There are two kinds of people in this world-- those that do, and those that don't. Sacrifice comes with rewards-- 'playing it by the book', doesn't pay off in the long run. Christmas is a time of giving back to the community, whether by donations or gifts. If the whiskey is sour, the egg-nog must be too: learn to distinguish good from evil, be aware of the task at hand, and don't 'judge a book by it's cover'.
