Thank you for the ultra minimalist card.

Not grumpy or alienating at all, just a very good description of the unpleasant weirdness that is family, and the misery that can be Christmas for many.

Hybernating in a bunker is just exactly what this season calls for.

What a pleasure to read one is not alone in the loathing of this artifically enforced season.

Merry Christmas. Pah.

I’m sitting here wondering how to get my bloody website back online when the support folks in Pittsburgh are chomping on their turkeys or whatever it is people eat for Christmas in Pittsburgh.

Other than that it’s the parents later today. Always good for a laugh.

It must be tough when your family insist on festive jollity; my advice is to crack open the vodka (or tea if you’ve been off the booze), whack up the heating and watch a few DVDs. It’s bliss.

Offline? Being generally Christmassy? Hardly.

I’m in my own bunker, ta very much.

Okay so next year it shall be different. For we [me and you] shall have a Christmas party at your house or at my flat in Hackney or Clapham or Walthamstow!

[That is unless of course I actually find myself a sophisticated but slightly loopy girlfriend — but we both know that’s never going to happen]

We shall wear silly hats and play passive aggressive party games!
