Bah, Sherbet Lemons

Christmas is fast approaching, tomorrow will be Christmas Eve, I suppose I really should start my Christmas shopping. Today is the first day I haven’t seen my friends this holiday, unless you count Matt (Browne) this morning in Sainsburys who looked like he was ready to just walk out of his job, and I am so bored already.

For yet another year one of those twats off X Factor got the Christmas No.1, it makes me feel stupid for not realising at a much younger age then I did that the success of something in the chart has absolutely fuck all to do with had good a song it is. This leads me nicely on to something I realised today, out of all the Christmas songs there are that get played to death at this time of the year there is only one that is remotely accurate. Christmas isn’t about sleighs, or fat jolly men climbing down the chimney and when was the last time it actually snowed at Christmas. In my opinion the song that best represents Christmas in my opinion (”IMO” - For Josh) is “Fairytale of New York” by the Pogues. You may ask why I think this best represents Christmas and basically it’s because it is about people being drunk and arguing with each other, and isn’t that truly what Christmas is all about.

I had a bloody good time last night at Matt (Cousins this time) & Lily’s party. The theme of the party was “Music” and as Matt put it best you could “come as your hero! or maybe a drum?” There were some awesome costumes including all 4 members of Kiss, Slash, Freddy Mercury, The Ghost of Pavarotti and a very memorable Peter Browne as Britney Spears. I really hope some one got a picture of Peter. I am not entirely sure wether I made a prat out of myself or I was just more outgoing then usual. Oh well a thoroughly awesome time was had so I don’t care either way.

Well I wish you all a Shitty Christmas and a Crappy New Year. But seriously I hope you all have a good time and as it is the season of giving I will post links to some of my friends blogs like I have been meaning to for a while. (Probably going to be quite pointless because you lot are pretty much the only people that read this.)
