I would rather hit the pub for half an hour and do it for real. My day will start the night before preparing and cooking food that I personally will hardly touch on the day. I will have to make numerous phone calls or hold conversations with people I have successfully avoided the previous year and generally be nice to people.

I am not anti social are anything like that but I would rather forego the bull droppings and be myself 52 days of the year instead of 50. I don’t like crowds; I don’t like needless fuss and commercialisation. I like good fresh food, genuine friendly people who don’t make judgements, know how to have fun and aren’t too afraid to scratch their a*** when they need to.
