'Tis-The-Season

The holidays - an indolent season for one to watch the snow pour over the pseudo-Gothic architecture, enjoy a Scotch and soda and share the odd grubby fag with an acquaintance.

The time of year where emotions are irresistibly amplified amongst one's family. A time where one may feel all too alienated and desolated even when surrounded by the masses of unwashed (beloved?) relations, albeit already half pissed and nigh exploding with stuffed foodstuffs. It is an interesting phenomenon altogether, but unequivocally it apparently emanates a warmth that is the crux of the popularity of the season.

Frankly, really, after some deep philosophical contemplation, I'm quite content with the motif of the first paragraph.
