Well, I never actually meant to imply I didn't like it. It's far too easy
to be over-cynical about these sorts of things. If you do that all the time
you end up frowning all the way through something you really had a capacity
for enjoying (you could say Holden is a victim of this).I think Christmas
certainly has a meaning, you just have to dig for it a little rather than
waiting for it to come to you. As for me, living in a suburb famous for
offering a slap-up lights display (I myself am in charge of the display
last year and spend most of last evening up on a ladder fussing over a
strand of fairy lights that weren't happening).
As a facetious plug I'll add the link for the play I once wrote on the
subject:
