Christmas

Things I like about Christmas:
Collecting wood for the fire and sawing it into pieces. I love feeling I am getting something for free. It also gets us out for an afternoon and sawing wood burns calories.
Eating good food.
Drinking nice wine.
Getting over the Winter Solstice.
The kids anticipation.
Walking in the hills after Christmas.
Lazing around the house.

Things I don't like so much:
The presents culture (except for children).
The fact that it starts in November.
Eating too much good food.
The post Christmas anti-climax.
Going back to work before the New Year.
New Years Eve.
Going back to work after New Year.
The thought of the long winter ahead.
Stupid Christmas songs.
People who light up their houses with Xmas lights.
