X-mas carol

Sleigh bells ring
are you listening?
in all lands
the faithful whingeing

A deplorable sight
A religious fright
The Godly think
We just don't understand

Giving gifts
To each other
Don't need Gods
Or hellfire

The Atheists say
we'll do it our way
We just find the preaching pointless
Dull and bland

Some of us will eat until were bursting
Others just hang out with those they love
Few of us waste time in pointless praying
'Cause we have a life to live so just shut up!

One by one they conspire
They'd have us all
On a pyre
We don't believe
In man made gods
Anymore than chocolate frogs
Oh for a godless winter wonderland

Winter blues

I hate winter. It's cold wet and windy and does absolutely nothing for my hair or skin. Summer is much nicer warm dry(ish) and it's not bloody dark when you leave the house for work and when you leave the office to go home! I always start to feel a little weird this time of year. I have always loathed the whole never seeing daylight thing and to have to do it for half the year is definitely not the canines spherical objects.

I have heard of that condition known as SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) could be a bit of a 'Yuppie Flu' type thing but I have to admit I get crabby, moody and generally down at this time of year. Maybe that's why we invented a holiday season in the middle of it to lighten the mood? I do like X-Mas and New Year but not because it gives me a warm fuzzy glow of kindness and goodwill towards my fellow (wo)man. It's more the warm and fuzzy glow of the Bucks Fizz breakfast tipple and the Boxing day cherry brandy that does it for me.

That and the presents of course. Santa - I want a Wii Fit this year d'you hear?
