[Rosie] Thank you. I must have missed that information, thanks for the clarification. As far as wrapping up well is concerned your Mum's advice sounds like it should have been originally decreed by one of those pesky Yorkshire men (before they subsisted on gravel, of course). ;)

Happy Christmas, whether you believe in anything or not. I like Dec 25th - probably my happiest day of the year.

Merry Christmas from your friends in the States. Today in Seattle (where it is still the 24th for another few hours) the weather was truly lovely - a Christmas oddity since we usually receive rain every December.
Thanks for inventing MC, and then for letting us with no Tubes play too. =)

Merry Chingmas!

Happy Non-Demominational Generic Winter Season Festival, everyone. (I'm told Hannukah is still on back order.)
