Only a few more days now till Christmas and still I have only bought a few presents. I can’t understand why people get so hyped up about just one day.
The last few years have been a little disappointing and, frankly, empty of the Christmas cheer I used to feel when I was younger.
Perhaps it is because I am older and more cynical or perhaps it is because as families grow more distant there is little to enjoy except the presents you receive that day. Being over twenty there are few ‘toys’ to enjoy and presents consist largely of beauty gift sets and tops that I will never wear.
After striking a deal with a pound-stretched Santa I have managed to convince him to buy me a PS3 if I agree to put over £100 towards it. This went down fairly well and I now have something to look forward to Christmas morning. When did I ever get so materialistic?!
I foresee that such a shiny console with its never ending list of new games, I will find it difficult to squeeze in many chapters of Dracula over the winter. Either way I will enjoy the break after nearly three months at work without having a day off besides the statutory weekends.
Still, I can’t complain, at least I still have a job which in the current climate is something to be grateful for. Even if I don’t exactly enjoy what I do!
