Christmas Spirit

I usually HATE Christmas! I don't know what it is about it that I hate...


Actually I do...

1. They play Christmas music in the shops in October
2. Trying to buy presents on the 24th of December is a task I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy
3. My extended family live in Germany and so Christmas has never been a big "do" as it was always just me and my parents...no strange and quirky relatives to deal with, not enough booze and pulling crackers between 3 can be a bit lame
4. I don't see the point of spending a lot of money buying presents, buying ridiculously expensive flights home and being forced to pretend it's the best day ever!


This year things have changed. I am fully going to embrace the Christmas cheer! I have bought all my presents already (online), I am enjoying the Christmas music and have purchased Michael Buble's latest Christmas CD and the She & Him Christmas CD too! I have bought loads of cool Christmas stationary for making special cards and am making The Boyf his very own unique Advent Calendar, which involves opening an envelope each day with a quote and some sweeties. I have become the worst kind of person...the kind that wishes people "Merry Christmas" on the street 3 weeks early, the Christmas equivalent of Bridezilla :)

Join me in my Christmas madness!

Shattered

My little heart was shattered into a trillion pieces when I heard that Michael Buble got married recently. Seriously? He found someone better than moi? I know it was a long shot, and by long shot, I mean to Venus and back, but still....to find out my dream crooner had married some Argentinian soapie actress, Luisana Lopilato (the alliteration drives me mad), caused me a certain amount of pain.

I haven't LOVED Michael (note first name basis) for his looks, although they aren't bad, I have loved him for his voice. When he opens his mouth and sings, I literally fall in love with him! So much so, that when he performed at Kirstenbosch Gardens in Cape Town, I abandoned my family picnic spot, sprinted to the front and proceeded to scream "I love you Michael" for the full 2 hour show.

I am an admitted groupie, even The Boyf knows I would leave him in a flash for The Buble.

So imagine my horror when I see this.......

and THIS...........

                                                                              ONTD

I can't be nice. She is gorgeous, but that Gypsy wedding style dress is hideous, not to mention that The Buble has packed on a few pounds in the cheek area. And get this..........he offered to sing at the wedding and she said "NO, I want Ricardo Montaner." WTF? Who is that? Who in their right mind asks him not to sing and asks for some unknown loser? Seriously?

While the "happy" couple were tying the knot in Buenos Aires, their home was robbed! See what happens when you don't choose the right person Michael!

 Karma is a bitch!
