Demon Baubles! (a brief christmas message…)

Predictably, it is the afternoon of Christmas Eve and we are still cleaning the house, and I still have some baubles to hang, and we have about 40 people arriving in about 3 hours for mulled wine… But I have actually wrapped up all my Christmas presents, which counts as seriously efficient for me… So, just time to wish you all a Very Merry: Christmas/ Atheist Piss-Up/ Late Winter Solstice/ Other Religious Festival of your Choice/ Hedonistic Party/ Bar Humbug… (please select as appropriate) Nancy xxx

The Devil’s in my Baubles!
