(Ganked from one of my favorite sitcom series of the 1980s that ran on
BBC --- "Yes (Prime) Minister.")

Bernard: Before you go home for the holidays, Minister, Sir Humphrey
has something to say to you.
Sir Humphrey: Minister, Just one thing. I wonder if I might crave your
momentary indulgence in order to discharge a, by-no-means disagreeable
obligation, which is over the years become more-or-less, an
established practice within government circles, as we approach the
terminal period of the year, calendar of-course not financial. In fact
not to put a too fine a point on it, week 51, and submit to you, with
all appropriate deference for your consideration at a convenient
juncture, a sincere and sanguine expectation and indeed confidence.
Indeed one might go so far to say, hope, that the aforementioned
period may be, at the end of the day, when all relevant factors have
been taken into consideration, susceptible of being deemed to be such
as, to merit the final verdict of having been, by-no-means
unsatisfactory in it¹s overall outcome and in the final analysis to
give grounds for being judged, on mature reflection to have been
conducive to generating a degree of gratification, which will be seen
in retrospect to have been significantly higher than the general
average.
Jim Hacker: Humphrey, are you saying Happy Christmas?
Sir Humphrey: Yes Minister!
