Well, hello and happy Christmas to everybody. What? Okay. Firstly, it's not December, so

you can't be happy. It's not December now, but it might be by the time you're preemptively.

This is like Sunday. Christmas is like people making it was not this Sunday. It's like

people making Christmas movies in, you know, in the middle of the middle of the summer,

which is course when they made it. I was walking through Central Park in New York one summer,

check you out, and it started snowing. And I thought, wow. And then we realized that it

was fake snow. It was movie snow being blown from the set of Home Alone 2, which was filmed

in that hotel on the corner of Central Park. And they were blowing it with great big,

you know, those leave blowers going at blowers. And it was going up into the end. It was

drifting over Central Park, creating the strain thing in the middle of the summer. It

was July. It was very hot. These snowflakes, these icy snow. Yeah, it was good. It was a

moment of magic which December on Sunday. So if people are doing this on, you know, if

they're listening to this Sunday or afterwards, it's sort of December. But it's Friday

now. And it's not happy Christmas yet. December will be magic again as Kate said. Great.

Kate Bush. It's a song. It's a musical reference. I know, but it's not December, but it

might be by the time this goes Christmas is a month away. No, it's about three weeks

away. How many days in a week? Seven, 177, 2714, 3721, 4728. So it's nearly four weeks

away. But it is four weeks away. It is, we are four, four weeks away from Christmas.
