I saw this and thought of you.
KP. Poor Santa! My kids will be devastated :rolleyes:
Actually I do like Christmas, well I like the idea and I like the fantasy and I love how my kids are soooooo excited. And I love the look on my faces as they get up in the morning at 3 am :mad: to open the presents which I have bought them that will probably take them till 10 pm at night to open all of them cause there are so many :cry:
Just the reality of my Christmases as a child were so different from the excitement that led up to it.
I do like cosy Christmases with big real beautiful smelling Christmas trees and lights and a cosy fire, and yes, the dream of snow outside. And I have just about every Christmas movie there is and my favourite film is "It is a Wonderful Life. (shhhh don't tell anyone :eek:)
Just can't stand Christmas in 35 degree heat in blazing bright sunshine. And I know plenty of Australians love Christmas on the beach, i just can't get my head round that one.
I am the one with the 7 ft real Christmas tree that touches the ceiling and takes up most of the room,(that I am allergic to and come out with a rash all over if I touch it). And the Christmas lights outside which are getting more and more.every year (Probably because it feels so unchrismassy here that I am desperately trying to make it feel like Christmas should be (an impossible dream)).
But what I truly don't like is how Christmas in the shops now begins in August!. Actually surprised really they have left puttng up the decorations until now. And I don't like how I am so sucked into the commercialism and I fall for it every time.
