I am really, really sick of Christmas. I'll buy my sprogs a prezzie or two but that's it. No decorations, no cards, nothing. I've had enough.
Somewhere, underneath it all there is a religious festival, but it's long gone and now it's just an excuse for excessive consumption.
Scrooge had the right of it.
Bah, humbug.
