Santa Claus

Would anyone agree that it,s a bit early for Santa Claus to come to town? In a blaze of fireworks! Is December not the month?

Normally I would totally agree with you but even I'm looking forward to the xmas season. In all the doom and gloom and despair christmas is the only glimmer of hope and joy and family time that the government cannot take away from us or tax or screw up. It's ours.

Get the lights up, get your trees up, decorate and start talking about it. It's something to give thanks for that we can all share some happiness in. Not for the glut of presents, because as we all know those times have gone. But we can all give and receive a little something in the material sense but give and recieve much more in a social sense.

Being with your family and friends, making time for whats important, a family meal together, drinks and chat with neighbours and those who live nearby. A bit of tv, a few drinks and being inside during the cold together.
Back to basics playing games together.

The selfishness of the last decade is not only going to get stripped away but it's going to be replaced by something better, a foundation of altruism ad personal sense of improvement that doesn't rely on making a massive list of things we want or trying to satisfy anothers lust for personal greed.

This is quite possibly the first year of christmas as it should be.

So break out your old copies of love actually men and women alike and get in the xmas spirit. Becuase happiness cannot be bought and xmas belongs to the people and they cannot take it away.

Thats great and all but it has nothing to do with the fact that its still too early to be getting ready for xmas, if you start all that now by the time xmas actually comes around you'll be sick of it.

Starting it this early only degrades the very values your talking about

I agree with you Lantus, the real Xmass spirit has been lost for a long time. Don,t people always go around saying that it does,nt feel like Christmas. Thats because its not. The spirits gone. All materialistic now. So I,m all for the Real Christmas too, but as Draffodx says, its still to early to start it. By the time the 25th of December comes, we,r tired of it.

Way too early for Christmas stuff, end up sick of it by the time the 25th comes around.
