Uncanny Christmas Tales – (060) Discovering the True Meaning of Christmas

 

Nathan Perry grew up with a keen dislike for Christmas despite all the jollity and faux fun, his Christmas’s held no joy so for him it always seemed to be when shit happened, and Christmas just magnified the misery.

His mother died at Christmas, so the very season made it more keenly felt, so he grew up with a distrust of Christmas, because he knew that shit lurked beneath the coloured lights and paper chains.

But when he was in his late teens, he discovered that there was more to Yuletide than fairy lights, Christmas trees and streamers.

The Christmas totty in Christmas outfits, Christmas tights with holly motifs, striped stockings, novelty Santa socks, Christmas knickers, Bauble earrings, Santa hats, and well filled festive sweaters.

That’s what the season was all about for him, Christmas girls with tinsel in their hair under the mistletoe for Christmas kisses and a Christmas goose.
