Christmas

Christmas? It's crap isn't it?
I wonder why it is, that young men are always cautioned against bad girls. Anyone can handle a bad girl. It's the good girls men should be warned against.-David Niven

    The commercial bit is the only bit of it I like. Does my retail shares the world of good.

    not at all.

    yes it got a bit too commercial. but were not religous at all as a family. so it has not reglious meaning either to us.


    however we love it.

    i love the pretty lights twinkling on the tree, late night when the rest of the lights are off and i'm snuggled up with my husband. The kids faces when they see there pressies. the fantastic repeats which are shown on tv. and only fools and horses will always get me laughing. were a really close family and do loads with our littles ones. but i love having the extra time with them over xmas, as hubby gets more time off work.i love just being as a family and playing games, being silly, dancing round the lounge, singing really loudly to song's.

    yes we do this all yr round, but for some reason in the depths of winter, snuggling and having fun with my family is even more amazing.

    nothing is ever crap if it means i'm with my husband and our children.

    that makes me want to spend xmas day in a alcoholic haze incoherently grunting at every member of my family that talks to me.
