Just wondering what other comrades do at Xmas. I have known members say ‘bugger Xmas I am ignoring it, (a bit like John Grishams’s ‘Skipping Xmas’).
I make no apologies. It is traditional for me. A dead turkey, merlot, sausage rolls etc. and of course ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’, ‘Scrooge’ etc.
Yes, I know. Very Sad.
BAH! HUMBUG!i remember the special treats ,,,satsumas and mandarin oranges….but they are available the year around…the Christmas morning with the silent movies and Laurel and Hardy, dvds killed that one… and on the other station those lucky kids in hospitals getting presents from Leslie Crowther or Rolf Harris…how i wanted a broken leg…Best Christmas BookMany socialists have looked to Dickens as a champion for our cause. Even Karl Marx was a self-professed admirer. Many have acclaimed A Christmas Carol, as a condemnation of capitalism.Best Christmas Movie On the face of it It’s a Wonderful Life isn’t the most cheering of films, featuring as it does James Stewart attempting to commit suicide, but what better anti-capitalism Christmas movie is there. The villain of the film, Mr Potter (Boo! Hiss!) is a stock broker and for extra topicality it also features a run on the banks.Best Christmas SongPhil Ochs No Christmas In Kentuckyhttp://yuleplay.com/tag/?t=socialist
