So it's come to that time of year where the mince pies, inside green trees, silly red hats and the fat guy with the beard come out. Everybody is singing, buying presents and preparing for whats supposed to be an enjoyable day of the year.
As I've grown up December the 25th has become like an ordinary day to me. The thing iv mostly looked forward to is getting a day to relax. I aint going to talk totally negative about it, as I understand that some people think quite highly of the day.
I bet a lot of people are out shopping today for their last bits and bobs. There's always one doing the last minute shop. It took myself about 5 weeks to actually complete my Christmas shopping. Although it's supposed to be a happy season I actually bad this annoyed feeling throughout it all. The fact that we all spend so much money and time into one day, it's shocking.
I suppose the concept about driving home for Xmas and spending time with family is the main feeling people attempt to grab from Xmas. Knowing that people are going home after months of working and studying away must mean so much to other people. I know a few people from my uni that have gone home in the last few days after being away since August/September. After speaking to them I realised what it actually meant, knowing that they were going to see their parents, siblings and other dammit members. Seeing how excited they were made me happy and opened my eyes a bit more to Xmas.
I hope everyone enjoys their Xmas eve.
Talk to you soon...
