| Part of the celebration of Christmas on the island of Nantucket includes
the annual "Christmas Stroll." Private yachts in the harbor also
are festively decorated for the occasion.
One yachtsman hired a local ship's chandler to decorate his ship
like a Christmas tree, with branches and boughs to hang over all
the rigging.
However, when the yachtsman got down to the dock, he found that
the contractor was on the boat next to his. The incensed yacht-owner
called up to the worker, "Ahoy! You're treeing up the wrong barque!"
============================
Word definitions: "Meretricious", as in "We wish you a Meretricious
and a happy New Year."

| Many years ago, the British satire magazine, Private Eye, published
a Christmas record (which I had at one time, but is probably long gone).
In it, they discussed the commercialization of the season:
Christmas is the time when all the shops and storekeepers
have a chance to turn a gigantic profit. It was our lord
himself who said "And there shall come a great prophet
throughout the land."
I just quote 'em.
Martin.
