Annie from "Ask Annie" would like to wish all the Readers of the Tunaville Gazette a Very Merry Christmas and most of all a Happy and Healthy New Year.

At this time of year tempers can fray easily and arguments can arise out of small incidents. Below are a list of steps that can be taken to ensure this does not happen in your family during this wonderful time of year !

• Whatever happens don't forget to buy your wife a Christmas Present - this is unforgivable.

• Whatever else, don't buy your wife anything with the Hello Kitty motif - this too is unforgivable.

• If you send your Secretary flowers or buy her silk underwear - don't leave the receipts lying around - again this is unforgivable.

• Don't go home late and legless on Christmas Eve and expect the tree to be trimmed, the children to be in bed, all the presents beautifully wrapped under the tree, the turkey to be stuffed, the cake to be baked, the house sparkling and your wife sitting patiently waiting for your return so that you can both enjoy a glass of mulled wine together and listen to Bing Crosby singing White Christmas on the latest CD - this is not only unforgivable, it is a hanging offence.

• Don't arrive home from the Office Party with lipstick on your collar or on your underpants - yet again this is a hanging offence.

Merry Xmas Everyone !!!!
