This year I’m actually fairly jolly. Ho ho ho and all that, but some things are baffling me:
- Who said we have to get all our shopping done by the first weekend in December?
- Why is a dressing gown and a tea towel the accepted costume for nativity plays?
- When are all these parties we are supposed to need little black dresses for?
- And where are my invitations?
- Who cares that most of the Christmas telly is repeats?
- Why are the Christmas adverts even a thing worth talking about?
- Why do we feel guilty if we aren’t rushing about in a festive flap?
- When did we decide it was a good idea to buy (and wear once) a horrible jumper just because it’s Christmas?
- Why don’t battery operated toys have, by law, to come with batteries?
- Why would you buy a Christmas present for your pet?
- Eggnog – why would you?
- And finally why is it so hot in the shops?
