I don’t mean the drink over Christmas, I mean do we all have that Christmas Spirit of showing good will to all men and woman!
Or do people just find it all a bit of old humbugs.
Does Christmas usually end up in mass family arguments on who did or didn’t do something during the year or with all the pressure of cooking that perfect Christmas dinner, divorce proceedings start to pop up! Or that auntie Maud has dropped her false teeth in the punch bowl again and that if it was for your side of family she wouldn’t be there…
But shouldn’t we remember that Christmas is for love and peace.
So please remember everyone, show your love to your family and to those that may not be as well off or as happy as you are and have a wonderful happy Christmas

Luckily our faith doesn’t celebrate Christmas so no pressure on us there for that specific Christmas Spirit Ideal – and the holidays aren’t hard on my family argument wise, but my husband’s side does get into it. Fights over White Elephant? gifts, how much we are all allowed to spend on gifts and who we are buying for (like why can’t I buy a little something for everyone? why do we have to put a price tag on the spending and then only get one person a gift?) fights over where to hold the cookie swap thing they do – who hates whose husband – and so on. I hate to admit it, but it kind of makes me laugh – its ironic in a way that if you celebrate Xmas – it should be about love, family and togetherness, giving – all that – but it seems to degrade to familial violence.

I generally find that most people do feel and express the Christmas spirit. It’s a shame it can’t be like that all of the time, but I guess some of the time is better than none of the time. Christmas must be particularly difficult for people having a rough time; you’re right: those more fortunate should make a special effort to help out, especially for kids.
