Christmas message from Bob

Once again Christmas has arrived and we’re all on tenterhooks, aren’t we? Well, at least I am. Wherever you come from or wherever you are, you can get into the Christmas spirit.

I’m going to eat and drink as much as possible. People need to work. If I eat a lot, lots of waiters will work, won’t they? If I drink a lot, lots of barmen will also work. If I travel a lot, pilots, bus drivers and taxi drivers will be busy. So, pull your fingers out and start enjoying yourselves.

Don’t be a Scrooge this Christmas. There’s no place for austerity at Yuletide. So come on, enjoy yourselves this Christmas! Well, I hope you all have a wonderful and positive Christmas, and I wish you all the best for 2013
