Why social media is killing Christmas

It's notorious for fostering feelings of insecurity and jealousy - and now, for making us all want to shop more

Even if you don’t actively cruise the ‘Christmas’ hashtags, your social feeds over the festive period will likely become devoted to smiling, tipsy people wearing Santa hats at parties, crisply-wrapped presents, and stylish trees, heaving with decorations. You may even scroll past houses so extravagantly primped and twinkly that they put even the McCallisters to shame.
It’s enough to make anyone feel like their version of 'festive' is somehow lacking. Not enough cheer, not enough twinkle, certainly not enough presents.

Snap...thats exactly what I was going to say.
Christmas can be airbrushed just like faces and bodies can to show the world how great your life is (online at least) ....it's all bollox.

You have to remember that in order to have a twinkling house, you have to go up a ladder in the wind and rain in order to put the lights up.
