Here's hoping yours is filled with all sorts of good cheer, but not to the point where, due to drunken dissolution, you start gorging down on Junior's unassembled Airfix Hawker Hurricane model kit still in the box (and wrapping), leaving the kid completely shattered, disillusioned and going online to search for the worst reviewed aged care facilities available for future reference.
No "Cheer up, ya grinch!," will work this time, particularly if you end up hospitalised needing your stomach pumped, being tended to by a doctor demanding double time and a half rates who's grumbling something or other about seasonal idiocy and having their hand forced in guaranteeing the survival of society's very dumbest. I promise you, this will leave you feeling less than festive.
So remember to think ahead, stay safe, and overall, have a Merry Christmas.
