Christman blues............

It's already the 3rd of the December, funny I thought just yesterday was summer, my little girl is now virtually a teenager..... a little worrying for me, I am honestly not looking forward to that.... Not that I do not want her to grow up, but I am a little worried about everything that is going on in the world... I just wish I could put my little baby in the coccoon and protect her from all the madness of the world, my son is now at University and by all standards a grown man, but I still can not get their childhood images off my head. The older they get the more they become more distant, unpredictable and quiet frankly the more expensive they become.... one can no longer buy just any barbie doll or an action man figure, everything they wish to have is not less than £70.00, now does every parent feel that X-mass is now becoming more commercial than a festive season??????????? I do wish to have a fantastic festive session, but I do feel that I might not be able to meet the standards that our today's children demand. I can just about remember when we use to share clothes and toys between siblings, but that is no longer the case. If I go and buy anything on the cheap thinking it would do the job, it ends up on the bottom of the wardrobe, and probably never be used, so in essense I have just wasted my money...., times are changing rapidly, and I am afraid is not for the best of everyone, even for the well off and people with old money...., but everyone is indeed feeling the pinch. One thing for sure is I do intend to have a fantastic X-mass, because December is one month that I can not easily forget, my first child was born in it........... to make it even more significant to myself is that it was on the night before NEW YEAR'S EVE...... now how do you forget that???? I just wish to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very merry X-mass, just in case I get so caught up on all this X-mass mayhem. Enjoy yourselves and Bless you all. PEACE TO THE WORLD.
