Well it's nearly the time of year for that invisible strange man with the red suit and black boots to do his rounds .A time for happiness and rejoicing (supposedly)
Why is it then that everyone who is supposed to enjoy it feel miserable, endup short on cash ,have family arguments and waste so much time on something they donot actually believe in .
You see people stressed out, running around like lunatics buying all sorts of junk , too much food and that damn turkey that you will be eating until next spring !
Some people put the tree and decorations up in November , I feel sorry for the kids . Christmas is supposed to be magic for them . A week is an eternity to a child and adults think by putting up all the decorations and kids asking "When is Santa coming " nearly everyday that this is good for their children .I do have to question why they do this .

This has never happened in my house and I treat Christmas much like a Sunday, although I do like to plan my menu a bit better and never ever have turkey .
My tree always went up on Christmas Eve when my son was in bed and I didn't get the headache most parents do . He used to ask why we never had a tree and decorations up , my reply was always " Santa will bring them when he comes and you'll know he's been because you are special " .His face when he got up on Christmas morning was always of amazement because Santa had been with the tree, the lights and the presents .
My friends always called me scrooge at Christmas because I didn't fall into the trap that most do .

So is Christmas a headache for you , or do you find it a happy time and rejoice in the true meaning of it ? Afterall it's not all about who can spend or eat the most is it !?
