I had been enjoying the thought the Christmas and Festive time is ongoing . Actually , I am not especially fond on Christmas celebration . But this year I had had warm feelings toward this particular time . Till today . I was able to see another face of Christmas . Just last early afternoon ,when commuting. I started wondering when waiting for the bus, why to helll the car traffic was so busy and the bus late.In general a communication disruption was evident . What was the reason ? We have had still some ten days to Christmas Holliday . Nobody is leaving yet the town , nobody coming .Suddenly I realized- people were coming to do Christmas shopping . So did delivery trucks - bringing the stuff needed . And when I looked around , I could see many people were carrying big shopping bags . People had rushed as Christmas promotions had started , and to buy Christmas gifts .You can find everywhere these adverts ; in newspapers ,TV, on Internet .We have been bombarded from all directions by ads . I have read recently that 60 % of Scots had declared they would take bank loans to cover spendings for Festive time .
That simple fact made me feel a bit sick . What the Christmas ar - just blind chase for something we are sure is necessary to have , in order to have happy Christmas . Like Lemmings' urge to run in large numbers to unknown land . Isn't that sad ?
