Who hates Christmas?
Just me then
Don't get me wrong, I am really excited about Gabe's first Christmas and eating his 1st christmas dinner, playing with the boxes etc, lol.
But otherwise - argh! - I'm so sick of it. I hate christmas shopping especially for my dad and stepmum who refuse to tell me what they want ("Surprise me" argh) but hate everything I buy - can't win! I hate all the signs in the shops and the adverts on telly. I have no money and yet everything seems to be geared towards spend, spend, spend! I never buy presents for anyone that isn't close friend or family and everyone thinks I'm a scrooge but why should I spend the little money I've got on someone I barely know just because "its christmas"?!?
Also people often buy me bath stuff or make up when I dont have baths and hardly ever wear make up, arrrgh. I know its the thought that counts but they might as well have given me the ??2 it cost and then I could spend it on chocolate
We're going shopping this weekend & I'm dreading it - I just never know what to get anyone!
Sorry if I sound really ungrateful, I'm not honest....just fed up of the pressure to spend money we dont have! Christmas used to be a happy family time but now it's just a huge commercial thing where you splash cash & accumulate junk you'll never use!!!
