Why, oh why three months of “Chrissmuss”?

Contest and challenges: PNC, Allan and Joseph

Hello friends, this I promise: at my age and stage I’ll make this my final, brief, regretful “lamentation” on this issue.

I refer to the “fast forwarding”, the degradation, cheapening and yes, the rampant commercialisation of the Christian festival of Christmas. And every year the naughty perpetrators seem to conspire to worsen the situation. Perhaps knowing they are being successful in targeting a crotchety old citizen—Me!  So what am I going on about once again? Well first, my brief background content.
