This day is about spending time with the people you love, the people that matter in your life.
In a utopian world, yes. In reality, no.
The day is about spending time with families and extended families who make no effort whatsoever throughout the course of the year to see or speak to you, unless they really want something. I could be dead in a ditch and most would only learn at the end of the year when their selfish arses are ringing up looking for a dinner table to plonk themselves at on the 25th of December. This time of the year brings out the very worst in greed, selfishness, and the general flaws in the pigswill society we find ourselves in through the total lack of regard for what's really important in what is a very short life.
My ideal Christmas would be spending it alone somewhere far away with no contact to anyone. Instead, I'll be pissing up into oblivion whilst looking through what may seem like glass models of people I call relatives, such is the transparency of the act they put on to get themselves through the day while they arrogantly treat each other like fools to see if one-another buys the act of nicety.
An absolute farce is what it is.
GozzMan... that sounds awful, Mate. And lonely.
The people we spend our time with at Christmas are people we care for and care for us... and have shown it throughout the year!
Yes, for people to be suddenly, on one day, nice to one another is sad. False.
You must have a few mates you can hook up with. You'd be welcome to join us only we'll be in Sydney and Canberra.
We do have one pain in the @rse uncle - born again Christian. Just about the most hypocritical pr1ck I know.
