Browsing a local shop, listening to Christmas tunes and looking at the same tat being placed on the shelves from last year (at no point in Peaky Blinders did I see them reference a boxed shower set which I saw for sale) and I realise that my usual 'meh' has appeared again, which will only be dispelled in the week before the big day.

If you're interested, ask. Don't make a statement that requires the receiver to mentally respond "I'm not actually, but you clearly don't give an actual shit".
