Story goes that Santa used to be green, and that he was recoloured by that soft-drink company. Too true to be good?
We’re recharging our solar-powered batteries for a couple of weeks, back around 6 January 2014. And, however and wherever you are, whatever you are doing, we wish you well. ((I can’t resist a parting shot: let’s make 2014 the year of proper attribution, shall we? I found the picture of old green Santa here. No idea where he found it, and my search fu hasn’t been able to help. The recumbent green Santas I found here, with no hint of where Brian found it. Even though the photo itself contains all the information needed to credit it. So I’ve done that, which means I get to eat my mince pies with a large dollop of smug self-righteousness.))
May I join you, vicariously?

Season’s best to you, Jeremy. And to you, Luigi.

Mike
