Just a quick post to wish my reader a Happy Christmas. I know, I could have sent a card, but frankly I was too stingy to buy a stamp.
I like Christmas, but one of the things that annoys me about the festive period is the forced jollity and bonhomie that oozes around for all of December. I combat this by acting like a miserable bugger, while inside I'm hopping up and down excitedly about opening presents. However, there are some things that can crack my Scrooge-ish facade.
In lieu of a Nine Tenths Full of Penguins Christmas gift, I give you Eddie Izzard talking in his own inimitable fashion about the first Christmas.
There are a couple of swear words in there, so be warned....
Wishing you a Happy Christmas (or insert faith-neutral good wishes here).
*Update
Right thats it! I am no longer myself. I have got old and soft. I found myself watching the first Santa Clause movie today. 'Whats so bad about that?' I hear you cry, well wait for the kicker. I quite enjoyed it......
I feel wrong. Just wrong. I think I'm going to crawl into a whiskey bottle for the remainder of my Christmas break. I'm just ashamed. Oh well, at least my Pandora Radio station is good, that offsets the shame somewhat.

Oh, dear me... I won't comment on you watching he Santa Clause movie! but Eddie Izzard, now HE is quite good..
Have a good Christmas, whatever you do with it! Me, I'm eating cookies.
9/10 full of cookies,
your Jewish atheist reader,
Valerie
I also watched that (well I hope you are talking about Santa Claus the Movie) - I love it. I went to see it with my Dad when it came out at the Cinema :-) not as keen on the Eddie Izzard although quite funny and like Valerie I am also 9/10 full of cookies, ooh and chocolate cake :-)
I would say I am 9/10ths full of chocolate after all the gift baskets and truffle boxes at the office...
I do enjoy Eddie Izzard, no comment on the rest.
