Anyone have a 'glad when it's all over' festive attitude?
Discussion
I suffer with social and generalised anxiety. Work people that start hanging tinsel from November and planning festivities this time of year leave me cold. I appear to others as a grinch but inside im pretty much like a coiled spring right up until the day when I am surrounded by family and loved ones. That is what xmas is about for me. The work parties and associated bulls
t Im happy to leave behind.

Yep, me as well. Another oe that will be glad when it's over and done with. I've made more effort this year than last - actually bought a bottle of Baileys and a tub of Celebration chocs. Oh yeah, and bought a Turkey roast thing and some spuds that the dogs and I will enjoy.
Bah Humbug!
Bah Humbug!
Nothing to do with commercialisation or even family overload. I've just stopped enjoying it for personal reasons, in fact it's more than that. I actually get upset that things are no longer pleasurable and I'm annoyed about that being taken away from me as I used to be very good at it all.
So I don't do it any more and am glad when the outside pressure of being told to be festive is over for another twelve months. I won't be seeing anyone on the day apart, perhaps, later on in the evening when the chap behind the bar serves me a beer.
