I didn’t spend much time researching this – my suspicions were immediately confirmed – most people prepare for a rubbish Christmas. Because lets face it enforced jollity is rubbish.
Other things which are rubbish include paper crowns – which only serve to empathize that while royalty flounce around in gold head wear, you have little more than paper to adorn your heads. Cracker jokes which highlight that as well as being poor, we’re also not funny. Music channels in December are also rubbish and consist only of charts like “All the Christmas number 1s of the past 273 years.”
On the bright side there’s Christmas Eve when we can still pretend that the following day might be fun. Or try hard to drink enough to leave us only semi alert for the whole of the day after. And boxing day when we can thank the baby Jesus and all the reindeers that its another 52 weeks until we have to do it again.
And also Noddy Holder – who lets him out of his box every December?

Bah Humbug! Christmas is a load of rubbish!
Could we have a New Year’s resolution for more frequent posts though?

Dear Carolink,
Blog, damn you.
It’s almost as if you’ve got something more interesting to do.
