Especially the idea that we'll all be beaming with happiness as we stuff ourselves with food and drink. I think most people secretly dread Christmas, despite the smiling masks they put on. They hate the expense, the over-indulgence, the excruciating Christmas parties, the enforced proximity of detested relatives and all the rest of it. Jenny and I will just be having a quiet Christmas on our own without any over-the-top nonsense.nickhttp://nickhereandnow.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-62597791776541731802014-12-18T18:09:45.558-03:302014-12-18T18:09:45.558-03:30right there with you regarding what has been share...right there with you regarding what has been shared.<br />hopefully near family will be with me Christmas Eve<br />if they can avoid the flu.<br />One Woman's Journey - a journal being written from Woodhaven - her cottage in the woods.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12548226150115102345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-3036497507234951292014-12-18T14:27:37.818-03:302014-12-18T14:27:37.818-03:30GM:
