The silly season is just about over! Only another 2 days of it and then I'm safe till next year! it's not that I hate Christmas it's more that I hate all the silly things that people do....
It's things like the little old lady that drives her car 4 times a year, 3 of those in the few days before Christmas, drives down the road at a 20km/h and does not care that the traffic is backed up behind her for 3 blocks or the Mum with the kids out of control in a shop, she's happy because the kids are leaving her alone, everybody else in the shop would love to kill the kids.... also the fact the people go over board and buy way to many gifts and then spend months paying for them.....
I think people get wrapped up in the "GIVING" and miss the point of Christmas (while the point for me...) it's BEING with family and friends, taking time out of everyday life and just enjoying time with the ones you love ( & hopefully love you back!)
Having said that I think both the Wife and I have spent to much money on gifts, it's Ok we paid cash for most of them, it's been interesting this year to see how my Wife sees Christmas, last year she was still very shy to my family and had only been in NZ for a few months, this year she's full on and showing me how Filipino's do Christmas, must say it's much more than I'm use too! For me Christmas was a few cheap things that people could hopefully use and time with the family, all up maybe $50, this year in line with Filipino tradition we have got a large number of gifts for all the family, it's making Wife happy which makes me happy! also with all those gifts and sure the rest of the family should be happy too! ;)
Weight 127.55kg, very small gain, worst to come in the next few days! good point is I will not have the scales with me, so I'll not be able to check the damage!
Have a Merry Christmas and all the best for the new year people!
