Unseasonal!

[callmemadam]

At this moment, In The Bleak Midwinter, my very favourite carol, is playing on Classic FM. (Wrong tune, I prefer the Darke.) For goodness sake, it's Thanksgiving for those celebrating and November not even over. How I'll survive until Christmas in the face of this relentless festive blast, I just do not know.

Oh dear, the grumps! I have bought gifts, written cards and I am just beginning to get a bit of Christmas spirit. I usually love December and the run up to Christmas but it feels a bit different this year, I think all the terrible wars are having an effect on me. I feel angry and sad about it all. I am looking forward to going to the Lakes, though.
Hope you feel cheerier.

I do find it depressing that it all starts so early! Sorry to be grumpy, I'm not really The Grinch.

No need to be sorry, we don't always feel how we want to feel. *Hugs*

You aren't the only one! I can tolerate individuals putting up 'Xmas' lights to cheer themselves up (they're going to pay the bills, after all.) But the fact that this 'festive' blast is mainly driven by commercialism sets my teeth on edge.

Thank goodness it's not just me. I'm being made to feel a grumpy old misery but really, there's no let up from it (all that TV advertising) and it's not even Advent yet.
