As Christmas draws near, it is hard to stomach the spirit so low with only a few families embracing the mood. For one thing, with my family, the celebration began early in November with much fanfare of hunting for the tree and decorations in the garage and dusting them off to start the road of wishing families and friends well. This a season to be merry after all! While my friend on the otherside, whom shall not be mentioned, was dilly dallying and only promised to set up the tree on 16 December. Now, we were on 14 December at the time, and for the life of me, I could not understand this tragic decision to delay such an incredible fest of ushering Christmas in.
