The Christmas 2011 (2 Viewers)

its the 9th so its probably ok to talk about this now. I think Lili Marlene ; liked to wait til the 10th so I'm posting now cos if I leave it any later it won't annoy him.

So I don't really hate christmas anymore. At worst I'm indifferent towards it. I don't really care. If others enjoy it then its good, but I shall try my utmost to ignore all but the free few days off work.

But I put up the tree this morning under extreme duress. Its the worst thing I can think of to do. Awful. But at least its done.

And why do all those christmas songs go on about snow in some kind of romantic way. We had snow last year and it was terrible. I love that we've no snow this year.

And how come some christmas songs get to be a staple of christmas every year whereas others don't. For example Cliff Richard. His stuff is muck yet its always on, yet I haven't heard christmas lullaby by Shane McGowan once.

As for christmas shopping, I don't think I've done any of that in about 10 years.

anyway, carry on

We don't celebrate Christmas, and neither do our families, makes this time of year so much more relaxing and enjoyable.

In places where they know how to deal with snow it can be pleasant. Going sledding and stuff like that. When you've got to get somewhere and it's been mismanaged that's a different story.

I like the time off work, the christmas markets, going for a walk on Christmas Day while everyone else is overeating and getting drunk and the roads are nice and quiet. All that kind of stuff.

thats kind of what I like too. Not the exact same things as you, moreso the making the most of the quiet time to do other stuff. I've a good few nieces and nephews and my mother still fusses over them so I'm kind of obliged to go to hers on xmas day for a couple of hours. The rest of the time mine, for me and my bike (weather permitting).

christmas lights were invented by the nazis.

Its the only explanation for why its such a pain in the hole to untangle the bastards.

At the risk of repeating myself, forget all the other stuff. The shopping, eating, drinking and snow and whatever other cliches have attached themselves to the Christmas.
It is a time to take a little pause about who and what matters to you, and how you can make the world a better place for them by being a better person.
It's a time to look at the big picture, stop focussing on the little things, see how good life has been to you and how you can be good back.
Recognise the good in yourself and recognise the good in others.

I love the Christmas.

No, but they can be.
You only have to do it for the people in your life to change your own world.
