Things about Christmas you positively hate

I still haven't and now don't expect to receive a Christmas card off the neighbour I sent one to. I'm not mad, more wondering why. I'm going for the best option that she received so many she forgot I'd sent one, plus she's getting on a bit so she probably thinks she's posted one through my door. 🤔 Ah well, if I'm still here next year (and her as well) I'll post another one, but one of those 3 quid types, not a cheapo one and see if she still doesn't send one back. 🧐

I thought is a strong and weird reaction to not receiving a card.

Today, this appeared:

I still have the few Christmas cards I received, here and there in my flat and the few I couldn't be bothered to open. I think I'll open the unopened ones on a hot summer's day in June or July like I did last year, pretending it's Christmas Day, but I'm in Australia not Accrington! 🤔 🧐

So are cards important to you or not? If you can't be bothered to open cards for months on end, it makes your first reaction something of a hissy fit!
Perhaps in June/July, you'll discover the neighbour did send a cad. We'll wait for your update.

But if I heard someone "couldn't be bothered" opening my card for months, I'd cross them off my card list.

Whatever you're taking, I want some of it!

why is "god" sensible?

Because he did talking snakes, magic fruit, burning bushes and such like, and wrote about it in a book that has the first use of the phrase; “hung like a donkey…”

For once icowden ,you speak sense.
But Deities I do not believe in tho'
.
I think the Fates do , their prime existence is to spread doom and gloom for anyone, prime example is the puncture fairy, nearly always a rear wheel , in the most horrid weather.

Not necessarily so, the broken gear-cable fairy (Sturmey Archer branch) helped me meet the present Mr. Bunny.

The unopened cards are from folk who handed them to me, not posted through my letterbox, so I know the neighbour who didn't send me one doesn't have one in that pile. Those who sent the unopened cards know I haven't opened them, as i told them my plan to open them on a hot summer's day in June or July. They seemed to find it a quaint, eccentric idea, but also nice, as instead of their cards just being looked at for a few seconds then put with all the rest one receives over Christmas, their cards will be 'specially opened' and fully read in such bizarre circumstances! I might even go the whole hog and have a mince pie and a finger glass of sweet sherry as I open and read them! 🧐

Oh there you go, turning a Negative into a positive, or is it the other way round, not sure!

One must always strive to think and act positively rather than negatively, wouldn't you say. 🧐
