Seriously, though – Pastis knocks this one out of the ballpark.
The “Merry Christmas” part, though, is in the realization that we aren’t bound by Airplaneseatreclinology any more.
Oh, and Deene’s got a wonderful post about Christmas.
Postscript: Pastis proves he’s a softie at heart with my absolute favorite holiday special moment of all time:
Jank, a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthy New Year!!
Merry Christmas to all the Janks!! We are in Westerly for two days–so close yet so far:)
Have a great new year, Billy.
