I need not tell readers that Christmas is near. There seems to be so many imperatives around at this time of the year what you "have to" do. The local radio station had a phone in recently about how it was possible to do Christmas for less than £185 for two adults and two children. Callers variously thought this was mad or very admirable. There was a strong sense that certain things had to be done. The Christmas meal for the family was high on the list. There was not many voices asking WHY there were such powerful imperatives at work in late December.
How have so many people fallen into the trap of having to endure Christmas, eat food they do not really like, give gifts they can ill afford and, so on....
I would be glad to learn others' views on the Christmas rituals.
