Another Christmas All Alone

This is dedicated to all those lonely souls at Christmas. We need no turkey. We need no festivities. We just feed from the dregs that you create.

I am not anti-Christmas. I love Christmas. I just don't enjoy it these days. Things could have been so different. My wife could still be alive. My child could have been born. A bottle of cheap Advocaat and a tatty tree are my contributions this year.

I hope those of you with families enjoyed yourselves. I hope that you had the grace to remember the blessed Virgin. I hope that you didn't just get endless DVD box-sets of shows you didn't bother with before they became "Must See TV". I hope that you didn't get a copy of the NME and a £100 HMV voucher.

I don't mind if you got wanky books though because books have a great ability to weed out tossers by making themselves indicipherable to morons.

J.P. Holmes Suggests;

Dictionary
A large encyclopaedia
A decent atlas
Detective fiction from the 1940s.
