Christmas time. Hmmph! I’m already sick of all the commercials for diamonds and Lexus and power tools. The diamond ones are particularly offensive as they make women look pretty shallow and encourage men to indulge that shallowness. Or guilt them into it might be more appropriate. I’ve always had a problem with the whole engagement
You are Christmas Time is Here, by Golly!, by Tom Lehrer. Hmm, you really don’t like Christmas, do you? From the moment they start playing carols in the shops in October to the appearance of the first Easter Eggs in the shops on New Years Eve, the rampant hypocrisy of the Christmas spirit sets your
