I like Christmas because it's when the world fucks off for a while

And now it's nearing its end, back to "normal". Ugh. I look forward to the suspension of bau from October/November, get that brief reprieve and it snaps back like a whip. This is why I loved the lockdowns and could not understand people wanting to go back to normal. It was a 2 year Christmas holiday for me. I enjoy the night for the same reason, the hustle and bustle of the daylight, corporate ideologues bugger off. It's the sense of freedom I guess.
