores all decked out with Christmas decorations and specials being offered for the last minute gifts , Christmas tunes being played throughout the stores.
Bumping into friends in the same manic state as yourself , sharing details of how they will spend Christmas day.
After all Christmas is about sharing and giving, about family coming home or just getting together .
Christmas is not just about commercialism ...its about the birth of Jesus I have never forgotten that and though I rarely go to church now a days , I choose to celebrate the event by the giving and exchange of gifts....to each his own I believe .
Our Christmas is all about santa and tacky lights lighting up the exterior of the house , the visitors and the children coming to share the sight , the handing out of candy canes and sharing the odd egg nog with our neighbours.
Christmas eve is the best , the garden full of little children checking out the lights , or couples just arm in arm strolling through enjoying each others company and the ambience of the lights.
The lights on our house at Christmas time have now become part of other peoples Christmas tradition and little children look forward to a visit to the Christmas castle .
