Merry Christmas, Baby

The Heir, the Spare, and Mrs. King and I would like to wish all our friends on the Intertunnel a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Because I don’t really know you, I’d be more than willing to testify that you’re all the nicest people in the world. It’s only fair. You don’t really know us, but you’ve mistaken us for interesting people. I hope this makes us even. I am beset by doubts on that score. I have a hunch that the Sippican family is making out on the deal somehow. After all, I’m certain we’re not interesting. You might be nice.
