"T" minus two weeks

Two weeks to go....hang on to your hats!!!

Well....another Christmas has reached it's destination. People are already rushing around, TV ads promoting the latest fashion, toys occupy most of the aisles in the Hypermarkets, wine is offered as if it were going to be the last day you'd be able to drink it, seafood price hits the roof...

Amazingly shopping centres are bursting with people, "caganers" of an outstanding size are "sharing their spirit", and what I personally like is all those wonderful photos next to the 1mt dump!

Outlets appear everywhere, as if Santa were giving them away. Enthusiastic shoppers practice weight lifting with all those "important gifts", "must haves", etc. For a moment we seem to be forgetting our debts, our personal situations; we all just rejoice with the collective madness.

Humans are the most intriguing of all the races...sometimes the most irrational in spite of all that has been said.

But, do not be mistaken; we at The English Man, love Christmas, the Christmas spirit and most of all the true meaning of it. Share, Love and Good Will to all. These "antique values" seem to have fallen back; time seems to have left them "behind", they don't seem to be needed.

It just feels a little weird.... all the fuss, all the hassle, all this lack of responsibility that we sometimes see. Comments stated above might sound harsh, rude, too hard or maybe something The Grinch would say; to all of those who feel this way, we say: sorry, but it is something that we feel must be said. I just hope the three ghosts of Christmas do not visit me...or The English Man.

Nevertheless, we promote good will, happiness and laughter to all. May you all have happy Holidays and see you soon!

Remember to send the most important Christmas E-Cards and to buy your last minute presents. If possible from our bookstore!.

Once again: MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY 2011
