Very much on the side of the soldiers.

But also a very shrewd user of the music hall format, and the conventions of that format to tap into popular patriotism.

You might find this interesting Foots:

Father Christmas most likely. He goes under the bridge to sleep off all that sherry and brandy butter. Trolls get driven mad by the smell of kids and have to come out.

If Sundae had a troll, it'd be taken for a Sundae'stroll.

After Christmas dinner my family played Cards Against Humanity, and I had to explain to my father what a "taint" was. But he knows what bestiality is, too.

Technically we played after Christmas Eve dinner too, but it was the official Christmas meal for my dad's side of the family. On my in-laws' side we played the card game Gloom, because they would not be able to handle CAH.

We played with my "sainted" sister going in and out of the room. Her kids were wise with the timing of their plays.

The pre xmas party hosted by Twil for her work-mates included an *epic* Cards Against Humanity game. At least the beginning part was fun, I don't remember how the evening ended.... I did, however, solve the mystery of my severely bruised sternum. Twil's toilet has an elongated bowl. And it turns out there is such a thing as too much bourbon, though how much is too much remains a mystery.
