"Good tiding we bring, to you and your kin, we wish you Merry Chrismas and a Happy New Year!" [aside to yon puppy that doesn't mush or hush: you're a fiesty one, and amidst the babel here, your repartee and outstanding wit has oft added mirth and livened things up. And as an entrenched member of the peanut gallery I declare "Enchante bien, mademoiselle. A votre sante !" ]
