Just before I start I would like to apologise for the BBC link below....when I actually get around to redesigning the layout of this blog, it will be sorted!
Anyhow, it seems the closer we get to Christmas, the crazier people seem to get. Whether its obvious 'bah-humbuggery' or just, and what I find more upsetting, the deeper, more insidious form of depression and underlying frustration that sets in. The cause of this seems to be either, and the more obvious, financial pressures, to people finding that they are failing in conforming to the 'Christmas Card' family type, a construct that no matter how hard people may try and attain this fictional normality, they have no hope in hell of achieving it, whether it be because they have a split family, or just plainly don't get on with their partner. Or maybe one of the family has to work. Whatever it is, it gets to people. And thats what gets to me. I don't really care if I'm by myself or surrounding by little fucking pixies all Christmas day, watching the Queen and throwing up mince pies, but when people feel inadequate to some impossible to attain bollocks it upsets me. And society. Anyhow, rant over. Here are some cheery Chrsitmas stats. Enjoy.
