‘Get in the Van, Greg’

An Aussie Christmas tale

‘Every year we sit around, bored shitless.’

‘It will be nice. Take a nap in our campervan, if you need a break.’

‘It was better when Dora didn’t come. Peas in a pod, her and her brother. Just another Tom, with tits. Smug.’

‘Greg …’

‘I could stay home. Tell them I’m in the van, getting dressed.’

‘Greg …’

‘I can’t even play my banjo. Fucking banjophobic outlaws.’

‘In-laws.’

‘Whatever.’

‘We’re going, Greg. Get in the van.’

Thanks for reading! Any resemblance to the author and members of his family is … err … (*mumbles*).

Merry Christmas! 🎅🪕🎶
