I don't celebrate and have withdrawn from the prezzie cycle
for some years because it's a most difficult time for alcoholics
and the time of year when one is most likely to have a "slip"
(as it is termed in AA) if one is not on one's guard all the time.

However, as I have to find humour from within myself and not
rely on some external drug, on the occasions when I do
go to social gatherings, I am accused of being the drunkest
person present!

So, alcoholism has one big advantage - I don't pay out loads
of shekels to give to other people loads of things they don't
really want and get in return loads of things that I don't
really want! The spare cash that I have goes to the
purchase of components that I do want!

PS.There's a new condom on the market this Christmas, the
"Sant Claus" model.

It's 6 foot long!

Why? Because he only "comes" once a year, and when he
does, he fills up your stockings!

My personal reasonal reasons for celebrating Christmas is to look back and
on my previous 12 months achievements, also to take time out from a busy
work schedule (the aerospace industry doesn't run itself you know!!) and
spend time amongst friends and family. Even exchanging gifts as a token of
appreciation for being there thru the ups and downs of the past year and to
look forward to whatever the future holds. A beer here, a spirit there and
the odd mince pie does no harm.Indeed, a wondorous time for even the
strongest disbelievers!

....and a good excused to get ****ed for a week and a bit!!!

Drunkest!!!...no such word...I'm sure it's "most drunk"...as in "most drunk
person there"...
