Xmas in Two Months
Filed under: Feels a bit festive already
he winter or autumn here has gotten cold (tried to find heater for the fish; there’s a plan B) and Xmas is just two months away. The days will get longer again, not shorter.
This year, unlike last year, both Rianne are available (no other engagement that day) to shop together on Xmas Eve.
What will we buy this year? Well, I still need to find a new Xmas sweater for Rianne. The Sunday Market has none until it’s nearly Xmas; they say it’s very hard to sell these once Xmas has passed.
I miss the days Xmas had some real “charm” (maybe 80s and 90s).
Due to lousy economies a lot of habits have changed.
To many people, expectation of extravagant consumption became a pesky burden. Social media (popularity contest) makes that worse.
