The World Of Jadeey

I love Christmas. I really, really do. Buying presents for people, as long as you know what you want to get them, is fun. Receiving presents is super-fun and looking at your wrapped presents wondering what they are going to be is exciting. So, overall, yes I love Christmas. There are, however, a few things I do not love about Christmas and that is what today's blog is about. (Yes, it's list time again.)

Things Holly hates about Christmas

1. Not knowing whether or not you should buy a present for someone
2. The awkwardness of not buying for someone and then finding they bought something for you
3. The awkwardness of spending a disproportionate on someone compared to how much they spent on you (more or less, both are equally akward)
4. Receiving something you don't like and trying to pretend that you love it
5. Giving something the person doesn't like
6. When someone is not a good enough actor to pretend they like a present they actually hate
7. When someone doesn't even care enough about your feelings to pretend
8. Giving someone something they already own
9. Receiving something you already own
10. Knowing what you want to buy someone but not being able to find it anywhere
11. Not knowing what to buy someone that you need to buy for
12. The days and days of stress and cleaning that come with being the host for this year's Christmas
13. Christmas cake (I just really don't like the taste)
14. Pavlova (ditto with the taste thing)
15. The madness of the shops leading up to Christmas
16. That shops are closed on Christmas day yet I ALWAYS end up needing something

Oh, parents are here. I'll stop now and might add some more soon share this: facebook
