This week i went out shopping with my daughter and we saw the first x-mas decorated shop. I had to go in there. It was a card/gift/craft shop and i got all exited walking round in there. Until i started to look at the prices of the stuff. When i said to Mette, this is bloody pricy, she said: you said the same thing last year dad. Hmm :P Though you could make a discussion just about the price of x-mas this is not what this discussion is all about lol. When i got home i found myself in a weird mood. I have learned to love x-mas time and the tradition and history of it, and my house will always be timely decorated for the seasson. But never before at the earlieat the 4th sunday before x-mas. Usually it is this process of decorating and the looks of it, that awakens my x-mas spirit. I have always thought it is redicilous how the commercial lunatism of x-mas starts earlier year by year, and usually i am fed up with this weeks before x-mas is there. Same with the music, they start play it in radio shops restaurants all over the place. But this year i feel very different about it. I think i realized other day that i have come into some kind of pre-mature x-mas spirit. I simply had to find the candles (think i had 25 lit arround my lounge and put one of my fav, Boney M's x-mas album in the hi-fi. Mette came in at some point to see what was happening. She loved it and stayed in my company for almost an hour, talking about x-mas and what we will do this year. Now what is the concerning part of this story is: I am for the first time in my life mentally ready for x-mas in the beginning of October. Some years i did not even to manage to catch it before x-mas has gone. Could many years of commercial subconcious brainwash and indoctrination finally have got the better of me? Is that a possibility? Is this ole rebel finally conforming? Scarry thought. PS. Worse thing about it is that i actually feel good about it :)
