Am I in touch with the 21st Century or not? I feel as if someone has pressed my "fast forward" button and all events are compressed. I am rushing and rushing. Why do I feel like this?
At the beginning of October I noticed a display for Christmas hampers in my local supermarket. "Ah" I said "the season is upon us". A few days later in the same supermarket there was another display for Halloween, complete with large pumpkins. My thought then was how inconsiderate of us to use an item for "fun" when some people would be glad to eat it. Finally there was another display for fireworks - another way to burn money.
I thought that we could have Easter in January, and put all the other holidays together - then we need not work at all. Life would be one long Christmas, Halloween and Guy Fawkes rolled into one.

Sometimes I find myself going numb walking around the shops when I see Christmas cards in October or Easter Eggs in January.
But I wouldn't like all the holidays & festivals rolled into one!
