Spirit of Christmas?

What is it about Christmas that brings out the worst in some people?
I think the word Spirit has a great deal to do with it.
I went off to work last night at 10pm full of enthusiasim this being the festive weekend and straight away we were called to a pub fight where 30 people were all fighting, the night went from bad to worse , next we had a suicidal young woman who had a fall out with her boyfriend and when inside the ambulance requested that the said abusive boyfriend go along with her to support her!!!!
Then a chap very drunk fallen over and grazed his elbow, followed by a drunken youth who also had words with his girlfriend so decided to punch a mirror , damaging his fingers and not the slightest remorse.
This followed by a search in an area where someone had been seen on cctv supposedly assaulted but no where to be found , and at last a genuine poorly patient , an elderly person with pnuemonia, cannot wait to see what tonight brings with all the happiness and good cheer until the beer takes hold!!!!!

cold, cold ,cold!

Hello,
My goodness the weather has taken a turn for the worse, it is so cold , i heard on the weather news this morning that some places in england will be down to -9 degrees today and that is seriously cold !!!
went to Sheffield yesterday to meet our youngest son and his girlfriend , they are presently living in London , so have come north for Christmas, she is from Japan, and her family roots are Bhuddist so don't really celebrate Christmas like we do here.
They both decorated the tree and there was much excitement as we took all the decorations out of the boxes to put on the real tree,we have seen them so many times ,but Yuriko had never seen them so there was great delight and much laughter as we had a glass of wine or two to help proceedings along, Christmas music in the background and at last we began to feel festive.
Our other son and his partner are coming over on Christmas morning and other family members are coming for a get together and some food and games and present giving.
