Hi Vectis

Just a little not to say, while the reindeer have accomplished their delivery, Santa is still thinking of you!

Meanwhile, down here near the South Pole, bushfires are burning!

I hope you have a happy white Christmas up North!

Some friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened
up a small florist shop to raise the funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the "Men of God," the rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. He asked his mother to ask the friars to get out of business. They ignored her, too. So the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to "persuade" them to close.

Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back
if they didn't close shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving
that...



Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars.
