I don't mind it, and the Christmas lights in the houses across the road are quite pretty, but otherwise it passes me by. Ritz crackers and cheese for lunch before watching the Bond film.

You're optimistic it's going to end? “3 weeks to flatten the curve”, been about 86 weeks now. “15 million jabs to freedom”, just passed 130 million. Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program…. |

Andy Williams could not have been more wrong. The most wonderful time of the year my bumhole.
As for religion, I am quite prepared to accept that there MIGHT be some Benevolent Sky Pixie controlling everything (because I am unable to prove otherwise), but the idea that any of the organised religions have got it right is laughable. 2,000 years ago the ancient Romans and ancient Greeks were convinced beyond all doubt that a family of Gods lived at the top of a hill (this was presumably debunked when somebody took the trouble to climb up the hill and find there was nothing there), and things haven't really improved since. We have umpteen different religions which contradict each other, and the only thing they have in common is that they (mostly) all worship the "one true God". The religion I am most familiar with is Christianity, which asserts that the world was created circa 5,000 years ago (so presumably all of those fossils lying around are some kind of elaborate hoax), and our Saviour was born 2,000 years ago. He said all sorts of nice things about tolerance, forgiveness and suchlike, but strangely, many of his most devout followers only seem interested in the bit in Leviticus which was written before our Saviour was born, and concerns the fate of homosexuals in the afterlife. And then there are all the wars the various religions have caused. Oh well. |

Rico,
I see family members spending money that they really can't afford to spend, on cr@p that's neither needed or wanted and it drives me crazy. I refuse to accept presents at [any] time of the year. People ask why. I don't want for anything and I don't need anything. I tell them to keep their money in their pocket. I told my mother "you want to treat me at christmas? leave that money in your purse and put it towards your next energy bill, the next weekly shop even. THAT would give me so much joy." I bet most of us have, at some time in our lives, received a well intentioned gift, paid for with hard earned that the giver probably couldn't afford, and thought "what the hell am I going to do with this?" Don't go there, don't do it, just DON'T imo. A nice card at any time of year, I get that, and it can say, and [mean] so much. |

Agreed - eric
I have carrier bags in the spare bedroom with presents in them from 20 and 25 years ago - Shower Gel, probably, several Beakers, an 'orrible coloured pullover that I will never ever wear, even in the house in the depths of winter, a bloody bath backscrathcher, and goodness knows what else. Used to just bring them home, and dump them in the spare room. Like you eric - If I need something (which is not a lot of things) then I get it. If I don't need it - then I don't want it. The bonus of the pandemic being that charade has become a Non-Runner these past 2 years - Hopefully, it will set a precedent for the future. Need to give them to somebody who goes to car boot sales, or the like.   |

The true new year is 1st April (hence the april fools gag) when the leaves are growing on the trees, plants are seeding, pollen returns, and the sun is higher in the sky and the warmer weather returns
How anyone can enjoy this time of year is beyond me, its misty, drizzly, dark at 3:45 and fooking freezing. I understand the celebrations because its holiday time but stick this weather and short days up your arris |

Who said this?
"Be gone from here and take your infernal Merry Xmas with you". The same fictional guy who said this:- "I live in a world full of fools babbling Merry Xmas to one another. Every idiot who goes about with Merry Xmas on his lips should be boiled in his own pudding and buried with a stake of holly through his heart"! Good old Scrooge. |
