Thanks for writing this James. Got a good laugh and a warm dose of something that feels like bourbon on an empty stomach. Merry Christmas to you friend. 🎄

James, the "....Christmas on Substack" was fantastic. You used terrific rhymes to tell your holiday story. I love that substack was the frame within you covered all sorts of holiday activities. The last verse was perfect.
