Why I Love and Hate Christmas.

Christmas is such a strange time of year. The days leading up to it are filled with rushed preparation, I seemingly always find myself in Debenhams with my Dad is a manic rush to find one last perfect present for my mum. On the flip side I'm in Sainsburys or Tesco's with Mum stocking up on copious amounts of food and booze to be plastered across the dinner table for Christmas Eve, Day and Boxing day.

The evenings leading up to Christmas also consist of two things;

Wrapping

and

Love Actually or The Holiday.

On the other side, I despise Christmas. I love my job, I really do, It's an amazing place to work, you get fed and found but it is hard graft and on occasion you do get the simple customer or two. Especially when's its all you can drink. Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the three weeks before Christmas it always consists of these two things:

Vomit

and

Drunk-Middle aged women proposing to me and my colleagues.

It's all just pretty embarrassing really.


But I really love about Christmas is summed up in the clip below from Love Actually - Secretly we all want to live the life of this film.
