(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!
.... Happy Holidays to the subscribers of infowarrior-l!
