Xmyth ... that's a good moniker!

It is (with respect to those who believe in it etc), but it's not
mine.


Almost as good as ... Crapmas!


I actually feel sorry for all those who need excuses to be happy, like
having a big wedding when the cost of doing so stops them getting on
the housing ladder for 20 years and they are divorced 5 years later.
;-(

What makes me laugh is all those who give *me* the 'bah humbug' line
when it's them who have bought into the whole commercialism and
*******isation of the (alleged?) event, albeit at a different time in
the year. On top of that they stress themselves out rushing about to
get crap no one wants and buy enough food to feed a small city.

Aww, but they love all the epileptic lights and the fire risk
decorations. ;-)

But I can forgive them as they don't really know what they are doing
or why they are doing it. ;-)

Did they ban glitter on cards, something that was always a major issue
if the Mrs got some under her contact lenses. ;-(
