Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
but your blog is so delightful,
and since we’ve no place to go,
let it show, let it show, let it show.

The songs are dreadful. Can’t even go to a petrol station without having ‘Last Christmas’ rammed into your head. Volumes go up in December by the way.

Festive build-up? Festering breakdown more like…

Fuck Christmas…I fucking hate it and all that goes with it.Stupid fucking food,music and faux cheer from fuckers that’d run a knife through your face every other day of the year.

If I could hibernate through it all I would.

Sounds like someone got hold of some bad gruel and sour mead and the ghost of Christmas Past is paying you a visit. “Gosh Tiny Tim, go to the butcher and buy the biggest turkey in the window and take it to your Ma!”

I’ll admit to loving Christmas music, but only if it’s real Christmas music.

What I don’t count as real (and whose first notes send me into a hulk-like fit of rage) are Frosty the Snowman, Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer (AGH!), Jingle Bell Rock, Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time (whatever it’s really called, and who did that other one, Status Quo or someone?), and the one where the dogs bark Jingle Bells …. oh dang the chest pains have started already. Will have to leave off.

As if i wasnt tortured enough the christams lights were switched on in bray last night and to say the least bray was jammers. i had to nearly do a brian o driscoll rubgy tackle just to prevent myself from getting knocked down by a group of people. This is only the start of things to come.

Thing that really gets gets my goat is the inability to say anything negative about the crass commercial excesses of it all without getting the inevitable “bah humbug” response from someone. Apologies to ‘Charmed.’ Well, not really.
