Video and Rant: Kid hates books

I remember when I was a naive and selfish child and hated getting books as gifts. Yes I wanted the latest toys and games every year for Christmas. One year I remember receiving a towel for as a gift for Christmas, I shouted out 'Towels, Towels, who gets towels for Christmas as a gift', it turns out it was my nan who was sitting in the room who had got me towels, and this was a supreme awkward moment.

I thankfully have grown up now, and will accept any gift which I get, within reason.

However this young kid is going through the same stage below in the video, as he receives a book which he just doesn't want to Christmas. It is clearly sitting next to a Nintendo Wii console, which may be the problem.

Have a laugh with it, what a classic it will become.

3 Christmas Moans!

1) Christmas has been cancelled

It appears some people and entirely given up on trying to celebrate Christmas this year, with delayed packages, being stranded somewhere you would rather not, trapped at an airport. Santa hasn't been happy this year with us, and he is letting us know the hard way.


2) To much to do

Those of us who have not cancelled Christmas are at the other end of the spectrum. We have to much to do and not enough time, unless you live somewhere which has been untouched by snow then you are very lucky.
Presents to get and wrap, thousands of cards to write...grant me 3 wishes please.


3) Santa....

He this year appears to be everywhere...on every corner...any shop...How are these kids not figuring out that he isn't real when he is throughout the country doing so many things at once.
It is a shame I have lost that Christmas magic, but I guess it had to happen sometime!

Irritant of the day: Damn you UK.

Today I was annoyed that I couldn't get anywhere in the south east of the UK. Yes this is a rudimentary snow related post...but I had planned to go see my friend and his band headline a club. I wouldn't have had a problem getting there during the day...but I would not have been able to get back home. The last train was scheduled for 10.16pm  which didn't cover the gig. Perhaps in warmer circumstances we could have waited around to the first train at 5-6am...but with freezing temperatures and no where to go inside it would have been silly, also considering the trains could get cancelled tomorrow.

Yeah it seems Christmas may actually be cancelled this year...people without loved ones...and the important ordered gifts...hopefully family spirit kicks in and we can all start travelling again.
