'Emerging from the winter months, I have the urge to throw things away'

Getting into the Christmas spirit with Emma Richardson
A few weeks ago, I suddenly realised Christmas was coming! It’s weird to think I had been, fairly, unaware of the upcoming festive period! However, it's like I've learnt to create a filter in which I can, largely, ignore the commercialism and the culture which is trying to persuade me to part with my money. I rarely go to the bigger chain stores but if I visited in October or November I'd, pretty much, avert my eyes when passing the Christmas aisles. In fact all that sparkle practically hurt them! I realise I sound very "bah humbug" and I know by this point I am at risk of losing the lovers of Christmas amongst you. But, to me, focusing on Christmas so early is exhausting and stops me noticing the beauty of the changing of the seasons in the autumn months.
