Is it Christmas? Really? Gosh I just hadn't noticed.

Shockingly enough i am rather cynical about Christmas being shoved down my throat since October, and fed up of the ignorance sourrounding me... just today I was asked why we bothered to sing carols at the Christmas Carol Services, why couldn't we stick to the traditional Christmas songs like White Christmas and Do they know it's Christmas...

I won't go off on one fear not. Needless to say I find myself reluctant to enter into the spirit of a season which has had it's identity taken over by Bob Geldof and Marks and Spencers.

Anywho almost done for this term and indeed 2005 - work is coming to a climax with Sunday morning's service involving me rushing into the church interrupting the minister and telling him to stop dulling down the Christmas story and missing the point...it shall be refreshing, i look forward to it.

If anyone is expecting a Christmas card or shock horror a present you might want to lower your expectations, i'm lazy, broke and making a stand against commercialism. though mainly the first two.

Well i'm sure i will become jolly when i feel less harrassed and i get my kidney fixed... if i forget to write again, have a Merry Christmas and embrace the New Year!!!

ciao
