Seeing a lot of "Bah Humbug" in the press and social media some people just don’t like Christmas do they, and my message is just get over it.
Complaints a plenty about the early start to the festive celebrations from TV adverts, to shop shelves and people putting up their Christmas trees and decorations. On the latter maybe, people should stop nosing through other peoples windows.
Personally, I enjoy the build up to Christmas. However, before November is a bit of a no go area even for me a well-known Christmas nut. I truly hate TV ads as a rule, but Christmas times my hatred weakens like for the John Lewis ad.
Why shouldn’t my local butcher be taking orders for Christmas turkeys. I mean you could leave it to the last minute for a bargain but more than likely you will be disappointed. I have my order in so I won’t be crossing my fingers on a wing and a prayer come Christmas Eve. Whine away but most will still be doing their Christmas shopping unless they really like the idea of doing it at the last minute and having a mad dash around the shops. Those late shoppers will still be complaining and moaning about the shops being full and the shelves empty and that must have toy for Jimmy or Janet sold out.
It’s bad enough that the spiritual and moral message of Christmas — forgiveness and goodwill to all men — is thrown out of the window by some in the last minute shopping fraternity , its dog eat dog out there. While the much-maligned early shoppers are sitting, back looking at a tree surrounded by presents, full food cupboards, and full freezer.
While I talk of full cupboards and presents around the tree please remember there are people out there who will have a miserable time. They could be alone, ill or have a lack of money if you have something spare remember you could gave to a food bank and toy bank.
