A young man from the inner-city who is not religious in any way has sent the past fortnight respectfully observing the dozen or so Christmas parties he’s been to.

Peter Santosh, of the French Quarter, is not a Christian.

He’s never prayed to whoever the Christian God is. Nor has he ever really prayed to any God.

But that hasn’t stopped him enjoying one of the pillars of Christian culture. The office Christmas Party.

“I’m a first-generation Australian. Every Boomer I’ve met has pretty much told me to be thankful that they let my parents escape a war-torn region and settle here in Australia,” he said.

“And I am thankful,”

“So rather than shoving my anti-Christian anti-Western opinions down the throat of everyone at a Christmas party, I just laugh along, sip some disgusting beer out of a clear bottle and go home on dark. Aussie Aussie Aussie!”

More to come.
