There are so many miserable threads on here about how terrible Christmas is. Hating receiving cards - they go straight in the bin! Hate thinking of presents, hate all the wrapping paper and waste. God forbid you use a gift tag!
I understand that it’s difficult time for many people, especially with the cost of living and difficult family members. All the ‘wife work.’
HOWEVER. Is there anyone who actually enjoys all this festive stuff? Like genuinely WANTS to do it?
I absolutely love it! I spend months thinking of all the gifts for different family members and friends, researching and deciding. I love picking out all the cards and different designs, getting my kids into all the crafting and creating the little name tabs. Wrapping all the gifts to make them look pretty! No, I don’t necessarily have ‘all the time in the world’ but I love it!
Yes, the floor will need a mop, but I won’t do it because I’ll be sat with the kids drawing all the name tag labels. DH will very happily do that instead! Yes, there was washing to put away, but we’re all gonna sit together and hang up the cards in a chosen area of the room. Washing is boring.
Anyone else just find it fun and heartwarming and a reason to be happy? ANYONE?
