The moon's too bright, the chain's too tight, the beast won't go to sleep

I loathe Xmas and the runup to it. No, that's not quite true. I do always end up enjoying the day itself, thanks to the fact that I'm lucky enough to have wonderful blood relatives who are actually fun to spend time with. Nevertheless, I still spend December in a state of fear and loathing. I hate the huge fuss that the entire world makes about Xmas; I hate the pressure and expectations, I hate the deadline of present shopping and I will still be glad when it's over.

Today is a good example. I want to spend the morning concentrating on an RP post, but instead I have to go Xmas shopping. Blergh.

I also have another really good reason to want it to be over: Torchwood starts January 26th. I have just seen this trailer, (thank you drewshi!) and I'm gibbering with anticipatory excitement now. Loooooook!!

Edited to add: thank you so much, moviegrrl! I have a disc here for you I haven't posted yet, because I'm an arse. But I love you!
