Deck the halls!

I know it's not even the 1st of Dec yet, so don't shoot me for writing a blog about Xmas, please.

Is it a crime to actually look forward to that time of the year? Why am I looking forward to it, you may ask.. particularly as there hasn't been a Xmas in my life where things have run smoothly and I've actually enjoyed the day. Well.. no harm in hoping for it to go well! The idea of Xmas sounds pleasant.. time with the family, eating good warm food, drinking good warm alcohol, and singing good warm carols. That's how it goes in the movies anyways.

The reality of it is at some point in the day you're going to argue with someone, particularly after one too many mulled wines, you'll eat to your hearts content and won't be able to fit into your jeans the next day, and you'll be sick of all the carols as it's all you've heard since November.
Isn't it a shame that it's only one day, eh?

Oh well, to all you scrooges out there! I cannot wait! I like reality, it's all so... real! No point living in fantasy. Appreciate what you've got.

And only 39 days to go!
