Oh .. and its also an excuse for those who wouldn't dream of setting foot inside a Church at any other time .. to suddenly develop an overwhelming desire to sing Carols (badly, whilst totally shit-faced) ..
And for those who trot out the moth-eaten excuse .. "Its all for the children" .. fail to grasp the fact that one could get precisely the same result & reaction from kids in the middle of July, given a front room full of shiny new toys ..
It sounds like Santa hasn't been to that house for quite some time.
ReplyDeleteWhat's to like about Christmas ?
ReplyDeleteAn event set around myths & legends, none of which are capable of proof (whether Pagan or Christian) ..
Just an excuse for a multitude of companies to make an enormous profit from the gullible ..
An excuse for the cretinous to buy prodigous amounts of food, half of which will get thrown away ..
An excuse for the hypocritical to send Cards to people with whom they have no contact for the rest of the year ..
Just think .. only another 15 days & the whole tawdry charade will be over for another 12 months .. Yippee !!!
@ CH - I couldn't agree more!!

People who dislike Christmas must dislike children.
