You know there are certain things you look forward to in life. Seeing the first Snowdrop in Spring, the first winters Snow, Your Birthday and Christmas. When you come home from a holiday and heading to London you look forward to seeing the Art Deco District on the elevated section of the M4. I look forward to Christmas. Yes in our house we Celebrate Christs birthday from November 1st. Well I figure its a very special occasion. I dont celebrate my own birthday with decorations. Plus there is tradition, and then there are the lights and the trees and the gifts and seeing the family and all that joy and love.
What I look forward to, and despite the fact that I have been known to put up my Christmas Tree on the 1st November. My inspiration, Halloween has ended, time to celebrate Christ. I pride myself on being the first home in the hood that has a tree up and most certainly I hate the 6th January, for I have to take it down. For I am a Son of God, a Child of Christ, and I rejoice in these celebrations.
Some may argue that its too commercial now, but in practiacality, I love it. I love gods gift to thee, I love the lights and the passion and the romance of christmas. I love it all.
So what it is it that makes you know that Christmas is really upon us. Is it the Trees, the cards. Is it the festival season? For me it is but one thing. It woulnot be Christmas without the commercial, Holidays are coming. To me that is the opitime of Christmas. It makes me smile, it makes me cheery. You know in this time of really financial gloom its just what I need. So this evening I have looked up the commercials and I lovwate them. For me Christmas is... watching Miracle on 34th Street and then the Coca Cola adverts fro Holidays are coming. Its like the Disney electric light parade. I love it. Of course, my husband, Dusan, is far less enthusiastic, but then as a Disney Child I was want the tree up and the tinsel glistening. I guess I will wait a few more weeks, but you know and pardon the cliche "Holidays are Coming, Holidays are coming, Always Coca Cola.
