Christmas, like so much else, is just an idea, a mind set; powerful though it may be its not written in stone, its only the holy writ of tradition and advertisers who say, Thou must celebrate Christmas and buy heaps of stuff. Resistance is not futile. There are special moments like the William IV Pub, in Shepherdess Walk, Islington this year, opening its doors to the homeless today (21st) for a free roast dinner in an act of wanton kindness (with 4,000 people re-tweeting the message and many more offering to volunteer). Were you not wedded to your war on the poor, you could learn a thing or two from such kindness, but such lessons are available 365 days a year in which acts of routine kindness and generosity are the rule rather than the exception, where you and your government are the exception and certainly not the rule. A season of good will is pretty offensive when you really think about it, as fake as Christmas.
