During the same time of the year, I keep taking looks at my Christmas Tree, all my house still dressed up in splendour. Everything twinkling, it's so beautiful. And I know I have to do the very boring job of taking everything down. Even my doctor told me that! But if only I can make it last just a little more. There is no other time which sparkles like Xmas. The next sort-of-celebration will be Valentine's Day, but there's nothing sparkling there, just roses. Oh yes there are rings to sparkle too, but I guess at 35 you're not that enthusiastic as when you were 16. At least it's that way for me. Then there's Easter, which I hate because I do not celebrate the death of anybody. I think about the people who have crossed onto the other side (if there is another side), and I wish they were here sometimes. But sadly it isn't the way the world works. So there really is nothing to shout about Easter. Oh I know He rises from the dead, but since this has been given to Him only I don't think it's fair and hence I don't want to think about it. Summer, ok so there are summer holidays, but still nothing sparkly except for the beating sun, the droplets of sweat, arghhh I hate it.
I'm just keeping the sparkle for a few more days, they'll be down soon enough.
