Christmas? Bah Bloody Humbug!

November 24th, 2008 5:57 am MST

Tis the season to be jolly?  What idiot said that?  All well and good I suppose if you are at home with family for the season but not in my case.

Yet again I will be working Christmas, although should be home for New Year,  which makes 5 out of the last 8 years I have been away.  Not that I actually mind if the truth be told as I have become somewhat dissillusioned with the whole festive season and being a Geologist means I don't have a religious bone in my body so why celebrate it anyway.

But I'm not a muslim and I wish my islamic friends a happy Eid, my Jewish friends Happy Hannakah and my Chinese friends Gong Chi Fat Cow (or however its pronounced) so to one and all I wish a Happy Christmas and a fruitful and safe 2009.

Just spare a thought for all of us who will be working at Christmas keeping the power on, the hospitals manned, law and order intact and in my case the oil pumps pumping.  I can't even have a glass of wine with Christmas dinner so top yours up and remember me.

Take care all and see you in the New Year.
