MERRY CHRISTMAS
to all my friends here
Actually let’s be honest - what do we love and hate about Christmas, hmmm?
I hate the guilt trip that afflicts me until my “duty” is done - but having done it I can sit here sanctimoniously now and tell my readers I donated to animal welfare (great cause!), made overdue phone calls and wrote 10 e-letters just in the nick of time.
However I did not go shopping.
I love when Christmas is about catching up with people, drinking, laughing, writing letters, making donations, carols; food and did I mention drink, and plenty of that. I don’t even mind the odd religious story thrown in; but the focus on spending is obscene and good only for the retailers.
If you disagree with that then the bad news is there are only 365 shopping days till NEXT Christmas! Get back on that treadmill!
