Load of old crap
The Festive consumer who ends up consumed in the feast.
Hey Sludge,
I don't bother posting much nowadays but I am piqued by you message.
Christmas is an interesting time, the overt Christian implications but, ultimately, commercial overlay makes it a difficult time to reconcile.
Talking to a Christian friend years ago he said, basically, don't make the mistake of thinking of it is a Christian festival any more. But, treat it as a time you know you will catch up with family, old mates returning home etc and if it is a time of gifts then try to give it them purpose.
Probably totally unhelpful, but as we close in on the midwinter festival, I hope you and yours have a good one.
I quite like Christmas, but not before December the twenty-something.
People (esp shop managers) who put deccies up and play carols in Sept/Oct need to be taken out and shot.
Whats not to love about xmas.
Cant wait till every fecker on social media is discussing the magic and wonder of the new john Lewis advert.
Or a bunch of fat fekers worshiping at the sight of the coca cola truck winding its way through their town.
Calling it now, the new John Lewis ad will be accompanied by a slowed down, piano version of a Bowie classic. Possibly Heroes.
Over a week off work to go to the pub and eat loads. Sitting in your pants watching TV all day.
I will never complain.
Feck me, you guys are edgy. Can't wait to see what you say about Easter.
ROFLCOPTER
Bollocks to the lot of you - I'm looking forward to it. The telly, the food, the time off, the presents and spending quality time with my familly.
SHOW a little sensitivity to people with depression when buying them a Christmas hamper, by not including any crackers, nuts or fruit cake.
I'll name names: Bluebird Since 1948, happily pisses himself as he trundles along in his motability scooter. Sludge Factory, who's been on the sick for 18 months with a sore throat, spends every day watching Jeremy Kyle, Loose Women, etc, while lounging in a chair dressed in nothing but a string vest and posing pouch or, in colder weather, a Liverpool FC onesie.
Not wanting to yet again the experience the onslaught of Slade, Cliff Richard, Wham, Jona Louie, The Great Escape, The Snowman and The Queen's Speech, I purchased cheap flights to Salzburg for Christmas. Out on Christmas Eve, back on Boxing Day and a tour of the mountains and lakes on Christmas Day itself. All cheap as chips.
