Christmas 2011
« on: November 28, 2011, 11:27:13 pm »
well, it's almost december again... and i feel about as christmasy as a jehovas witness in june. just can't seem to get into the spirit this year for some reason. i'm forcing myself to watch the colourised version of 'It's A Wonderful Life' tonight in an attempt to ignite the yule log in my soul. if that doesn't work then it's time to worry. anyone got any ideas?

so - how's everyone spending their festive time this year?

I am too busy preparing for an Ofsted visit. They are coming during the last week of term.

I did some Christmas shopping on Sunday. Instead of staying in Peterborough, we drove a little way up the A1 to Stamford, a beautiful little town with many Georgian buildings and little cobbled streets and courts. It's been filmed many times for TV programmes such as Middlemarch. It felt much more Christmassey, walking down cobbled lanes, surrounded by graceful stone buildings instead of battling through the horrible shopping centre in Peterborough.

This Christmas song often gets forgotten, but I think it's lovely:

Gilbert O'Sullivan - The Christmas Song

I can't get excited about Christmas until about a week before the day now, purely because of what it does to my workload (and therefore quality of life). When you're spending most of your life worrying about other peoples' Christmas shopping it's hard to get that excited about your own!
