Thank you for bringing my attention to that advert. It had me roaring with laughter!

I am grateful that I wasn't brought up to celebrate Christmas. Although I find it less endearing that my mother saw fit to ban anything Christmas-y at all from our house, I appreciate that I was then able to embrace what I wanted and reject everything else (which is most of it) when I left home and could make my own choices.

For many reasons, Christmas holds some bad memories, but I choose not to go there and, instead, just enjoy that feeling of being with family, friends, or even alone if I am fortunate enough to get a little bit of that :)
