Christmas Rant! | Blogmas Day 16
So of course, Christmas is a time to be magical and nice. A time to spend with family and friends, to relax before the pressures of the new year begin.
But, there are some things that I don't like about the Christmas period.
So I thought I'd do a rant about the Christmas period for you to read. Of course, most of these things are light-hearted and this post is definitely not designed to put a negative spin on Christmas!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
Money
No one can escape the fact that Christmas costs money! I especially feel sorry for my friends and family, as my birthday is so close to Christmas that they probably end up spending double the amount that they would have! But when you have presents, cards, food, maybe secret santa or something else where you buy a present for an acquaintance, you're going to spend a lot of money! And if you're a student like me, that's not really a good thing!
Plans
I don't know about you, but it's so hard making plans with a lot of people at the best of times! There's always a day that one person can't do, or a place that one person can't get to and it just becomes so complicated! And Christmas is the main time where everyone wants to get together, which makes things 10 times harder!
Christmas Specials and Movies
Don't get me wrong, I love a good Christmas movie. But once you've seen Home Alone once, Love Actually twice and the Grinch more times than you can count, it's enough! Am I the only one who likes to watch non-Christmas shows at Christmas time? Like, I like to watch special Christmas episodes of TV shows, but if it's the same one playing every day, I really would like to watch something else!
Christmas Day Expectations
This is something that always annoys me. People always want and expect you to spend Christmas day with your immediate and extended family, and if you suggest doing anything else, you're looked at with surprise and shock. I spend every Christmas in the same way, and sometimes I really would like to just chill at home and watch movies with just my immediate family. It's annoying to think that I can never spend Christmas day in the way that I want to.
Thank you for reading.
It's 9 days Until Christmas!
Come back tomorrow for Blogmas day 17
Totally Agree with everything you just said , especial that Christmas is expansive.
ReplyDeleteSometimes Christmas can get commercialised too much; which makes the whole dooh dah seem a little overwhelming. Merry Christmas! :) x
ReplyDeleteYes, I completely agree xx
DeleteTo be honest what annoys me is that yes, it's great to spend money on Christmas, but we should all take a little bit of that spending money out to give to charity instead... that's so much more important!
