So there we were, halfway through September and Christmas posts were
starting to appear on social media. Some were from genuine Christmas
lovers who like me, start getting excited for the season around this
time but some were just to poke fun. Here's one that appeared -
"Go ahead and put that Christmas tree up.
Nothing makes sense anymore."
The
person that shared it stated it wasn't even October yet and it wasn't
okay. Yes, they were right, it wasn't October and no, they were wrong,
it was okay if you wanted to put up your tree.
Considering these same people will put up a photo of themselves sunbathing on the beach with a comment about wishing it was summer already. Do they get blasted for posting a summer photo in the middle of winter? Of course not, and why should they?
What Grinches don't seem to realise is that for some of us, Christmas is more a state of mind than a religious holiday. It's a happy place and in a world that is utterly chaotic right now, we all need a happy place.
So let's just concentrate on what we enjoy and leave others to do the same.
