12X WHY DECEMBER IS NOT SO GREAT
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Really? We all sing that very loudly, but do we really believe it? Here at the editorial office, we are all running around heavily burdened like a headless chicken. Deadlines, Christmas parties, buying last-minute gifts, grocery lists, oh, and also a quick trip to the hairdresser at the last minute. Fun, huh, December? There are many more reasons to think of why December is not so cozy. Do you have a moment?
1. You have to search high and low for a nice and especially original party outfit. Are you going for a Zara piece? Then the chance here at the editorial office is high that the colleague on the left shows up in the same jumpsuit. Need to quickly place an order on ASOS? You won't make it.
2. Once you finally find that cute dress, you have to wear tights underneath because yes, December.
3. Cozy inside with red wine by the fireplace? Just give me 25 degrees, an ice-cold beer on my bare feet at some cozy food festival (just kidding about that beer, of course).
4. That gift list that just won't get shorter is a total stress factor. Not joyful at all.
5. A pale face, chapped lips and red, rough hands. Fun, that cold.
“It’s the hap-happiest season of all…”
6. In December, all the parties, drinks, and dinners are crammed in as if January doesn’t exist. And then, yes, we fall stressed into one big hole.
7. All that delicious food we shove down this month has to come off again. Great.
8. That Christmas music is quite nice for a few days, but when it’s really Christmas, Mariah Carey is all you hear.
9. The gym is simply closed on both Christmas Day and Boxing Day. On the two days you need the gym the most, it’s just closed.
10. All those social obligations during the Christmas days; running from one breakfast to another lunch, drinks, and dinner. Ugh.
11. Leaving the house way too late in the morning and then also realizing that you have to scrape the windows.
12. That as soon as December is over, you think spring is coming and the gloves can go back in the closet. It’s a bit of a bummer that winter is just starting now...
It’s the hap-happiest season of all…
Crap. Earrings… Is it shopping night tonight?
