From the word go, Caroline wanted to spend Christmas at her ancestral home, having spent the last four either in your village or on some vacation. You could not object. Not that she would have listened. Lately, women, or wives never listen to authority that is their men.

Just as well because your parents travelled to the States to visit your sister, and there will be nothing much going on in the village. So, when wife left yesterday, you comforted yourself at the bar. But around Christmas, bars are notoriously deserted. Most people in bars around Christmas are loners, with no place to go.
