I refuse to stress out about Christmas.
Shopping has become a real pleasure since the advent of the internet, I have to say. Yes, I miss some of the atmosphere not being out on the high street, but I'll happily forego that along with the crowds, the overheated stores, the endless Christmas muzak, the queues, the trying to find a parking space... Urgh.
Nope, give me a few hours in front of the pc with my own choice of Christmas songs gently getting me in the festive mood and a glass of wine... Perfect. Plus, I just love these few weeks of anticipating the mailman every day, and seeing all those packages come in. Even if half of them aren't mine.
I think choosing gifts for everyone is my favourite thing.
I think my one gripe would be writing Christmas cards. It's really the one bit of the whole season that I loathe. As my dentist complained the other day, it's like writing lines.
/me waits for some of the guys to post back proving me wrong on that one.
Mostly though, I'm afraid I'm one of those really irritating people who never lost their wide-eyed wonder and pleasure in this season and still gets all kid-like at it all.
