Festive Greetings

Today is the last day of work before the Xmas break and one cannot but help but ruminate on the festive period ahead.

 

Some people fail to appreciate the true meaning of Xmas, trying to bring religion into the equation.  What rot.

 

Xmas is all about excess:

 

Spending to excess on ridiculous presents that are this years "must have" gifts - time for a Wii anyone?

 

Drinking to excess, expecially drinks that wouldn't normally pass your lips at other times of the year - eggnog, that stuff that is black and white - comes in a bottle with two openings...

 

Eating to excess (my personal favourite), what other time of the year could you get away with insisting that it is essential that you have a choice of three puddings, and that you want a helping of each one.

 

 

Excess - putting the X into Xmas for as long as I can remember.

 

 

Enjoy...

 

p.s. The Great Escape is on the box again this year, after being notably absent for a while, surely this time Steve McQueen is going to make it over that bloody fence....
