Some fun to be had for sure for sure |
| The older I get, the more of a Christmas Grinch I become. Maybe it is because I don't have children, then grandchildren to make the day more heart full, I don't know. I do know that I still, at 51 do not regret not having children, so it's really the only day of the year that I wish I could escape from. However, I do love all the Xmas Decorations that are in the shops, the light displays people spend so much time putting together on their houses, the good old fashioned Xmas Carols, all of that. As for the shopping, the sales, the advertising and money grabbing that goes on. NO!!! That is something I leave for everyone else to endure. My husband and I don't even necessarily buy each other gifts. If we want something, we buy it when we want it. I'm fussy and so is my hubby. So I would prefer not to have people waste money on me and buy me things that go in a cupboard, get regifted or go in the bin. And isn't Xmas supposed to be about family and celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ (not that I buy into all that either). No Xmas has turned into a time to spend way too much money on material things that yes, for the kids may be exciting and wonderful, and really it is more of a time for kids. They keep going on here in Australia about the cost of living ruining people's lives. Doesn't seem to stop them from going and spending a bomb on Xmas presents though does it. Yeah, definitely becoming more of a Grinch. However I do make sure my 3 gorgeous furkids get presents and watching them open them is the best part of my day. Once that is done, I'm done. |
