no, this is not a moaney thread, although for the last week or so I have felt pretty depressed about the prospect of xmas.
I hate it every year, cos we can't afford it, and i get depressed by all the lights, stuff in shops, adverts etc, all they do is make me feel worse, and i have to keep reminding myself what xmas is really about.
It's jesus' birthday......... although i am not a christian, i am aware that christs birthday is celebrated in church, not in tescos.
or
as a pagan, which i AM, its a midwinter festival to remind us spring is coming....likewise not in Asda.
I detest the commercial side of xmas, which seems to start in july these days, but i LOVE the real side, the cold weather, frost and snow, good food, good friends.
So I would just like to say thankyou......to all of you, for making me feel very welcome here, for reminding me what 'community' is all about, even though we dont live next door. for sharing the bad stuff, as well as the good, so that i don't feel alone, and apologise if over the next few weeks i am like a bear with a sore head, i DO like xmas, i just hate the pressure it puts people under, and i know even more of us are going to be feeling it this year, so.........best wishes to you all, may the next year always be better than the last, may your livestock thrive and multiply, your crops grow beyond your wildest dreams, may the road always rise up to meet you, and the devil not know you are dead till you are already in heaven
