And so this is Christmas

I managed to spend Christmas Night getting drunk with my brothers in Bar Buddha. One (of the two) bar staff was a woman dressed in a short, red, furry (and decidely festive) dress - with white trimming.

Upon talking to her and sympathising with her plight (working on Christmas Day), she replies with a line, which I feel perfectly sums up the modern magic of Christmas:

It's not that bad, I took a couple of pills before I started.

It could almost be It's A Wonderful Life.
