I actually share her view and understand her frustration when any government attempts to ban secular symbols like Santa Claus or Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer or Christmas lights.

Brits and Americans have hundreds of different phrases for the same thing. Luckily it's usually a source of amusement rather than frustration. A flashlight by any other name is still a torch. My personal favourite is 'fairy lights ' which we boringly refer to as 'Christmas lights.'

I love Christmas not just because of the presents but because of all the decorations and lights and the warmth of the season.

Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves some turn up their noses and some don't turn up at all.

Whether they give or refuse it delights women just the same to have been asked.

The truth is the Super Bowl long ago became more than just a football game. It's part of our culture like turkey at Thanksgiving and lights at Christmas and like those holidays beyond their meaning a factor in our economy.

Few delights can equal the presence of one whom we trust utterly.

I used my aviation contacts to open a travel agency. I used to book Caribbean flights.

It's very expensive to be a professional tennis player with all the travel and the flights and the hotels and everything.

On long haul flights I always drink loads and loads of water and eat light and healthy food.
