Doesn’t everybody love mince pies?
No.
I’ve been largely indifferent to Christmas for years, with increasingly elderly parents who weren’t that bothered about it, I couldn’t even be arsed to turn on the lights in the windows.
That said, I don’t mind the present thing, I have a small circle of friends who I like finding interesting things for, and they do the same.
This year may be a bit different, both my parents are now gone, but I’ve got a girlfriend after years of being single, and I get on well with her mum, (I first got to know them over twenty years ago, when they owned a local pub I used to go to), and she has two grown daughters, so quite a change.
