It has only just lurched into December and it’s time for the annual 25 days of non-stop Christmas-themed paraphernalia and we should all be revelling in it (or at least that’s what the Powers That Be are telling us!)
The Christmas decorations are already up in the shops and city centres are rivalling Las Vegas for the levels of light pollution!
Christmas is the time of year when everyone looks forward to that day when they can eat as much turkey as possible, open presents and will then all collapse round the telly to fall asleep whilst watching the Christmas afternoon film (trying desperately to dodge the Queen’s Christmas speech!)
It’s a shame though that there is really only one day when we can smile at people in the street and say hello and generally be polite to one another without looking like we’ve escaped from a psychiatric ward.
Rather than just the Christmas decorations being strung up excessively early and Mariah Carey’s familiar warble of “All I want for Christmas is you” reappearing on radio stations what might be a bit better is if everyone embraced what Christmas was really about; that old-fashioned notion of Christmas cheer and being just that little bit friendlier and dishing out good will to their fellow man (and woman!)
