Well here we are again.
It never ceases to amaze me how many Atheists sing Christmas Carols?! Bugger off and find you're own seasonally pseudo spiritual songs and I don't think Wham's 'Last Christmas' counts. Sorry, you are all welcome to join in with our festivities. I don't mean beer, tinsel and trees; they belong to us all - but if you love 'O, Come all ye...' and 'away in a manger..' please don't blame us for all the wars throughout history ever. It's not baby Jesus' fault, honest.

People keep asking if the family are coming around for Christmas and I can't help but reply 'Yea, what's left of them'. Bah, Humbug. My big brother Mark is here and Ele and Amit are on there way this evening once Ele has got away from Iceland - apparently there are no flights out of there so she's going to have to drive!
No one needs to know this! Have a great Christmas whatever you're doing and with whoever you're doing it with.

It's so exauhsting being happy all the time. Not happy as such but jolly. I love Christmas but this year I'd rather be still and contemplative but.... My day job (and evening and night job) (it's not really a job - it's just a way of being), anyway, being me involves a great deal of jolliness at this time of year. Which is lovely, I can think of worse things such as scraping dead Armadillo scales from the underside of disused Austin Maxis, but exahusting.
One thing I'm really jolly about is the 'Eating Curry for Heaven's Sake' series of films that I've just completed for Touchstone, Bradford. They're accessible via You Tube and will soon be embedded in this site - once I work out what embedding entails - it has a sort of Tudor Carry On feel to it!
