Ok, so as you all know, Christmas is only just over a month away. Yes, most people look forward to it and get all hyped up, but the build up is dragged out too much if you ask me. I mean, Xmas is only 1 day of the year; 1 out of 365. So why is it that the adverts always start around September/October?? Quite frankly, I'm sick of hearing about it already. Yes, I respect the religious aspect, AND the fact it's the time for family to get together etc... But is it really worth the build up it's given?

This year will be the first year I have Christmas alone with my kiddy. And I do not have the money to make it a fancy one either. Our money goes up to necessary food and some little tiny presents for the child involved. It can be a hype or what so ever, if you can not reach out to go along with that flow, it simply goes by. I will try to make it a pleasant stay at home. And hoping for next year Christmas will be a bit more joyfull for us.

Xmas these days is for kids, NOT ADULTS! (Unless you're richer than Bill Gates) I'm not that festive this year because I'm not working and I am going to get gives, instead of giving which is sad. But I am grateful. So, I know exactly how you feel. Don't get me started on the Xmas music....ewwww.

Christmas is like a festival, people were jammed in every shops in the mall. The reason, promos and sales of items were spread like fire. People grabbed the opportunity to accomplish their Christmas list. That's the customs and traditions, we can not bend the fact about it.
