Countdown to Christmas –December 3rd 2013

Today I will be discussing something as common at Christmas time as mince pies and crackers… Scrooges. The ‘Bah Humbug’ crew who think Christmas is over rated, over hyped and not over soon enough!



As a MASSIVE kid at heart I still enjoy all the little things about Christmas like decorating the tree, dancing around supermarkets to ‘Jingle Bell Rock’, leaving a cup of milk out for Santa and always falling asleep before he arrives!

So I find it really difficult to relate to people who just cannot get excited about these things. I admit the hype of Christmas is getting bigger and longer every year. I saw my first Christmas tree in a shop in August this year and even I thought that was too early.

But the people who think Christmas is one day and one day only really frustrate me, as I mentioned earlier, Christmas is about all the little things not just waking up on the 25th December and opening presents.

When I get excited about Christmas it’s not because I am waiting for anything special under the tree, I enjoy the atmosphere; I love the nights getting darker and the weather getting colder. I love getting snuggled on the sofa with a massive mug of hot chocolate watching a family film, I indulge in the joy that is all around and don’t want it spoilt by rotten un-festive sour faces.

What is your favourite thing about Christmas time?
