Ah, sorry about that.
Mind you the only Christmas spirit I have here is artificial as well, brought on by playing Trans Siberian Orchestra "Christmas Eve and Other Stories" to get me in the frame of mind to wrap pressies and do the final food shopping lists (one for today, and one for Xmas eve - perishables only)

One Christmas spirit can begat even more.

That's it! My chores* are done, the lunch is on, we await returning wife and daughter then festivities shall comenseth. Going over to the gym for a wee [while] swim and maybe a glass of something fortifying. Then parents, brother and home in time for bubbles.
* What chores? A double.

Per recipient or total for everyone?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

It's the most wonderful time for a beer.

... caught the sniffles right before elephanting christmas, slept like 3 hours and exceeded my regular grumpiness... 
(yes|no|maybe)*

Look at the advantage...
You are ill so do not have to do all the prep, but will be sufficiently recovered in 4 days time to enable you to enjoy the prezzies.

slightly convinced... I don't do preps at all, prezzies are off the table, but I'm looking forward to ![Beer | [beer]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)  
still the sniffles are annoying...

Get off the site: we don't want viruses here!
|
|

Shouldn't that be "virii" 
(yes|no|maybe)*
|

Sorry, but it's option two from your sig! 
True, the word "virus" comes directly from Latin (for "slime" or "poison"), but not all Latin words ending in -us have -i as their plural. Besides, "viri" is the Latin word for "men" (plural of "vir", "man", the root of English "virile"). The convention for forming the plural of Latin words in English is to use the Latin plural form, or (if Latin does not actually have a plural form) to form the plural in the normal manner used for other English words. "Virus" is a second declension noun ending in -us, so it gets -es appended.
Such a simple language!
(My Latin master would have had a fit to see that: he despaired of getting me to cope with "amo, amas, amat" never mind using "second declension noun" in normal conversation))

At least I'm ending the day a little bit smarter than it began... thanks to you

Perfectly normal for this place - I'm just surprised DD didn't jump on this one!

Interesting fact:
The Geordie phrase "whey-aye", pronounced more like "Why eye" has a latin derivation, and should probably be spelled Wii - but Nintendo trademarked the name. It was originally the plural of Wus as in Wimp.
So Newcastle Brown drinkers, seeing la-de-da southerners drinking their lager shandies, would shout out "whey-aye man!" meaning 'there are some wimps, old chap"
This is the accusative plural, of course.

Been years since I last had a Newky Broon - I stopped drinking it when it came out in cans... 
|
|
|
|

I stopped drinking it when I tasted it
(not quite true - it's not so bad. And I'll drink pretty much anything).
