Angels we have heard on high tell us to go out and buy

Greetings world,

Just felt the necessity to reintroduce the spirit of the grinch and Ebenezer Scrooge into the proceedings early and to wish you all a happy Easter.

Yes friends we are barely into mid-September and already our office Christmas parties have been booked and Sainsbury's have the Christmas selection boxes out on display. Now people assume that I am against Christmas because I have lost the magic of the children. These people are deluded. I don't like Christmas because it has become a crass, over-hyped, over-commercialised gluttony fest. I resent the likes of Sainsbury's and Tesco trying to induce me to part with money for Christmas when we have barely escaped summer (and I use that term advisedly in the UK). At least this year Sainsbury's are multitasking in that they are still pushing Halloween.

If people treated these festivals more for what they are than for what profit they can make the world would indeed be a better place.

Right I will now take off my sepia tinted spectacles and go and buy cards in bulk from St Clintons.

Enjoy

By the way 10 bonus points for any body who can tell me where the title for this post came from. And just a word to the smart alecs out there I do actually know I was just wondering if anybody else was as cultured as what I am.
