Ah right. Yeah that’s a bit shit given you’ve paid for a game you can’t go to, but I guess Christmas Eve is still a work day for many.
I am in two minds about it, I like Christmas being the one day where nothing else encroaches on life, even as an atheist. There’s something kinda lovely about life stopping for the majority of people for one day a year. On the other hand, I think a Christmas match would be a fun tradition and something to look forward to as the day winds to a close.
Easter I don’t particularly care what goes on. God, if he existed - which he doesn’t, would love a bit of sport to take his mind off the anniversary of his son’s death.
