Taking the football completely to the side for the moment... this is probably the least 'Christmassy' I've ever felt all said and done.
First time living on my own this year and it's difficult to get into the spirit of things when there's just really very little going on. Usually in years past I'd be well around the markets by now boozed up to my eyeballs on mulled wine and soaking it in with family & friends but it just hasn't transpired this year. The two work nights I went on this week only involved a handful of colleagues and just didn't feel like 'Christmas nights' at all.
It could potentially improve after this weekend, but I'm struggling to comprehend the fact that it's Dec 22 and I've essentially done nothing.
