It is December again.
The season of the year when we send out messages of good will to our fellow men; when we emulate the Wise Men from the East and bear gifts to those whom we love (urged on by sea sonal sales promotion, and the mass hypnosis of a weird in fluence we are pleased to term the Festive Spirit ); we struggle to maintain our own particular Status Symbol and, above all else, we Conform even if it means economic embarrassment.
We eat too much; we drink too much and we spend too much. Yet . . . “on with the dance; let Joy be unconfinedr For years now I have sent out my annual good wishes for peace and tolerance to all mankind, but somehow those inestimable qualities seem to be as far away as ever, and so, realistically, I simply wish you all a Happy Christmas and a Healthy New Year.
