Reason 7: Christmas Shopping
By Christmas Shopping I’m not meaning the actual process of giving and receiving gifts, that’s lined up for another day. What I mean is the physical act of going into town or some shopping centre on the edge of town. The mind bogglingly stressful act of getting all your Christmas Prezzies.
Reason 6: The January 2nd Blues
You’d think that I’d really look forward to January 2nd ((or whatever date corresponds to everyone going back to work)). Christmas is over, the madness can stop and it’s a nice return to status quo. Oh no, it’s not as simple as that.
Reason 5: Carol Singers
Now before you go all bah-humbuggy on me, I don’t mean groups of people simply singing Carols just for the fun of it. Nor do I mean Christmas Carols themselves. Neither are my cup of tea but they’re harmless enough and if they have the effect of cheering people up, that’s cool. No, what I’m writing about is something completely different.
Reason 4: Christmas Markets
Theres’s a German Market in Leeds every year. It’s a fun filled place full of lederhosen clad Germans. Or is it?
Reason 3: Christmas Cards
People send folded pieces of cardboard to each other every year. You can simultaneously exchange your folded piece of cardboard with one from your friend and relative. Snowmen, Santa and Robins may feature a lot.
