A bitter correspondence.
Dickens!
Enough foolery! Greedy? Humbug! Insensitive? Judgemental knicker licker!
My name often produces queer reactions, “Scrooge!” they utter, voices whimpering . . .
Xmas? Yippee!

*(Zippy was Cratchit’s nickname for Scrooge. It was in the first draft. I read that in an abridged version of A Christmas Carol. Unfortunately it’s out of print so you’ll have to take my word.)

Thank you, oldpesky. I may be in the UK next year at some point. Maybe one day we can compare notes and sing Plastic Jesus together.
