Though Christmas really is the most wonderful time of year, that certainly doesn't mean it doesn't come with its pitfalls. And I know that 'DitsyDecember is of course intended to focus a lot on the amazing highlights, and not so much on the perhaps-not-so-great aspects. However, for today I thought I'd switch that over - although whilst still keeping things very much lighthearted - and give a little rundown of a few things which, whilst we may not like to admit it, aren't our favourite things about he festive season...
- The. weather. is. so. damn. cold.
- The long, long queues for everything and anything, everywhere.
- And the fact that there's massive crowds of people everywhere too!
- The fact that whilst you love Christmas music, you really cannot escape it, even if you tried...
- ...Especially if you work in Retail.
- Trying to come up with original, good gift ideas when you feel like you used up all of your good ones about three years ago.
- ...Whilst also trying to resist buying a tonne of 'gifts' for yourself when you're supposed to be shopping for others.
- There just always feels like there's so much to do and yet so little time too!
- Trying to resist turning the whole of December into one big Cheat Day.
- Attempting to wrap any present that isn't square or rectangular-shaped - because you don't want to give in and just bundle it into a gift bag. Period.
