OK, so despite what the title of this blog post may suggest, I actually love Christmas; the eating, the drinking, more drinking, the mince pies…. But I always get that ‘elephant in the room’ feeling around the festive period, as everyone works so hard to perpetuate the myth that anything, and everything, related to Christmas is just plain fab.
Well it’s not.
Christmas inspires the same feelings in most people that any other family gathering does; the build up is so intense that you’re exhausted by the time the event actually comes round, the fact that you have to spend time catching up with Auntie Barbara and Uncle John, whose lives you actually have absolutely no interest in, the inherent ability of every family to turn any social engagement into a fee-for-all form of group therapy… problems shared that merely result in gossip.
And don’t get me started on the crap presents; you feel like screaming “hello?! Have you actually met me?? Do I look like the type of person who uses scented drawer liners, wears hideously clashing socks and is incapable of purchasing my own underwear??”
If you answered yes to any of the above then check out our new site: www.mycrapchristmas.comIt’s where people like us can go and vent our spleen… and raise a festive glass to all things crappy this Christmas. What’s not to love?
