Merry Christmas

We’ll do the New Year closer to the day.

Back in the day, we’d need to be careful whom we offended celebrating Christmas and by that is meant the homegrown “happy holidays” mob. 

This year, with all that’s gone on and is going on, patience is considerably shorter … this is Christmastide now, not some foreign irrelevance … and so Julia, Mike and I wish you all, readers, a relaxing week after a frenetic few days now.

Thoughts of course for the very real victims of the last few years, especially tomorrow … and a quiet warning to be careful … that lot are still out there wishing us ill … it’s with no sense of irony though that we wish you …

Merry Christmas, readers, one ’n all.
