A lot iof people do find Christmas isn't what they want it to be girls.
This year I bit the bullet and suggested to all the grownups that we stop exchanging presents now and that way we could get wanted for ourselves if we wanted to!
Everyone seemed really relieved and delighted and so the pressure is off for us now. We just buy for the grandchildren and each other.
It just takes one brave soul to start the ball rolling!
Or you could say, no more pressies but you will be donating to a charty instead?
Also- Alan and i are going away to CenterParks this year, so no food buying either this year-it's bliss!

I like it too!!

I LOVE Christmas. Got the silly Santa hat. Done the shopping, wrapped the pressies. Lots of beautiful cards. Trimmed the sitting room. People are NICE at Christmas - especially if you smile at them

Love it, love it, love it ......... Baaaah Humbug to those that don't

Well, I must be another saddo too, as I love Christmas, always have. I know I find it harder to shop now - M & S was manic today in the Food bit, but everyone seemed to be on good terms, the bags were being packed by young swimmers from Durham ASC, and the carols were playing.

I always hope Christmas can work its magic everywhere - too much to hope for, I know. Midnight Mass is the best Mass of the year, though sadly now in our parish, not at midnight. When the crib is blessed, and a little girl or boy places the infant Jesus in the manger, and the little ones all sing Away in A Manger I get a lump in my throat.
