Christmas fatigue...

I dont want to sound like Scrooge but Christmas is just not really exciting me yet. Maybe its being far away from home or maybe its because of the fact that TV is trying to make us believe that unless you spend at least 500 pounds on shopping this festive season, you suck...like totally dude.
I know this is a cliche, but Christmas has become just too commercialized to be the sappy, innocent time it used to be. It has become so completely 'bastardized' that the real centerpiece of the whole season is a frenzied two week shopping spree whilst basking in the glory of capitalism and consumerism. Not that I'm cynical or anything....
Yeah happy festive season!
