I’m not the biggest Christmas fan, I get a bit moody and maybe I’m just too cynical for all the happy-go-lucky’s bouncing around this time of year. I like getting gifts for people, and I certainly like receiving – but it’s all the FUSS that bugs me.
Mel’s quite the opposite, however, and imagine my surprise that, while we were out walking in Montreal last month, there was a late-night X-mas Shoppe in old-town just waiting for her. It was a bit overwhelming (for her – I was obviously UNDER-whelmed) with shiny things and little houses with lights in them and crap made out of foam with google eyes on it or whatever…
So this week I get to carry home a sticky tree, put it somewhere for 1 month only and just kinda be expected to be happy – and I hate being expected to do things – it makes me do the opposite.
I think this will be a christmas you'll enjoy.
