Christmas Already?

I’m no Scrooge but I’m sick and tired of all the Christmas nonsense which is currently permeating everyday life. Everywhere you look on television, in shops or...well basically just on television and in shops, there’s just bloody Christmas this and Christmas that. It’s not even December yet for god sake! They’ve been taking bookings for Christmas parties at my local pub since September. Soon we’ll have the January sales and it’ll be straight back into preparations for next Christmas. Why won't they just let us celebrate Shrove Tuesday in peace?

I have therefore decided to respond in kind. Next year my birthday celebrations (which should take place entirely on July 27th) will begin in May. A protracted preamble will ensue before culminating in a dull drab celebration on July 27th which would’ve been much more exciting had we not built it up beyond recognition for the previous three months. And just in case you’re worried that you’ll miss my May celebrations, there’ll be adverts all over T.V and mince pies will be half price.
