@Rhelna thats very true. What about the people who have no one to spend the holiday with? It would be rather lonely and just like any other boring day i guess. Did you find anything to do to make the time to yourself somewhat enjoyable on Christmas?
My favourite christmas memories always are remembering the evidence left behind by santa I would always get so excited knowing santa was about to visit or has been. Nothing more fascinating than magic when you are young.
Well I think we've talked about some of the annoyances but lots of people I know really struggle with xmas, because they have difficult relationships with their families so xmas serves as a reminder that things aren't great... Or families put pressure on them... Plus then there is the thing of the awkward lunches with family members you'd rather avoid. And also like we've touched on - this time of the year can really highlight loneliness if you are already feeling a bit lonely
One thing I find hard to handle is the attitudes of some people. Stress brings out the worst in people. The way retail staff are treated is sometimes so appauling.
Also my bank account does not love christmas... but that is no surprise. It pays to think ahead in advance and buy a couple of things when you can throughout the year.
