Chapter Twenty Five - Bah, humbug!

Is it Christmas again, already?

Bah, humbug.

I'm not a fan of Christmas. It's a time when cheery people force you to be happy by proclaiming: "Cheer up, it's Christmas!"

If I want cheering up, I'll do something cheerful. I wouldn't be fighting over the last 40" High Definition TV on Black Friday. I wouldn't voluntarily be crushed to death in the Trafford Centre. And neither would I exchange petty pleasantries with people I don't really get on with - my work colleagues!

So, I'll quite happily be Mr Scrooge this year, put my head down and get on with the rest of my life throughout December. Because, even though it's December and Christmas time, all the other crap that we do throughout the other 11 month of the year still needs doing. Go to work and pay the bills etcetera.

The only difference is I get people telling me to be happy.

Be happy in December...? The weather is bloody miserable!
