Just a quick festive note to wish you all a joyful and triumphant Christmas and a positively succulent and bounteous new year.
I hope you receive everything you need; some of the things you want and at least one thing to surprise and delight you.
May you start 2008 with energy and purpose; may you finish it a better person than you started it and may the bird of paradise fly up your nose.
I'm off to make Santa a Black Russian. Ho, Ho, Ho!
