Getting ready for Christmas?

I am. It's time for me to start thinking about the presents, find some free time to decorate the house and the Christmas tree, buy some new stuff to replace the old or broken things.
I know. Like all the other holidays, Christmas is getting a commercial holiday, its religious or spiritual meaning getting lost. Bla bla bla. I'm not in the right mood for moralistic comments. I'm not saying I don't agree with that but I think that nowadays we sholud objectively admit that spirituality is loosing its importance while on the other hand in a period of crysis it's not that bad wheter people have a good reason to spend a bit of their money to be happy together, giving some relief to our economy.

Christmas is my favourite holiday of the year. It warms your heart while outside it's snowing. It gathers families, it's a moment of joy. It has got a own special atmosphere.

This is a strange period for me. My best relationships are growing at the University, while in my family they're getting a bit... boring, dull, trivial... almost detached. And I don't think this is the right way they should be.

I hope this Christmas will set matters straight.
