Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - The C word

I've mentioned before - I work in a Catholic School so all mention of Christmas is banned, as it's not Christmas. The liturgical Christmas season starts on the 24th December (when many traditional Catholics decorate their houses).

At the moment, we're in Advent, a time of preparation for the arrival of Christ. We have an Advent Wreath in class, and are currently on the 'two purple candle' section (I have no idea what any of this means, but I do as I'm told and do a very good superficial impression of a cradle Catholic). We also have a Jesse Tree, but no other decorations or Christmas stuff.

I don't send cards. I take all the money that I would have spent on cards and send the Mrs to ASDA with it, where she buys me a bottle of Jack Daniels. I toast my friends as I drink it.

I had my first proper holiday to Dublin this year (in the Morgan). All my previous visits had been work related and we usually stayed in Maynooth Catholic Seminary. We are definitely going to holiday again but will probably fly - getting in and out of Dublin in the Morgan was a bit of a trafiic ballache, and we really like staying in town, or a short rail trip away (we stayed close to the Aviva). The Dart goes out to Dalkey so will add that to the list for next visit.

Whilst the Morgan is capable of much higher speeds I doubt I would want to explore it too often.
