Christmas is driving me nuts!
I went into my local supermarket yesterday (a place I avoid as much as possible) and there taking up an entire isle was Christmas you know the tinsel and the lolly filled stockings and the decorations and lights etc etc….. They also had Christmas eviro bags the counter, its not even November yet!!!!!!
Have we gone mad?
Wot ever happened to the simplicity of the stable and the awesomeness of The King being born as a innocent child- No wonder the bible tells us not to decorate trees.
Honestly if the kids wouldnt disown me I would cancel Christmas or am I just being a scrouge?

23. October 2008 | 19:01 hBabe, I would cancel it too. I HATE Christmas.
My brother and I had this debate about it a few weeks ago. It took me ages to have him realise that it’s the emptiness that drives me nuts, rather than the socialising. I love the excuse to get together with people, but the falsity of that excuse turns Christmas into a chore and I swear I get more Grinchy every year
Bah HUMBUG
And yet, conversely, the more the years go by, the more meditating on the baby becomes cause for silent tears.

I understand not offending anyone but it is christmas the whole point it is a celebration of the birth of Christ so if that offends dont celebrate
