“So this is Christmas,” sang John Lennon, “and what have you done?”
That Lennon — never one to get a point.
Whatever Christmas means, you can trust me: it’s not about what you’ve done. When you get stock-taking at the end of the year, you can easily get more than a little depressed. How has the year worked out? Did you achieve all the goals you set for yourself? Did you always live up to the mark, always do your best, and always win what you hoped? How’s it all been going?
Merry, merry Christmas indeed!
