Don't get me wrong, I like Christmas. What I hate is how commercial it's all become. It's all about separating you from your hard earned money. It's not like we're not bombarded with adverts trying to do that the rest of the year, but at this time it's full on relentless.
Now that Christmas is over, the pre-Christmas "buy this or your don't love your family/friends" type ad is gone. Now it's "you're house is obviously a pig sty, so buy a sofa, but you've only got till New Year" type of ad.
The pre-Christmas scrum in the shops in town are over, and it's three days after the big day, so most of the gift voucher spending should be over too. That makes it reasonable safe to venture out again as you should be able to get about without the use of a chainsaw to cut a path through hordes of zombie like shoppers.
Roll on Hogmanay, when all I have to do is raise a glass to the (pretty shite) year that's leaving us, and welcome in the new beginnings and opportunities that the New Year will hopefully bring.
