Thursday Thoughts: December

November is, in my opinion, one of the most boring months around. But hey, it's outta here! December, in contrast, is action-packed! Think about it there's all the shopping, getting the holidays organised, shopping, making the preparations for Christmas, shopping, visits from relatives, oh and did I mention the shopping? Then when that's out of the way, you get down to the best day of the whole year - Christmas! If that's not enough, only a few days later it's the end of the year and it's time to party!
December is to the calendar what Ireland is to the world - a breath of fresh air!
So with that in mind, what are your plans for this crazy month? In particular, what are your plans for Christmas?
Myself, I look forward to getting some new clothes (though I hate the actual shopping), I look forward to the delicious Christmas meal with turkey and stuffing, I look forward to watching what will hopefully prove to be great TV (could we send Ryan Tubridy to the South Pole maybe? I know Santa's not there, that's what would make it fun), I look forward to hopefully attending a few parties (can't forget the mistletoe), and last but by no means least, I look forward to having the opportunity to sit back, relax and take in the holiday spirit.
I hope you all have a great December, a great Christmas and a great New Year.
Beannaigh sinne, a Dhia.
