Christmas - Yes or No?

I'm not looking forward to Christmas. And in my grump, I remembered feeling exactly the same thing at exactly the same time last year. I even blogged about it.

Maybe I just need to hear Slade to get me in the festive mood?

I am a Christmassy person, I love it all and yes, I did the meme thing last year which I sent to Kaz. It's the build up to it that I don't like, too commercial, too stressed already. Bah humbug, etc.
