The Christmas Pixies have brought Christmassy cakes to today’s last-Council-meeting-before-Christmas. The difference between a Christmassy cake and a normally cake is that a Christmassy cake carries a veneer of gold spray paint, which may or may not be edible but since it’s Christmas, who cares? Fortunately, everyone knows you do not need to say thank you to the Pixies, because they only visit In Secret. So nobody does. (And for the record, the Pixies do not need permission from the Internal Governance Committee, because they pay for their own cakes and conduct their own pre-consumption tastings I mean risk assessments.) It is a long Council meeting, even with me being fierce in the Chair. This may be due to my having a mouthful of gold paint for a good proportion of the time, and thus being unable to shout at people. When I do shout at people, a festive spray of gold stars accompanies the shouting, which might almost look angelic if you were feeling really Christmassy, but they are not and so it doesn’t, and either way it rather ruins the effect of the fierceness. Also the damp cakey bits are undignified. We get lots done, though. We say No to several things. We say This is Outrageous to some other things. And we say What will our members think?? to some more things. Then we say, Actually, yes, what will our members think? And someone suggests asking our members what they will think but someone else says No, not yet and we all look relieved, because none of us is entirely sure how Survey Monkey® works but we daren’t admit it. Despite all the nay-saying, we still have lots left on the agenda for next time, in case we were thinking January might be a quiet month. Something to look forward to post-Christmas.
