It's official - I've been kidnapped by aliens

I bought Chrismtas decorations in Sainsburys today.

I am contemplating purchasing a Christmas tree. I've never willingly had a Christmas tree in my life. Which would require another major rearrangement of stuff, as we simply don't have room. Naturally, all the decorations that I covet would look silly on a small tree.[1]

I know I'm depressed - sitting at home on Saturday night and realizing that I am not likely to have an opportunity to do anything fun on a Saturday night in any foreseeable timescale bottomed me out pretty well last night; and winter arthritis is definitely setting in - but Christmas crap? Christmas food cravings I can explain, but tree desire is Bad and Wrong.

Today was brought to us by freezing fog. I love freezing fog, but sadly my joints don't.

[1] History teaches us that inertia will have overcome me by the time it's time to actually purchase one.

I can't bloody stand Christmas but I made a Christmas icon.

Incidentally, I saw this and thought of Snuffles - http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/plush/778d/

Are you and Jason coming to have Christmas cake and stuff on the sunday after next? :)

Jason's probably going to be away with work, with the car, so I'll have to see if I'm up to walking to the bus.

If you would like to be there then I am sure I can persuade Dave into giving you a lift here and back? :)

I love Christmas trees! I have some baubles that have been in my family as long as I can remember, and they're really special. I've got all sorts that I've bought in different places at different times, and unpacking them each year is like unpacking years of Christmasses and happy memories.

Treasure your baubles!

I don't have any Christmas decorations, except for a plush felt Christmas tree-like model with lots of sequins & stuff. It's hard to describe. I made it from a pattern when I was 12. I think it was meant to be a table centrepiece, but it's been my Christmas tree for a while. The problem with Christmas decorations and the nomadic lifestyle is that they are breakable & difficult to transport, and thus I've never acquired any.
