So I am a lover of Christmas time, or if you do not believe in Christmas, I am a lover of this time of year (on the northern hemisphere)
I love the idea of the winter period - the cool breeze, cozy clothes, hot chocolate ... You know what I'm getting at. I would love to actually get some snow during this time. I mean, I want to experience the stereotypical Christmas time, with snow and big wooly jumpers and sitting by a fireplace exchanging gifts. Too much of a fairytale? See cartoons give us youths too big expectations. :P
I have to admit having Christmas in the winter sure beats the Southern Hemisphere where it's summer. I have had only 6 years, out of my 16 years of living, of Christmas in summer :O. It's actually not that bad, but winter is ace. Unfortunately, where I live it's a desert... literally... so if we even get one day of rain it's a freaking miracle.
This brings me to a weird observation that I have made during this period. Normally, there are Christmas lights up, carols blasting in supermarkets and a general Christmasy vibe. But I feel nothing. Which sucks because this is supposed to be an awesome time of year. What other day of the year are you on holiday AND get presents?? It's so weird it's like Christmas chose not to show up this year. I remember last year, the supermarket that I go to played Christmas carols 1 month before Christmas until like 2 months after! Now... nothing... Weird huh? Maybe they stole Santa? (Btw, if you watch 'The Librarians', you'll get the reference :P). What adds to this is that this year we didn't have a lot of rain... only one day! How am i supposed to survive a whole year on one day of rain! Stupid climate change...
Anyways, I'm done with that little weird observation...
Sooo.....
Bye :D
