Once again, we come to the Holiday Season, a deeply religious time that each of us observes, in our own way, by going to the shops and buying lots of tat and mountains of food,where half of it gets wasted, and huge amounts of booze,and thinking the shops are going to be closed until Easter,when in fact they are closed for just one day.Getting inebriated 7 nights in a row,buying gifts for people you cannot stand (do keep the receipts though in case you change your mind) The time of year when everyone thinks you are wonderful and you are best of friends .......until of course February when they wont give you a second glance.
A time when many will get in debt and be still paying off debts until the following Christmas.
A time when the house looks unbelievably messy,with cards left in a heap,and wrapping paper strewn all asunder,broken gifts and toys ,Christmas lights that refuse to work with bulbs that cant be replaced (unless you go to China to buy replacements).
A time when many folk absolutely hate the gift you have given them,and vice versa .
A time when Christmas music blaring out begins to get on our friggin nerves.
And on the Christmas day,if we go to family or friends,we all sit around gorging copious amounts of food,and as the day wears on getting more and more bored with small talk and cant wait to go home.The thought of spending the entire few days in someone else's home is the stuff of nightmares.
A time when families fall out and have rows galore.
And then there is the big clear up and we wonder what it was all about,and we say,never again.......urghhh
