Although I know this is a joke I really wish fans of Christmas were a little more sensitive to those who find the whole thing stressful and miserable.<br /><br />It would really be an act of charity and kindness if they could stop themselves from the knee-jerk compulsion to start every conversation with some reference to Christmas and restraining that urge to conscript everyone into the enforced bonhomie would be a real act of kindness. <br /><br />It would be nice if all Christmas music was banned from shops until the afternoon.<br /><br />After all, once it is over and it has turned out as miserable and anti-climactic as does it every year, and they have to face paying back their credit-card bills, and try and shed all the blubber they put on by eating stuff they didn't actually like, through the long biting sunless winter, they will <strong>expect</strong> our sympathy.<br /><br />Fair's fair!<br /><br />
