You know, as a bit of an agnostic, I am all in favour of this
rationalisation. Let's get it all done in one day, that's what I say.

Oh no, and miss all that time off!

Ahem. Surely an agnostic shouldn't want any of it, at any time, at all.
Or does agnostic require a hedging of at least one bet? ;-)

Even us agnostics like to have a rest every now and again, or should Xmas
be
renamed a bank holiday?

Definitely NOT! I'm a traditionalist!


Baa, humbug!

No, no and NO. That's the whole point. I love Christmas even while I hate
its excesses! I want to wallow in every last bit of sellotape and tinsel
and of course, with The Grand Daughter, it becomes ever more exciting and
interesting. This year she will come with us to the farm owned by her
schoolfriend's parents and help us choose the BIG tree for the hall. The
'little' tree that goes on a table in the dining room is hers and she does
whatever she wishes to decorate that. No, Alan. I LOVE Christmas and have
my own very sincere beliefs which are not, perhaps, entirely conventional
but nonetheless genuine.
