Dear Judge Chardy,
I've been reading your column over the past few months and I kind of get it - you know, why you prefer to live on a park bench instead of a house like the rest of us. The one part I don't understand is what you do at Christmas. How do you cope without having a festive season?

Dear Ning Nong,
You don't get it do you? Everyday is Christmas when you live your life free as a bird. Do you realize that at this time of the year I can pick up such bargains at the clothing bins? So many consumer fools are out there updating their running shorts and Gucci sunglasses. Last Christmas I got a great little transistor radio and the batteries lasted till Easter. People are so busy replacing "things" they don't get their true value out of their possessions.
I love this time of year actually, half finished bottles of beer at the Lake, not quite empty glasses of wine and spirits - it's like New Years Eve goes on for weeks. So don't concern yourself about me Citizen, just make sure you leave your esky open and I will be there living off the fruits of your labor for months!
Chards!
