Tree’s back up again, and this time I’m smiling!

Once again, it’s the 25th of December and that means it’s time to write another Christmas message for 2015, after last year’s message about not bothering about the day itself, and perhaps some more reasons that perhaps why it’s not exactly the most wonderful time of the year.

As before, this will be an auto-publish job on the web site, so I’ll not be around when it goes live. As a prompter for this year’s message, I actually went back to 2014’s little blog post, just to see what it was I just to write that year. It turns out it was the type of post which made you want to ring the Samaritans Hotline just to ask what the guy on the other end is wearing and if he thought you were pretty. I suppose I should actually say sorry for that!

In the eyes of so many, it will be sad to be thinking this sort of thing at this time of year all the time, that basically every December and Christmas rolls around and then you just get into a funk about the whole thing. I suppose it will be different this year as I’m splitting time between different people which I’ve not done in years and is a relatively new experience. Not sure if it will help matters or just further drive me to despise the forced nature of the season.

And as for the festive songs, it seems to be getting worse. As an example, there were carol singers on the local news singing Silent Night and I tell you what, it just made me so utterly depressed. Why? The damn thing is so downtrodden and slow, it’s almost taking the piss by ensuring that if you were feeling blue, then it’s the singing equivalent of kicking you in the f*cking teeth. Seriously, this is supposed to get people in the Christmas spirit?

This is the reason why year after year, Die Hard gets put on the TV, at least Bruce Willis puts some effort in when he’s messing with Alan Rickman and brings cheer to hostages.

Ho Ho Ho Mother lovers!

But of course, I’m again going back to a downward spiral which will not be helping matters and in many respects, I’m fully aware these are first world problems. There are always many people far worse off, in dire situations and this time of year will just amplify those problems. There are also lots of people who would kill to be in the same shoes as I currently am, and so I should be grateful to being able to articulate and write complete sh*te on the internet as freely as I do.

It’s rather interesting though that a number of people have expressed to me the mehness of the Christmas period because of visitations etc that have to be made, chores, the spending of vast quantities of cash etc. so perhaps more and more it’s not just me that may wish to rebel against the status quo, simply for the feelings it seems to bring up?

You also can’t help of everything else that happened over the year, and that normally more comes up as New Year’s eve approaches where you talk with others about what went on and start planning ahead for what to do for the next year.

Bloody hell, I’m really not good at raising the roof on your mood, am I?

But of course, right now, it is some time off which for some is much needed, and we all know that it’s “new year” soon where the exact same crap begins all over again, so let’s just have a nap where we can and bite your arm in an attempt to wander aimlessly from one thing to the next. After all, in the Gaming Car Crash Christmas Special, I do wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, so hell, just make the best of the situation whatever you’re having.

Enjoy the eating too much, enjoy the repeats of the same stories you heard last year about the time Uncle Ted fell off the donkey at the seaside and of course enjoy the getting of things you didn’t actually want or need. Enjoy the fact that people turned up at all, enjoy the solitude if you wanted it, enjoy having something decent to watch on Freeview for a change, and most of all, enjoy being content.

Once again, Merry Christmas you filthy b*stards, and we will see you in the new year with yet more of the same bullsh*t!
