Christmas is real unlike the illusion called "Summer" promising us long hot days when the reality is rain, Cheap holiday getaways, When the reality is the Airline company will go down taking all your money and leaving you stranded and miserable etc..
With our summers being a washout year after year it's no wonder that Christmas is the highlight of our year because with Christmas we know it's going to be freezing, miserable and we will put on weight, spend all of our wages and will tolerate hated friends and relatives into our homes with forced smiles. Yep unlike summer at least we know whats coming with Christmas.
