[QUOTE="nlj, post: 673410, member: 17650"] I'm with you Wakeup! It's the festival of greed. The worst thing about Christmas here is the appalling noise that bombards shoppers everywhere from mid-November, awful christmas 'music' at a ridiculous decibel level that makes any shopping expedition a journey into headache-inducing stressful hell. Other than that, it's nice to have a couple of weeks off work. I don't tend to get sucked into the present-buying insanity of it all. I hate the commercialism and also the unrealistic expectation of a magical time with happy loving families. It's a mirage. Apparently more divorces and family break-ups occur at Christmastime than at any other time of the year. Madness. We have a traditional turkey lunch then go to the beach for a walk. It's not surprising how many other people we meet there who are also avoiding all the fuss. "Bah humbug!" as Charles Dickens wrote. [/QUOTE]
