Festivity
Christmas is well and truly over and we are slap bang into the start of a new year. Or hadn’t you noticed? Cruising around the shops, look at the nearest retail display and you’ll see that there are no more elves or reindeers, only vulgar 30% Off signs. There is something so cold and commercial about January and its notorious sales that makes me think that we should have a bubbly soundtrack to help us through it. No wonder it’s called the January Blues, the Post-Christmas Blues – we’ve gone from having the loveliest, jingliest tunes pumped into our ears non-stop to having the bleak, cold reality of silence. There are no such things as January carols. But maybe there should be. Perhaps we should turn January into a wonderful month of parties and celebration – it does contain my birthday after all! Street parties and barn dances to celebrate the arrival of a brand new month in a brand new year – now doesn’t that sound nice? The only thing is, what would happen to February? Would it become the new come-down month of doom and gloom after the jollity and frivolity of the January shindigs? Possibly. But then again maybe not, because we have that wonderful commercial festivity that is Valentines Day! Hearts, flowers, chocolates and love songs galore are circulated in Feb so no need to fear the glum-factor sneaking in. We could stretch out the Valentines Day itself to be a Valentines Month! A whole month of love, affection, flirtation and downright stalking! What could be better? But then there’s March to content with. I’m not quite sure what we could do with that. And as for April, maybe that could be a whole month of April Fool’s Days? No, no, that would be very dangerous. Answers on a postcard please?
