Continuing the Christmas theme I thought it prudent to mention my hatred of this particular holiday. Here is why

its not the commercialism
its not the increased price of petrol
its not the ridiculous lack of taxi’s
its not the annoyingly large crowds on the inane search for the perfect gift
its not the pretending to like people who you really don’t care to much for
its not the good will that will soon disappear
its not the ridiculously hot day that rolls around every year
its not the Christmas carols that can’t disappear fast enough
its not the inter-office secret Santa gifts that should be set on fire
its not the rubbish that seems to take over all television channels

IT IS because after all these months of hearing about it, counting down, advertising and ‘Christmas cheer’ we only get 2 official days off work. What a gip!

So I have decided that I will take a leaf out of one of my favourite TV characters scripts. This year is a Festivus for the rest of us. Instead of a tree, we will have an aluminin pole with no decoration. I find tinsel distracting. There will be no presents, instead we will tell all the people around us how they have disappointed us over the last year!

Sorry to rain on your parade if you like this holiday, but I personally believe the whole dam thing is a crock of crap! Or maybe I need to take some sort of medication to be able to join the rest of you.

Fair thee Festivus!
