It’s just awful and like smoking if someone tried to invent it today, it would be banned almost instantly.
Xmas Day is all right, the kids enjoy it, I stay slightly, but not too pissed all day, we’ve got some outlaws coming over this year, I’ll still be glad when it’s over. I sound slightly evil – but when everyone else hits the late afternoon sense of anti-climax feeling I want to get on my soapbox and scream “SEE, I TOLD YOU, ITS CRAP, IT’S ALWAYS BEEN CRAP AND SPENDING 3 MONTHS GETTING ALL GIDDY ABOUT IT WHILST YOU SPEND, EAT AND DRINK TOO MUCH WONT CHANGE THAT, YOU’RE FOOLS AND DESPITE ALL THIS YOU’LL GLADLY BE FOOLED AGAIN NEXT YEAR YOU MUGS”.
Mostly though I just sit there, take a deep breath and count my lucky stars that at least the days are getting longer again.
