So this is Christmas....

Christmas - where people appreciate your food (or at least your effort). Where they appreciate your attempt at gifts. Where they know you and give you things you might have a chance of liking or else they admit defeat and give you a voucher. Where there's conversation that everyone enjoys. Where people are considerate of each other. Where there are no spoilt children who just want the presents, the lollies and then to get away as soon as possible. Where the fun is decorating the tree, waiting in anticipation and awe and enjoying the ritual. Where the variety of food and drink intrigues and you all embrace the concept of a special feast. Right?
