The Christmas season for me this year has, so far, been a complete non-event. I’m struggling to find that “Christmas Spirit” stuff that I’ve had in abundance in previous years (I’m guessing Whiskey doesn’t quite count).
I’ve been trying to decide what it is that’s changed between this year and last. This time last year I had regressed to a little kid and was excited to be going out and getting presents for the family, helping with the food shopping ready for the day itself and generally being “Christmas-y”.
This year, the scenario is utterly different. Every time I hear a carol or one of the accursed tunes that they play to death every year I want to throttle someone and I’m overwhelmed by a complete lack of interest in Christmas Day.
Personally, I think it’s the crass commercialism that has tainted me this year. It’s been present for many years, but this year it’s really sunk in. Oh well, maybe I won’t be such a cynic next year.
