Ooh our leader isn't going to be happy .
If cheese was mentioned it could tip him over the edge.
Lol... But it is now Christmas, so it is fine. November is not.
Cheese never is!!!
Happy festive doo dah to you all.
My Captain, my captain - hold the line sir!
Don't start back-peddling under the lash of all that Dickensian propaganda and mind-fu**ery, which according to his children he never actually believed himself.
There is still plenty of pleasure to be had from having your reasonable suspicions vindicated by being confirmed.
It helped me.
I have just received a very unpromising parcel from a blood relative who has never given a decent present in her life (vindicated) and I have already handed out the prize for the cheapest card to my oldest friend, which didn't even have the excuse of being ironic (vindicated).
Every selfish person I know is expecting gifts but have never bought one themselves ever, which is well within expectations (vindicated).
So in the state of grace of being proven right once again and the knowledge that Christmas is just a useful social fiction which is used as a reset to help co-operative behaviours continue into the next year, I decided to at least pay lip-service to the humbug.
The breakthrough came when I found that the best Christmas card I received was sent by my regular curry house (I suspect they are trying to encourage future custom?).
I think I kind of get it now.
So after some thought, I decided to adapt Sheldon Cooper's famous friendship algorythm.
I suggest you might try it, should things get desperate.

Good luck and Merry Christmas (tip - don't roll your eyes as you say it - they notice).
And it will all be over Thursday. :135:
