pallas_athenaThe announcement that this year's London Christmas lights will be themed around Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol makes me fiercely joyful for many reasons, including:
*the hope that the lights will include cheery seasonal images of starving street children
*or the Ghost Of Christmas Future, who scared the living fuck out of young, TV-watching me. Seriously.
*an excuse to stride down Oxford Street declaiming "Every idiot who goes about with 'Merry Christmas' upon his lips should be boiled in his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart"
*...like I've ever needed an excuse. But still.
