Good morning, and happy Christmas! Stop reading your phone, your children want to play with you.
But if you must spend this sacred time with your favourite newsletter, please do not expect any goodwill or glad tidings: we will be devoting the day to our now-traditional compendium of the most obnoxious features of the year gone by. (By traditional I mean that this is the second one, I did it last year even if you don’t remember it, on the whole I found it quite a cathartic exercise, and nobody has stopped me from doing it again.)
