Christmas is upon us and stockings fill
with the melancholy of absent friends and family members perhaps no longer with
us, faces of ghosts we thought we’d slain flicker in the lights and haunt our
Christmas Eve dreams.
Yet for all of these reasons Christmas
is beautiful and magical, other ghosts appear from nowhere, people remember and
tell stories of those gone, and Christmas lights sparkle and make even the
shadiest shithole shine.
So don’t cry yourself to sleep at
Christmas, put on your finest threads, kife your grannies Baileys, download the Christmas mixtape, and get your
Glam out for Christmas!
Don’t be glum, be Glam!!
