Christmas... Aaahhh! Glittering snow, rosy cheeks, the excitement on children's faces. Friends and families coming together. Driving home for Christmas, I can't wait to see those faces.
Naha! For me, Christmas does not carry with it any emotions of joy, peace, harmony to all of the world. I look at Christmas cards and decorations and I feel... Nothing! I want to skip the whole crimbo this year, I don't know when this happened or if it was supposed to, but it has. Don't get me wrong, I love food (we'll get to that), and Christmas comes with many delicious moments of over indulgence. That I can do. But I can't, and won't, do all the other bits.
The worst bit of all is the constant need for shopping and wanting. What do you WANT for Christmas? Nothing, I don't want anything that I can't buy myself, and what I really want, you can't get for love nor money, it seems.
Don't get me wrong, I like buying things for people, to treat others, but I hate the thought of having to buy some last minute crap just because I have to.
Having said all that, this year I am jetting off to the old country, but not so much to celebrate the birth of Jesus, but something completely different.
This year, my Christmas will come early, and I won't want anything else.
