Indoctrination of commercialism.


Its no secret, i despise this time of year, false cheer, people speaking to you on a temporary basis. " come over for a drink on boxing day" you hear, "well what about the other times of the year?" you say, they say nothing... 
This sums up the falseness of the time of year, the commercial overkill, the political TV commercials, its getting way out of hand. 

Don't get me wrong when my sons were children I made it the best Christmas they will ever have, they now can pass this on to their own. 
I read an article in a local rag (and im being kind calling it that) that the lights of Chester city centre are more "Beautiful than Venice" okay I thought that's a visual challenge, their own photograph supplied was dire and did not inspire.
I get to Chester and my heart sank...Ever had that feeling of getting something for Christmas and only to find its not what you had wanted? This was that Christmas moment for me. It was pathetic, the lights were dull at best.
The city of Chester does not need lights to make it beautiful, its speaks for itself. It is Beautiful. 
Ill also add that the centrepiece is the clock tower, and guess what? Yep, not even a set of lights draped over it, a missed opportunity to draw more into the centre, councils, they make me sick! 
I had to make it work. tomorrow will be the Christmas lights i made for myself.
