I hate this time of year. I've never been a big fan of Christmas, or at least the lead up to Christmas and even things like my big day out with KfW2 or Christmas parties don't do enough to offset the other stuff - the pressure of buying the right present etc.
I've only one person left to get for this year - my sister - and I'm hoping that a well-timed call to my brother-in-law will, if not solve the issue, at least point me in the right direction. That means I can get everything wrapped before next week and I can enjoy the week before Christmas. Well... not enjoy per se, but not get stressed about it.
What I've always loved, though, is that period after Christmas, in the lead up to New Year's Eve. At least this year I know that I won't be going anywhere, so the frustration of trying to pin down S or GM, for example, for a night out.
But traditionally, I've caught up with friends who have come home or socialise with people I don't get to see as often as I should. That's not likely to happen this year either.
2021 should be a big year, for many reasons at a personal level, so there's at least something to look forward to.
