My father in law has done his traditional Christmas Day Facebook post to remind us of the true meaning of the day:
Reminding us of the greatest Christmas of all, December 25th, 1989, when they shot that bastard Ceaușescu

Loved Bugonia. 🐝 Particularly the nod to 1970s Doctor Who! Back home and under my blanket and catching up on Carols from King’s now. A Negroni or a Baileys to accompany?
