Christmas is, predominantly, a time for giving, be that to your loved ones or your community. The true spirit of the festive season has always been as much about how much you give as it has been about how much you are treated to, with true happiness, so we’re told, coming from the joy you bring to others.
Well, that only goes so far if you ask me. Like it or not, Christmas is also a time for thinking about yourself, for covetously eyeing up all those things you didn’t have the nerve, or the cash, to buy for yourself during the rest of the calendar year. The arrival of Santa and Michael Bublé provides the perfect justification for splashing out on that audio tech you’ve been ogling for the past eleven months, or at least the opportunity to ask your nearest and dearest to shoulder that financial burden on your behalf.
