Bah Humbug!

So it's the first of December, and it’s already decided that the airwaves should be plagued with Christmas songs; despite the fact that the big day is over three weeks away. The plotting and scheming of how to spend twenty-four hours away from the shops has begun; even though some places will still be open. I've seen stair banisters covers with rows of Christmas lights and people filling their windows with flashing lights in December, and whole houses covered in a multitude of electric colours. And yet you're labelled a humbug if you haven't put your tree up yet, finished your Christmas shopping or even complained that it's too early. I've seen houses that have already gone overboard with Christmas lights; and it's great to see that people can afford to splash the cash. Honestly people, it’s just one day that you're forced to spend with the family guessing what materialistic items they've desired over the years.
