We all know that Christmas is just around the corner. And we also know that this year the festive mood is definitely not like it usually is. So, what have you actually prepared for Christmas? Do you have your decorations up? How about your tree?
The other night, Jordan and my family went out to this little house called “Elf World” where they set up millions of Christmas lights and had a little putt putt course set up. It was $1 (AUD) to play and all the money went to Guide Dogs. There used to be millions of houses that did this type of thing but this year, only one was advertised. And hardly anywhere are there any Christmas lights.
So, what have you done to prepare for Christmas?
Something Mum said to me today struck me as rather sad. We were talking about how this year she hasn’t bothered to send Christmas cards out to anyone because she doesn’t feel very festive. It’s not just her that appears to be feeling this way…there are hardly any Christmas decorations out and quite a few Christmas Lights tours have been cancelled due to the lack of streets participating in Christmas Lights Competitions. I used to love going on Christmas Lights tours…the designs some people thought up were absolutely amazing. I once saw a house that was covered from head to toe in snow and every 15 minutes it would rehydrate itself so that it wouldn’t go all funny looking.
But this year, there is hardly anything. Is this simply because Christmas, after all these years, is getting boring? Are the generations of today getting bored and shitty with the whole present giving spiel? Or is it just my little area that seems to be having some problems getting into the Christmas Cheer?
People from the other side of the world, tell me - is Christmas Cheer disappearing where you are too?!
