ITTTTTTTT'SSSSSSS CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

Christmas comes, but once a year is enough.


-- Anon


I love the Christmas-tide and yet,
I notice this, eachyear I live;
I always like the gifts I get,
But I love the gifts I give.

The first rule in buying Christmas presents is select something shiny. If the chosen object is of leather, the leather must look as if it has been well greased; if of silver, it must gleam with the light that was never on sea or land. This is because the the wariest person will often mistake shininess for expensiveness.


-- P.G.Wodehouse.
