Bloody Christmas,
here again,
let us raise a loving cup,
peace on earth,
goodwill to men,
and make them do
the washing up.
Wendy Cope
Most of the soap operas
always use the Christmas special
to kill huge quantities
of their characters.
So they have trams
coming off their rails,
or cars slamming
into each other
or burning buildings.
It’s a general clean-out.
Baron Fellowes of West Stafford,
known professionally as Julian Fellowes
as well as a Conservative member of the House of Lords)
Having a birthday cake
squashed into your face
by young kids?
Delicious.
I always don a Santa suit at Christmas.
Remaining childish is
a tremendous state of innocence.
John Joseph Lydon,
also known by Johnny Rotten
best known as the lead singer of punk rock band the Sex Pistols)
Christmas to a child
is the first terrible proof
that to travel hopefully
is better than to arrive.
Stephen John Fry
presenter, director, and activist)
It may be a cliche,
but it’s true…
the build-up to Christmas
is so much more pleasurable
than the actual day itself.
Julie Burchill
Black Friday is not
another bad hair day in Wall Street.
It’s the term
used by American retailers
to describe the day
after the Thanksgiving Holiday,
seen as the semi-official
start of Christmas shopping season.
