Whilst off wandering around the Hampsshire countryside in torrential rain this morning trying to avoid this commercialised pagan festive that has been hijacked by the established church, whilst wearing full waterproof gear. The waterproofing on my trousers and foot ware had just spectacularly failed due to the volume of water as I was being lashed by the elements on an exposed hillside, I came across another drowned sole wearing a santa hat who wished me a merry Christmas it was at this point I realised that I had been beaten into submission and wished him one too.
Next year I think I'm off to the Amazon rainforest where even if I can't avoid christmas it will at least be drier!.
