When it comes to Christmas, which scarily is just over a month away, at times I've been a bit grinchy.
I'm not sure why. I always loved Christmas.
So, I'm going to make a concerted effort to enjoy the festive time this year. Last year was my first Christmas I was able to spend with family for almost a decade as I've always had to work the next day and 500km of driving each way within 36 hours isn't appealing or safe at that time. There have also been other reasons.
Anyway, what's not to like about Christmas? It's all about fun, you get to watch one of the greatest films of all time (It's A Wonderful Life) and it's great to watch the kids enjoying their presents.
So while I still think Festivus is a great idea and one I will note I'd like to give Christmas a proper try this time.

No Festivus miracles
I think that's a good thing. As a general rule festivus miracles tend to be rather unfortunate or uncomfortable and involved chance situations that you'd rather not have to endure.
So, in honur of Festivus 2007 I announce my grievances....
1. The politicians who kept sending the same propaganda to me on a daily basis in the last couple of weeks of the election. They know who they are.
2. The guy responsible for taking EI out of the quarantine centre and destroying the spring carnival.
3. Kylie Minogue for releasing a mediocre album as her comeback from cancer. C'mon the electronica stuff didn't really work for Madonna a few years ago, why will it work now?
4. Channel 7 for now showing the last 2 episodes of the current season of Heroes (thank God for the internet or I'd have to wait until February to see them).
5. Yet again Channel 10 for not showing One Tree Hill and to whoever is responsible for releasing it on DVD and making us wait until goodness known when (again thanks to importing things on your own we don't have to wait so long).
6. Magpies
7. The canteen ladies at work who refuse to carry out the simple instructions you give on how you'd like your toast spread.
That's all I can think of right now. Happy Festivus everyone!
