I struggle with Christmas every year and it seems to be getting worse.
I feel burdened by expectations of who I've got to drop in and see, and what's expected of me by the relatives. There have been wall to wall Chirstmas adds on TV and hubby has been on a spending spree buying himself a new tv and sound bar that I nether want or need. I just seem to be surrounded by blatant consumerism.
I like simple pleasures in life and would much rather have a simple life where it's whats on the inside that matters. I think commercialism is getting worse..do you?
It certainly has been a growing feeling I've had over the last few years. I think I might try and find a charity that need xmas help before my soul gets sucked out of me by all this stuff.
Maybe I'm just a bit more sensitive to this stuff as I work as a holistic thrapist.
Do any of you feel the same?
