One Christmas my father kept our tree up till March. He hated to see it go. I loved that. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I love the excess of Christmas. The shopping season that begins in September, the bad pop star recordings of Christmas carols, the decorations that don't know when to come down. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
What I'm not saying is that all government spending is bad. It's not - far, far from it, but there is no free lunch, as a former colleague of mine used to say. There is no public tooth fairy. Father Christmas does not work on the Treasury staff this year. You can never bail someone out of trouble without putting someone else into trouble. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
My grandson sees me as Lois on TV every Christmas, and that scores me points. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Actually, my mother and Alfie came for three weeks' Christmas vacation and stayed for 21 years. I guess my mother never went back because she was lonely. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
We never really had any kind of a Christmas. This is one part where my memory fails me completely. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
For a long time all I wanted for Christmas were books about outdoor survival. I was convinced that the woods were calling me. I camped a lot, I took classes. At 18, I told myself if I don't live in the woods by myself by the time I'm 25, I have failed. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I have a musical called Goodbye and Good Luck, based on a Grace Paley short story. I also have King Island Christmas, and there are 20 different productions of it this year. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I'm sure most of us remember being a kid and you have all of this endless time where two weeks before Christmas feels like ten years. I used to go to bed to try and go to sleep to try and make it go faster. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
There's something about a Christmas sweater that will always make me laugh. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
