A bit of a pill. Must have been a very difficult person to live with. If anyone did. Not that I’m into big glitzy Christmases myself but I’d leave him off the party list.

Would Philip Larkin have written "hoards" when he meant "hordes"?

Surprisingly cathartic bleatings! I celebrate Christmas but I’ve stripped it so far back that I likely look like a common Scrooge to others. But once I gave myself permission to not participate in the “Christmas idiocy” everything changed. No big meal. No guests. No traveling. No guilt trips. No gifts. No sending stupid cards. Ah, sweet freedom.

‘Glittering tsunami’ YES!!!! 🔥🔥. Also I loathe Christmas. Well not ‘loathe.’ But I can do without it.
