— Sylvester McCoy in The Secret Policeman’s Ball
A few years ago, I discovered that there’s something even better than receiving presents. And that’s giving presents. And seeing the faces of the people as they receive presents. So now that I’m Independently WealthyTM, I can dote on my friends and buy lots of gips (as we call ’em in my family.) I was wrapping presents last night and finished them tonight. Once I got them under my tree, I realized I might have gone a bit overboard. But, nah, my family and friends are worth it!
Here it is, my tree with far too many gips under it. Excess! That’s what this act’s about!
