Xmas stress and worry, overspending and run ragged

Is Christmas day worth the agro?
Christmas, it's a great time of year isn't it? The shopping, the food, drink, the lights and all those things you've got to get done in a short space of time before that big day.

| 23-12-2008 | Wow, just 24 hours more before Santa Claus, that vampyr of the Christmas scene descends upon all our households, only to be dispersed by the sunrise on the following morning.

| 15-12-2008 | Oh well, Christmas will eventually be abolished in the future as part of an apologetic for being too much of a Christian country, and the need to be more 'all-inclusive'.
