Deck the halls and all that

So Christmas is virtually upon us! Only 3 sleeps to go! And then it's the day, and then frankly it's all over. It's quite disappointing really. I am looking forward to the break, to not be working ANYWHERE and to have some quality time with my friends and family. Yee hah. Not that I don't understand the spiritul side of it, because I do, but having previously not celebrated for many years, I find that if I just think of it as time with my family etc it's got more meaning than a desperate attempt to buy buy buy.
