Merry Christmas! I've just been informed that it is actually still Christmas - the second day of it - so I'm actually not late at all.

Merry (belated) Christmas and, since we are at it and it's only 4 hours hence down my road - Happy New Year too (Hannukah and all other coinciding festivities including )
