oooh, it’s that time of year again! it’s christmas eve eve…the season is upon us! i am sporadically very festive and jolly and then quite nonchalant…or ambivalent…or something. i am in a tres good mood however, as i have my laptop back, after breaking my charger and having to wait for one to be delivered so my “life as a personality girl” experiment was not going according to plan…
so here, to get in the festive type mood, are some things i love about christmas…
christmas cake, marzipan, yule log, mince pies, gingerbread, turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing…yom yom yom!
people who you haven’t seen all year round come out of the wood work, you get to buy gifts for those you love, you eat large amounts of food with them! it’s all good, really!
there is magic in the air! strangers will wish you merry christmas in shops and doctors surgeries and the same old christmas songs that have been played for the last 20 years tinkle away in the background.
there are repeats of the snowman, miracle on 34th street and other wonderfully schmaltzy yet ever so slightly melancholy films and programmes. all because christmas was most important when you were a child in an already seemingly safe and happy environment and this was a time of year that was all about you! people are keen to get back to those more innocent times, but the melancholy shines through because we all know it is so difficult to get back to that fairytale christmas time…
