Ho! Ho! Fricken Ho!

With exactly one week until Christmas I have noticed that 'goodwill' is suffering a painful demise. Shopping can be likened to the Running With the Bulls and my colleagues are so fatigued that when you ask them how they are they respond with 'shit' and don't bother to ask you, knowing that you will respond in kind.

I, however, am determined to be as festive as the fat man himself and have played countless Christmas games, exposed my students to the wonderous Hanson Christmas album, taken part in three different Kris Kringles, baked Christmas cookies, bought an obscene amount of candy canes and Christmas crackers, updated my fluff pet to wear a santa hat on Facebook and sent cards to everyone I have known in the last five years.

Bah-humbug!
