>Sorry! Sorry! I'm the worst humbug of the lot! They came around with the "secret Santa" draw today and I nearly took their head off! I can't stand any mention of the X word at least until Dec 1, but there's an ever-rising tide of earlier and earlier each year, and it's hard to keep fighting it off. A shop along the way from our offices has huge inflatable Santa and Snowman waving outside, that have been there since late October. In my office the b***tards keep humming X songs and I wanna kill!

I guess I'm lucky - yours was the first direct exposure to the upcoming that I've been subjected to <g>. Oh - I take it back. I got stuck in traffic in town today behind three guys in a cherry picker trying to crucify a reindeer on a lamp-post (I guess they were confused about the plot).

>What I meant was "I'm not likely to go out and buy it for myself".
You could do worse....

Best,

P.S. What's a 'secret santa' draw ?
