Whilst stood freezing my balls off this morning swapping some outside lights
I received a text message from TMH. It was quite a funny text and with
frozen fingers I decided to forward it to a friend.

By accident I sent it the the local ASBO officer who hates my guts as I won
in court when he tried it on.

TMH can retype the text as I now need to defrost.

Was it, "Read this message then forward it to 10 other ****s" :-?

Did you send it more than once?

No and no.

It said

"MERRY CHRISTMAS.....A bit early I know, but I know so many beautiful and
happy people...I thought I'd start with the miserable arumentative ****ers
first."

And you, eat drink and be merry, and may Christmas cheer lift you up and
light up your life.

Btw, that line above sounded a lot funnier in my head last night than it
looks on screen today, and less ambiguous, no offence intended to you or
TMH.

Merry Christmas all (yes, even the killfiled ones).

None taken.

It's still too early, or are you saying that we are all miserable
argumentative ****ers:-)?

Had ours a week ago (for various reasons), fine but not a blowout, 2
ibuprofen and a pints of water before bedtime and I was right as rain.

You might think that, I couldn't possibly comment.

I'm mostly ignoring Xmas - minimal effort for the kid's benefit (tree,
advent calendar and pressies) and we will have Xmas dinner.

But all the commercialised crap like endless card writing and binging and
bad TV will be ignored - I shall enjoy a beer or three, but won't be getting
ratted.

"Accidently" avoided the works do too. Been working nights from home doing a
VMWare migration - decided I really could not be arsed to take a train to
London just to go to the pub.

Happy Winter Solstice (that's on the 22nd Dec this year, BTW) :-

I was going to use the more specific name of Yule(tide) but that's been
subverted...

I don't mind Xmas as a religious festival for those who care, but when a
large number of people have it in the guise of a eat+drink+bemerry festival,
you might as well call a spade a spade.

It's mostly the vomit-inducing commercialism and the "expectations" that
**** me off on either camp.



We're going back to basics here - about as far as possible without totally
offending family (such as it is).

Tree - tick, OK - the kids did it up and it looks pretty. It's plastic so no
buggering about involved.

Cards - well, OK, need a few, but we printed a few that daughter drew
herself (sorry Hallmark).

Pressies - strict instructions that all I want to see personally is some
choccies, or nothing. Need our money to fix the house. Kids will get one
pressie each that is actually proper fun/useful.


Food - no problem with a feast once in a while. We usually cook a good
quality chicken or duck as it's enough for a good meal and tastes better
than a fat-arsed dried to death took 19 hours to cook turkey. And some
cheese, nibbles and beer for odd visitors. Not much extra on a normal shop.

TV - bugger that. Looked on the Topfield PVR for the next week's worth of
films. All repeats AFAICS. Even the cinemas have sod all worth watching.


Did pick up a game of Monopoly (some habits die hard). Got the Spongebob
version. Same rules, more appealing for the kids. I play Squidward of course
(who else?). Very surprised that my 6 year old son was even into it, for a
whole hour before he "resigned". I thought that would last 5 minutes.
Daughter (8) was marked down as a Donald Trump as she bought everything in
sight and mullered the missus So that's the pastimes sorted. Have pack of
cards as backup.

I'm actually enjoying this winter break (or I will when I finish working) as
expectations and obligations have been run into the ground, so we might
actually have a bit of fun while everyone else is googling online divorce
services ;-

It can be amusing to see Father Christmas and reindeer against a
backdrop of people in swim suits around a pool and feluccas on the Nile,
but otherwise I do my best to avoid Christmas.
