Or hoary old chestnut roasting on an open fire.
YOU decide.

Yikes.
The Grim Reaper Stray homeless guy Santa visits a children’s ward in the Union Infirmary (now Belfast City Hospital) in 1906.
It was a Christmas the children would never forget.
As you load up on turkey and beer,
And you kid yourself this is a mere,
Bullshit family day,
Let’s have fun and just play,
I love writing these, see you next year.
