Is Christmas really the happiest time of year? Christmas. Every year we count down the days with chocolate behind tiny doors, watch the same old Christmas movies as the year before - to the point where I think I could recite Nativity word for word - and eat so much food that, in hindsight, it becomes sheer gluttony.
