As anti-commercial whingers tend to remark, Christmas is starting earlier every year. And I have no reason to disagree, as it seemed this year to have ended by the 7th of December, when I sat down to Christmas dinner for the second and final time that week. In fact, as I’ve spent the rest of the month slogging through overcrowded shopping centres, and watching ancient repeats on TV, I’ve come to the conclusion that Christmas is actually dragging on a bit.
But don’t let such contrivedly-symmetric Scroogery get you down! It’s Christmas Day, and wherever you are, I hope you have a great day.
PS. If you’re lucky, maybe you’ll get some slush at the New Year.
