It’s so sweet that the common people feel they can have a holiday, too. As long as they have it out of sight. In fact, we’ll give them Christmas. Let them have their fleeting moment of happiness, their “jollies” if you will. The better sorts will have to content themselves with oxygen.
“Did you hear something?”
“No, I can say that, after serious dint of effort, I heard nothing at all.”
“Like a small child briefly caroling, then drowning?”

One Response to “Christmas: Not for the plebes”
I love the little plastic guy with one eye! I would have rescued him and put him on my desk. :) You are making me laugh hysterically as always!
