Mummy I want! I want! I waaaaaaaaaaaaaant!
Good Grief!
I really hate the shopping aspect of the Christmas season! For us folks who don't get into it, are not slaves to commercialism, the festive season really sucks!
You head off to the supermarket to pick up life's necessities of bread, milk, butter and fruit and what happens? There are zillions of people meandering round, getting in your way, ankle biting snotty nosed little people trying to trip you up and those just stand there gawking types that you want to smack upside the head to say move you irritating nurk!
Not only do they have the entire extended family in tow that takes up the whole width of the mall, they also have wailing, moaning, crying, sulking, I want it, I WANT IT entourage in tow!
Why can't these people just do it all on-line like me... find a wonderful website that caters to the whole family, individually wraps the presents with a personalised gift card and delivers in time for Christmas without having to leave the house!
It's amazing how much expense, effort, hair pulling that people go to at this time of year. To me, a birthday is much more important.. you've managed to survive another year pretty much intact! A celebration much more worthy in my thinking than the celebration, that to a lot of people means nothing more than oooh, what presents am I getting and gawd I don't want to spend it with the family again!
Bring on the New Year celebrations I say.. I do like to celebrate the change of one year to another!
