Surely you'd just cancel it and make everyone work it instead 😂 I don't mean everyone must love all of it, that would be impossible 😂 Only that there are some folk who seem to like banging on about how much they hate it all and how they'd rather be at work. Fine ok if you hate it, just don't tell me about it 100 times and expect me to be impressed by your anti-Christmas rants or think I should apologise because I enjoy it and am looking forward to it.

I love Christmas, I love all it represents and I can't even get too grumpy about celebrations beginning before 12th night. In fact for appalling years like this one, it's making life a bit easier to escape into thinking about Christmas. So tonight I'm going to crack open the Advocaat and have me a almost-Advent snowball.
