Christmas Eve

I am officially fed up of Christmas. Bah Humbug!

There is so much of 'it' on the TV, radio, shops, cards, parties at work etc etc etc. I have seen one christmas card with an actual christmas nativity scene. Every other has robins, santas, snowmen, reindeer, penguins, holly, etc on the front. Not that mine are any better - I had a snowman on mine because I couldn't SEE any proper cards in the shop. I have written 10 so far. I need to get four more. :-(

We all waste tonnes of money on gifts for each other that NOBODY wants. Sometimes we strike it lucky and buy something that someone wants, or at least pretends to want... but more often we have to ASK them and buy what they tell us. Where's the surprise in that? And who's birthday is it supposed to be anyway?

It's too predictable to go on about how commercialised christmas is, so I'll stop. But it IS!!!

And now I might even have 5 minutes to think about what's really going on and what it should all be about. I hope God won't mind, it's the first five minutes I appear to have had.
