For the cool factor I would like to claim that I am not all that chistmassy but truth be told I do so enjoy all the sparke and glitter that december brings. Not especially into food or family . But the trimmings yes decorations and fairy lights . As a self confessed lover of all that is shiny. Yuletide brings the perfect excuse for me to tap into my inner Liz T.
As yet 2011 there is no Tink's tinsel-mania that I am able to tap into. In past years I have been known to clap my hands in joy at the sight a twinkle of tinsel. G even bought home a tree with inbuilt twinkle and sparkle one it was plugged in the wall and that was before I tarted it up with more glitter. I am pretty sure he thought that if it already glittered I would add no more ERR wrong I just ladened that fucker up till it was a fire hazard, You may laugh and I do not know why this is so but I LOVE SPARKLE so tinsel has the power to stop me in my tracks. Caught in sunlight or strategically placed retail lighting I am lost. Nothing is to twee or tacky god knows where it stems from maybe I hailed from Las Vegas in a past life. But there it is all I can do is roll with it.
Not this year though I have been in and wandered around the bauble aisles really trying to tempt myself but as yet have walked away with nothing, There is no festive mood brimming. Not even the slightest spark. My collegues are waiting for my annual tinsel chandelier ( yes I know but it is true...). I can see the homes priming and preening but all to no avail,.
So I have done most of the dutiful shopping already but currently lumped in heap on my dining room table waiting to be wrapped and tied. As for the rest .....
So what do you do to avoid Christmas...
