The Long Countdown

Don't you just hate Christmas? Errrr NO! With a only a few days to go before the big day my heart is continually pounding. The only problem is that the countdown this year seems to be going very slooooowwwwww. I try and do things to occupy the time but it just doesn't seem to work, if anything it seems to drag out time even slower. My advent calendar may now be nearly empty but now i see it that way it seems to make the wait that little bit more longer. Getting presents, Christmas lights, decorations and having family gatherings is my perfect Christmas pretty much summed up. It may sound corny but i think i can get away with it ;). The problem is, is that i am so wrapped up in my own christmas that i have no idea how everybody else celebrates and this i would love to hear. e.g do people go away on an exciting holiday, do people not celebrate at all, or do people simply stay at home and have a traditional family Christmas. This i would love to know. My mission for tommorow will be to find out what my friends, other family members and maybe people who i don't know do for Christmas.
