I am departing tomorrow for a stay with my daughter in Bath and will thus not be using the internet for a while.
So I will take this opportunity to wish ALL on this Forum, regardless of religion or lack of it a very enjoyable Yule and New Year or Christmas and New Year or whatever you call the period between December 21 and 25 and December 31 and January 1.
Hostilities will recommence on January something after the hangover wears off.
A thought for Christmas - Father Christmas only comes once a year and then it is down a chimney - so how does he manage to smile all the time?

Take care, have fun, enjoy.

I trust he will visit you and yours! Again, season's greetings.

An enforced break from here - that really is a Xmas present :)

Saw this
Twas the Month After Christmas
Twas the month after Christmas, and all through the house
Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.
The cookies I'd nibbled, the eggnog I'd taste
At the holiday parties had gone to my waist.
When I got on the scales there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber).
I'd remember the marvelous meals I'd prepared;
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,
The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese
And the way I'd never said, "No thank you, please."
As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt—
I said to myself, as I only can
"You can't spend a winter disguised as a man!"
So—away with the last of the sour cream dip,
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished
"Till all the additional ounces have vanished.
I won't have a cookie—not even a lick.
I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick.
I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie,
I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.
I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore—
But isn't that what January is for?
Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all and to all a good diet!
