I do not encourage the two way (or one way) dispatch of festive firelighters. An anodyne greeting across the waves of SN or SH is more than adequate, perhaps Email. Just to know who still breaths without, at such festive time, the bad manners of letting-on if one approves of that individual state or not (the humidity, anyway, makes them difficult to stand up on the mantelpiece let alone light, just as it prevents triangular stamps from sticking).

The Christmas curry includes the baconny and sausagie bits of the Big Boxing Day Breakfast - an event not too different from an Ulster fry if not tackled on such a regular basis.
