Three kings from Persian lands afar

[venta]

Help. I have a dilemma. It is January 6th, Twelfth Night, and during the day (while waiting for code to compile, and so on) I have been carefully taking down the Christmas cards, holly and ivy which have been decking these halls of late. I don't, after all, want the goblins to get me.

However, does any know goblin views on poinsettia? There is a very large specimen of the genus Euphorbia pulcherrima sitting on the table, looking extremely Christmassy. Obviously I don't want to throw it away - but do I need to hide it, or disguise it, or anything ? Rebadge it as an early Easter decoration ?

To be honest, I don't think it's all that long for this world. The wretched thing has been slowly trying to die on me since dinner party guests brought it as a present shortly before Christmas. I phoned the more horticulturally-inclined parents to ask for advice on the care and feeding of a poinsettia, but the list of musts and must-nots was so long that I decided me and such a nesh plant were never going to get on very well.

That's like February and March happening on the same day.

My brother was in 2010 whilst simultaneously I was still in 2009 and that's an entirely different decade, does that count ;-).

Psh. Half the world manages that, on a smaller scale, every day. :)

Is it an entirely different decade? I think you've just opened a new can of worms there!
