Christmas Is Coming
Tue Sep 14 2004

Popped into department store today. OMG – they’ve started to display …Christmas goods for sale!!! Yep, that’s right: it is a middle of September and there are lines of Santas and piles of tinsel in Debenham’s! Soon we might start to bump into Christmas trees when walking in the streets!

I wonder if the same madness going on everywhere or is it – just me being the first lucky beggar to spot the First Christmas Sign? Ho-Ho-Ho…Merry Christmas, crazy ppl!

Hmmmm...
Just to remind myself of Time Of Year:

The flowers of autumn days
Are sweeter than the firsts of plains.
For they awaken an impression,
That’s strong, although it may be sad,
Just as the pain of separation
Is stronger than the sweet of date...

    I sense some angst here along with some sarcasm.

    Who needs friendship? I do. But selectively.

    Peace, MissTick. Peace.

    Only in the craft store so far. And that kinda doesn't count, because if you want to do a Christmas craft project, you are going to need your plastic santas and everything.... so I didn't get too wigged out about it.

    WOW,
    I have seen one decorated fake tree, that is it. You need friends and you have them here and I am sure in your real world as well. We are human so we need companionship, at the least someone to talk to. I have DD now and it has made all the difference since I work at home and see the few friends I have rarely. I think it is important and I know you do too. Hope you feel better, must be the time of year (or month).
