Rant 351 16/12/12 Subject: Dragging month

Rant number 351

I think by now that you have realised that I'm not a big fan of Christmas - or the month of December. They are not really my thing.

There is mass hysteria over toys, over food and over pretty much everything.

People push themselves to the brink trying to get it all right and expend far too much energy in a few short weeks - in the name of 'good will towards men' (and women of course.)

The whole thing is so obsessive - like the one day holds some humongous significance.
The reality however, is that its just another day - despite all the hype and 'magic' that by all accounts surrounds it.

I understand that people want something special for the winter but really - its not such a big day, its just 24 hours. Why not make your magic last all winter or all year or whatever? Surely that would be much better?

The worst thing of all is though - it means that I'm stressed out, busy as hell and each day is hard work that goes on forever. Which is making this month last forever!

Why is it not over yet - well this week at the very least.

Rant over.
