and so the 25th has come and gone, just another day like the other 364 days.
hmm people (including me) complain that this season seems to be lacking in the festivities and atmosphere, but what do we actually have to complain about? certainly not more than the elderly man slumped in a doorway on christmas eve, while people exchange banter over sumptous feasts of wine and dine, has to complain about. certainly not more than the elderly woman with no one to accompany her except her strays on a christmas morning. certainly not more than those unsung people who are doing duties on a christmas morning so that we may peacefully snuggle up in our bedholes. certainly not more than those who have not seen the christmas deco in orchard road their entire lives and most probably will never get the chance to.
to all the above mentioned groups of people, happy holidays.
