WARNING: Talk of Christmas coming up….
Maybe this year, things will be different?
I’ve been saying that for a while.
I feel guilty when i moan. Some people have it bad… i know that i don’t in comparison but it never does much to make you feel better. So, yes, i know my life is good when you put it next to other people’s….but this is my life and my good or bad.
The past few years, i have had what constitutes to me, in my life, a bad time.
Talking to my doctor, i put it simply like that i’ve had a few year of a bad run of luck.
Every New Year i get to thinking that possibly, maybe, this will be the year when everything is ok. So far, i don’t think there has been a year when something of significance hasn’t happened. (And by significant, i mean bad for my general state of mind.)
For some reason, it seems more apparent and sticks in your mind when it’s an unhappy Christmas and New Year, i guess becasue those times are meant to be happy.
Sickness, bad relationships and just a little sadness have marred my past few ‘jolly seasons’.
But this year, my significant other is spending Christmas with me and my family. In the history of all that is me, this has never happened before. Yes i’ve been with someone at the time but it’s never happened that they’ve wanted to spend Christmas together.
I can’t remember being this excited about Christmas for a good few years. So, maybe my time has come…. just maybe, this year, it will be different.

Buttons, after all this hopeful talk you’re worrying me now that you might get a cold/flu thingy. Wonder if you should go get a flu jab down the local health centre?
I’d love for you both to have a happy Xmas. I’m kinda hoping 2007 will be a good year. Should be, it’s got my old favourite number at the end.
Actually, this will be my first Christmas in blogland. Wonder what it’ll be like?

Yes, maybe you should fully load yourself with lots of zinc and that new herbal thing called Airborne. I tried it a few weeks ago and it actually did the trick. Also, tea with honey because honey is wonder food.
Holidays can be rough, but they can also be fun and yum-filled. I hope this time yours is yum-filled!

YYYAAAAYYYYY! Oh, that sounds fab
I shall be spending Christmas with my in-laws, which will probably be dreadful, but I plan to escape as soon as possible. They’re very claustrophobic, his parents.

Hey congrats for getting an S.O. to spend Christmas with you and the family.
I have to go to Canada again, where it will snow too much and we will get stuck indoors. I am sure of it!

Olivia that sounds wonderful!!! snow at Christmas! you’re lucky

I don’t like Christmas much, probably because I want it to be wonderful and it never is…
I hope yours is great! And well, you’ve got 6 weeks to plan it to perfection!

And I love you too.
But you should be thankful that we are not in my love movie, otherwise I’d be a creepy old lonely man, and you’d be my dead wife coming back to haunt me and anyone who tries to visit. It would all be in black and white with eerie organ music…….
