Oh God, whose light drives away the darkness of Black Friday, who told us that six days we shall shop and on the seventh we can only shop until 4pm unless it's online, and who first gave tablets to Moses: guide our thumbs to choose the right deals. That we may arrive at Christmas neither with so little credit left that we can't afford the sales which start on Christmas Eve, nor with so few presents and so little booze and food that we, forgetting Christmas Eve is a Sunday this year, have to venture out to actual shops at the last minute to panic-buy.
Amen
Want a good laugh? Want to laugh at the church? Want to be secretly suspicious that the author has been sitting in your church committee meetings taking notes? Then Writes of the Church: Gripes and grumbles of people in the pews is probably the book for you.An excellent book for your churchgoing friends, relatives or vicar. And don't forget it's nearly Christmas! |
