Take my good wishes anyway you choose to. If you believe in a make-believe invisible sky person, then I hope you are having a marvellous time pretending that he is the cause of your merriment, even though it’s clearly a political/corporate decision as to whether you’ve got the day off. Merry Christmas!
If you’re more inclined to go with Christopher Hitchens thoughts on today, then Happy Holidays to you. Perhaps you’re more of a devotee to the John McClane style of festive fun, in which case, Yippee Ki-yay! If you’re a Mexican, then I can but apologise for being a day late with my Feliz Navidaddery.
But whatever is your choice of celebration, or lack thereof, do have a marvellous day. Unless you’re Donald Trump – may you die soon, and painfully. And you can take this and shove it up your five-year-social-media-check-up hole, and swivel. 🎅

I like the last one. Or the one on Seinfeld several years ago:
Happy Festuvus to you and Mrs. P!

A very merry Festivus to you both as well!

Best Christmas card of the year, old friend. Live and let live and may the old fascist not.

Quite! The world would get on much better without Donald Putin and Vladimir Trump.

Belated Happy Chrimas, as my eldest said nearly four decades ago! We had a sort of weird one this year cooking two turkeys which a mad eclectic bunch of lunatics descended and devoured completely with all the fixings and then once their thirst was quenched vanished into the night.
Hope you had as much fun as we did, unfortunately no banana or photos for comparison.
Have a wonderful new ear with Mrs P and by all means regale us with your exploits in the coming days, years etc.
Many thanks and best wishes for 2026

Glad you had a good one Colm! We had our share of lunatics for company, but happily they managed to keep a lid on it for two days!
