I'm not a Christmas person, all too commercialised. Getting bombarded with advertising as though you've got an endless supply of cash to spend on crap you don't want or need.
As for people being on their own and lonely, that is a year round issue. Can never understand why it's made such an issue at Christmas, but forgotten about by the New Year.
One of the things I've realised as I've got older is, its not about the gifts and money lavished on one another, alot of the time it's as simple as just spending time with people.
Bah Humbug.
