Oh man, like, so glad I no longer have work christmas parties or christmas pub gathers of any kind to go to anymore. I really really disliked them with a passion, people who’s mission it was to get absolutely smashed, the constantly mental tussle of the back and forth. So glad to be out of it, as I walked out of the resident tk max of cheap tat and dodgy olive oils I saw this mannequin and it spoke to me — this is how christmas has always been.
feel free to remix the photo on this post, I’d love to see what you come up with, I’m expecting pictures in the comments that you have managed to remix, put a face into the non face and dress up as you see fit.
The faceless hoards of people swarming together around a location expecting it to provide an outlet of enjoyment, blokes getting rounds in, bumping into people they have not seen all year pretending to give a shit as to what they have been up to all year.
Awkwardly dressed chief execs taking in their allocated 1.5 drinks in work uniform as an excuse for an easy exit strategy stage left door styli, hating every single one of his staff and ready to board a plane to his holiday home in Spain so we can facebook a picture of his garden and how close he is from the sea.
Christmas parties have always on the majority got in me in some kind of trouble or another, something I’ve said, something I’ve done, something I’ve accidentally uprooted from someones garden and walked home with when I was a teenager
I’ve never had a mellow christmas gather with a smaller group of people, I guess I’ve changed my approach to what christmas time really means to me as the years go by and that in turns made me approach gathers and going out differently, I have no desire to be blotto and drunk like that in a place full of unknowns.
take steemfest 2 for instance, the reason why I felt so easy and enjoyed every moment there apart from needing to pay for drinks and so remove one little concern of money we had the whole audience interested in the same thing, steemit, crypto, everyone had a story, it was not some muted collection of suited people waiting for a person in the group to speak like an episode of the office.
So yes, I’ll be celebrating in our own way this year, the box set of five films of die hard on Christmas Day with stilton and crackers, port and a big phat side of leg of ham from Spain with a nice cutting knife that I can use in the new year when we get back to our sushi lifestyle afterwards, I really can function on simple things and throughly enjoy it.
It’s so nice to have 
Let’s have an upbeat, positive, safe christmas eh? x
