I hate snow, I hate being in the snow but guess what? It is winter and therefore the season for snow! So please can we all just get on with it as the moaning is getting beyond a joke. Daybreak for example has turned into a show that lacked content and formula, into a show that seems to be just about weather which is, lets face it is 2.5 hours of reporting the obvious.
As the days go by and the UK enters further into chaos the country is once again exposed to be useless. Our systems seem to be filled with people who analyse and talk, though rarely have successful outcomes. Yes the weather can be unpredictable however rather than hiring a scientific weather specialist to find out whether this will be a yearly occurrence, the government should be conversing with the head of transport in Canada, New York and Russia to gain tips and therefore solutions to the ongoing shambles. “Oh no we can’t have that. It’s far too obvious and we can’t let other countries think we don’t know what we are doing” is my assumed and perhaps psychic response from behind the opulent doors of The Houses of Parliament. Members of Parliament remind me of some of the contestants in The Apprentice. The majority are filled with people with a good background in education, excellent work history though lack common sense and ground level knowledge and awareness. Excellent in avoiding taking responsibility and Machiavellian in finger pointing.

Planes are grounded, people are stranded and yet many are complaining that the presents they have bought online will not arrive in time for Christmas. I’m sorry but am I alone in acknowledging how absurd and ungrateful it all sounds? Yes I understand that the weather and lack of preparation has caused a knock on affect in other areas, however many have roofs over their heads, heating and dare I say health. This coupled with the fact that Christmas has turned into a crazed consumerism fest, far removed from the core idea because someone at some point chose to focus on the fact that the three wise men bought gifts, which in today’s embellished story, is now wrapped in Vivienne Westwood wrapping paper designed to bring awareness about climate change… “Hmmm” is all I have to say about that!
Strip away the notion of what Christmas has become, to reveal that it is all about the things that money can’t buy. It is a time for reflecting, appreciating and being around loved ones and nothing to do with how much you spent, what you want and what you received. Although the idea of not opening presents on Christmas is a horrid travesty for most, there is a bigger picture within the seeming disappointment.
With VAT rising and further job loses, spending habits have to change. If so many rely on Christmas being about spending money to make us and others happy, then society this time of year, every year is going to be one big fat moany moany Christmas…Bah humbug to that!
