Billy Donahue rejecting the annual tradition

Geelong father of two Billy Donahue has announced a personal war against Christmas-cracker paper hats today, following another embarrassing Christmas family lunch. For the fourth year running Mr Donahue drew a pink paper hat, and was forced to wear it for the duration of the holiday.

"It's bad enough that the toys are crap, and I have to listen to the terrible jokes and trivia, but wearing a paper crown - that's going too far" Mr Donahue told WPN reporters. "They irritate my hair, make annoying noises in my ears, and make you look like an absolute moron.

While family Christmas lunches are usually joyous affairs, Mr Donahue is understood to be becoming increasingly frustrated with poor quality presents and a lack of watchable TV shows. "I don't know how many times I've seen Tim Allen in Santa Claus, but if I see it again, I think I'm going to kill someone

How can someone be expected to sit through this crap, waiting for the Boxing Day cricket to start? It's unbearable."

 Neighbours meanwhile described Mr Donahue as a caring and sensitive man, but warned at times he could have a short-temper. "Well there was one time he was mowing the lawn but couldn't get the whipper-snippper started, and he just lost it" one neighbour told us. "He ended up cutting down a council-owned tree by hitting it repeatedly with the whipper-snipper. Next day the Jims Mowing trailer was out the front, I guess his wife couldn't deal with another outburst".

Close sources have reported that he again received socks and underwear this year, which he accepted with a forced smile and warm thanks. The gifts were later seen in the backyard garbage bin.
