Christmas is now officially "next week" and consequently everyone I know is currently bulk buying the mince pies and wrapping paper in a heady festive glow and trying to get me to make New Years Eve plans. But this year I'm afraid it's all just leaving me a bit cold.
I've never been a big fan of Christmas. Too much being trapped in the house with the family is generally involved and I'd rather be basking on a beach than wrapped up in a cosy scarf watching the snow fall.
Don't get me wrong though, I'm no Scrooge. Every year all our friends come round for a roast, mulled wine and games around the tree and I get swept up in party season with the best of them (my facebook photos can attest to that). The family come to me more or less every year for the entire festive season and I always but always buy far more food and presents than are strictly necessary.
But this year I just can't find that festive spirit. I think it must be hiding behind that pile of wedding magazines or possibly has been blinded by the glow of my soon-to-be-bought engagement ring. Because getting married really is more exciting than Christmas isn't it? Is it?
