Two men sat behind me on the bus home from work today. One of them had just finished his last day at work before Christmas.
"Lucky you" said the other one. "You will have some nice, quiet time before the holidays".
"Oh, you know," said the first one, "women! My wife has a looooong list of things which HAVE to be done before Christmas. Yesterday I tried to persuade her to slow down, telling her that Christmas will come anyway. Believe me, those were the complete wrong words!"

I love to follow bits and pieces of conversation. I never turned around to look at the men, but have a funny inner picture today of a man with bucket and broom scrubbing the bathroom tiles with his wife supervising.
