    Why do people decorate for christmas? why do they get the new sofa from dfs for christmas? what for? it's just a day, time you're (in the majority) forced to take off work when the weather is crap, bleedin' religion, they could have rigged it that he got born in August or summat! jeez, is that too much to ask? i mean honestly.
