It's a tough Christmas, but someone's got to do it
I hate Christmas. Oh, I'm not some kind of warped Scrooge figure; I hate all public holidays equally. Halloween, New Year's Eve, bank holidays, all of them. The costumes, the enforced jollity, the shops being too busy one minute and shut the next, even though it's a perfectly good Tuesday, paying fifteen quid to not be able to get a seat in the pub you sit in every night...
