"Christmas is Dead"

You know that awkward moment, when you're sitting in a taxi and you're trying your best to stir up a conversation, because ya'know it's polite (and it'll shave a few euro off the fare hohohoho). Well today I decided to bring up the topic of Christmas time, as we drove through a busy Longford Town!

He told me he was looking forward to Christmas day, spending time with his family and eating like a king. He seemed a little disappointed though. As he rambled on ( and boy did he ramble) he finally caught my interest when he uttered the words: "Christmas is Dead" . Instantly I thought, how could Christmas be dead? I started to notice around the town that there was no Christmas atmosphere at all. The town, despite being busy, felt kinda dead. The christmas lights looked nice and all but it just didn't feel like it was near Christmas time!

People should be out on the streets playing Christmas songs, busking. Busking for my pleasure! It would really add to the atmosphere. Alot of people would probably disagree with me on this, but I think it'd be nice to be reminded that Christmas is around the corner.

Well I'm not gonna let this christmas be spoiled by Longford Town, that's for sure! I'm going to County Cavan, WAHEY! Turkey sandwiches galore. I'm sure my family and friends will create the perfect Christmas atmosphere :)

I wish it looked like this outside!
