Merry Christmas &c. to y’all, too. If you need me the next two days, I’ll be running the front end at my grocery store. At least we close 2 hours early on Sunday – not that the customers will leave at closing time (they haven’t yet, and this’ll be my 8th Christmas there). Thank God for Christmas buffets with open bars! ---
