Christmas is Coming


I'm not putting out Christmas cards this year. I don't think Betty would have approved. I should only take a Christmas card sabbatical if I am:
  • wandering the countryside with a cat named Chester or Bolly or Tooks, homeless and fleeing dastardly step-brothers.
  • eking out a living by composing greeting cards and even then I should take care to see that my old nurse Baxter gets one with a precious bottle of sherry.
  • a recent orphan living with an aunt who has also recently become a widow. She is also, evidently, the only person I know.

    *you might also buy a gaily patterned Liberty print scarf for your old family housekeeper named Moggy.
