I do remember a timewhen you could walk through a shopping centre in Novemeber and not see a single thing related to Christmas, so the lead in to Christmas was shorter and sweeter, and it was what it was a suppoesed to be, and opportunity for people to catch up, travel, take time off to recharge the batteries.
Now, Christmas is so in your face that by December you just want it to go away, everything feels like an obligation, and the simple things, the simple joys and pleasures, like running out on the streets to show your mates what you got for Christmas, the street was filled with kids on new bikes, scooters, green machines....now kids are stuck inside playing festering video games and being anti-social.
Oh, and once the shelves are stripped of xmas shit, you just know that it is going to be filled with the next commercialisation and obligation....EASTER
