PUT ON YOUR CHRISTMAS COAT

Christmas, that time of the year when we become more humble and think, or try to, of our loved ones,  friends, relatives, vague acquaintances, long lost lovers, business partners etc. who in the daily rat race of our wild and exotic lives get stored away in the back of the closet of our minds and now all of a sudden gain a tad more importance, if only for a short while.
Charity is indeed a coat you wear twice a year, so who gets the first card and who gets the last?
