[Panel 1]
[Steve]
You're off tomorrow then?

[Bell]
That's right.

[Steve]
Never mind, Bell. You can't
get out of it EVERY year.

[Bell]
Oh, it's not that bad really.

[Steve]
Oh, yeah?

[Bell]
Yeah. In fact it
could be a lot worse.

[Panel 2]
[Steve]
That's not what you said last year.
Or the year before.

[Bell]
THIS year I'm going by TRAIN.

[Steve]
Ah. Luxury travel.
That explains it then.

[Bell]
And I do like my
family too, you know.

[Steve]
Oh, ah?

[Panel 3]
[Bell]
Well, mostly.

[Steve]
Uh-huh

[Bell]
Most of them.

[Steve]
Sure

[Bell]
Not the uncles, as a rule.

And my aunts are a bit silly.

[Steve]
Mmmmm

[Bell]
Look, I love my mum, OK? And it makes
her happy if I'm there for Christmas.

[Panel 4]
[Steve]
That's a good enough
reason to go home.

[Bell]
And anyway I need to
ransack her recipe drawer
for Ginny's catering thing.

[Steve]
Now that's what I
call a good reason.

Well, 'appy Christmas then.

Crossed fingers...

[Bell]
Argh!
