Christmas is a drug

Could Christmas possibally be a drug?

You get the come up, where the excitement builds in your belly, and your general mood lightens, you speak to people you don't usually speak to just because it's the run up to Christmas. You fall in love with the idea of Christmas, you are surrounded and dazzled by lights, and pretty things. Then comes the day, and you have reached the ultimate high, everyone is smiling and bringing their own presence into the day. For the day everyone gets along, even if they wouldn't normally, as they all enter into the spirit of Christmas and leave their disputes at the door.

The day goes on, people eat, drink and be merry, play a game or two, have the Christmas snooze, and as if by magic, suddenly it's all over....

But what comes next? I put it to you that following on from Christmas is the come down. Faced with the reality that in a day or two you will return back to normal. That another year will begin, will another set of trials and tribulations...the high ends and day to day normality resumes.....

Christmas is a drug!
