Killing Kate !

Tomorrow will be the first day of Summer, so why am I not excited? Summer is great! It's the time for partying, holidays and socialising. Summer would have to be the best time of year, however this year, I'm not even remotely interested in it. In 25 days it will be Christmas. Santa would of come down my chimney, delived all his wonderful presents in my Santa Sack, drunk the beer, eaten the tim tams and feed the carrot to Rudolph. Mum will be waking up early to make sure the house is SPOTLESS before any family step foot in our front door, the turkey and ham will be comfortably in the oven, and she will be running around frantically trying to get all the presents which I kept telling her "I will wrap later" done and under the non-existent tree, instead on top of the fire place next to a stuffed Santa dangling from the open brick fire. This year, there will be no christmas lights shining brightly from our roof, no tinsle covered tree, and definately no christmas carols. And why? Because the christmas spirit has completely vanished from my family. Now, instead of argueing who is going to host the best and greatest christmas between the wives of our family, it's the arguement over who is NOT going to host the Christmas dinner. I remember being so excited about Christmas when I was little. I would swing on my swing and sing every Christmas carol I knew. We went out and cut down a perfect Christmas tree, and we all decorated it together, as a family. We put all the Christmas lights out together, and on hot summery Australian morning, we all opened our presents, together. It really is such a disappointment that today we do nothing, nothing at all as one family. We all have our own lives, all do our separate things. I know that this isn't what it is like for, perhaps most families. However, this is what it's like for mine. There is no joy in Christmas anymore, its like all of the happiness has completely been thrown away, along with last years Christmas lights. 
Well thats all from me today! xoxox
