Humbug that is!
I'm a humbug when it comes to Christmas season.
Because I cannot for the life of me stand this season of supposedly sharing and giving!
(And I believe I gripe and complain and make a fuss on my blog about this year after year after year!)
I hate the jostling amongst the crowds in our hot humid weather.
I hate receiving cursory gifts given as a matter of non-choice.
I hate the Christmas carols that they play ad nauseum.
I hate the pressure of having to buy gifts because people inform me in advance that they have gotten me "something".
I hate having to attend parties because I have to "show my face".
It's such a season of pretending, of stressing out, of panicking, of suddenly wishing I had no friends it's sacrilegious!
I think this Christmas, I'll just do what I normally do...
To hide at home and read my books.
Or to find some unpopular Christmas place, like the gym or the swimming pool and spend a luxurious afternoon there. And I'll be exercising too, how beneficial!
If not, I'll be sulking (on the inside!) and outwardly doing my fake-smile at some "show-face" party somewhere.
Merry Christmas everyone!
