Rather morbid, I know, but this is the second time in as many weeks that my commute has been delayed by a “fatality” or, as it was described this morning, a “body on the line”.
Which leads us to the conclusion that it's kind of a depressing time of year for a lot of people. I know it can be for me. The question is, what can we do about it?
I guess we could start by trying to find out why. As a singleton I can give you one reason right away, but I'm sure there are others.
Christmas songs, for example. I have previously elaborated on how much I detest Band Aid 20, but a lot of the rest are awful and made so much worse by the fact that you know you'll be hearing them every year until you die. And, as I'm probably going to hell, every year after that, too. Because that's all KDIS will be playing. That and Bombalurina.
But I digress.
So, any thoughts on ways to make the season of good cheer actually feel a bit cheery? Here are a few to get us going, in no particular order of likelihood:
- A maximum limit on the population of Oxford Street.
- Doing your shopping over the internet, thus not having to deal with the first issue at all.
- The ceremonial burning of all copies of Mistletoe and Wine.
- Booze.
