Bar Bloody Humbug

Christmas is at our throats again. A pagan festive high jacked by Christians and claimed by it proponents to promote a desirable "spirit,'' making people "jolly," etc.,

The evidence show that the Christmas period is marked by environmental degradation, hazardous products, travel and inefficient uses of key resources and perhaps most important stress.

So you would think with the above knowledge that laws would be passed to limit or better get rid of the festive period.

I particular hate Christmas music that now blaring out of speakers in ever shop you visits. Every time I hear  Band Aide "Do they no its Christmas" or that Slade song "Merry Christmas Everyone" I feel the urge to hang myself from the nearest chandelier.

For me starting on Christmas Eve and finishing on New Years Day are the most boring and unproductive for me. I don't have any family or get invited to any parties so the period drags and drags.

Last year I sat at home with a microwave meal and bottle of tawny Port and it seems it going to be the same this year. Although I have secured some magic pixie dust to help through the festive period.

Roll on new year, Bar Bloody Humbug

Don't let anyone here stop you.

There are various ways you can start on-line petitions now Missy. Good luck with this. I think you need 100,000 before anyone will take much notice. Here is a link:

Christmas ain't great for everyone and if you don't have family,why not use December to broaden your social circles to meet people like yourself and I don't mean a Turkey dinner either...Nights out in wine bars,cocktails putting the world to rights etc...Despite your apparent 'Hard,mean and sarcastic shell' there's a sense of humour in there that shows itself from time to time and NO-ONE should spend Christmas alone.

Never let it be said that I don't have any Christmas spirit.
