How Did You Do?
1-3 points: what an awful day you've had. Nothing's gone right. You had to bake the bread order twice for the pub as the first lot were burned to a crisp when you nodded off due to exhaustion. Now you're running late with your order, your tray has tipped over and a stray dog has snatched one of the rolls from the snow covered path. You almost trip over a man shoveling snow and those carol singers are just dreadful and not helping your headache. Could this day get any worse?
4-7 points: you'd love to get on home now as you've been up since the crack of dawn, but you've had a slow day and not sold many chestnuts. Perhaps your luck will change this evening as there are people milling about wanting to listen to the carol singers or passing by on their way to The Bells for a swift half. You roast more chestnuts and yawn. At least you're warm and toasty.
8-10 points: business has concluded for the day and you walk as swiftly as you can across the snow to get to The Bells. You can't wait to sit in the comfy leather chair by the fireside with your good friends and enjoy a refreshing pint, a warm pie and some interesting conversation. The carol singers are belting out Ding Dong Merrily on High which seems highly appropriate and a smile spreads across your face. You love this cheerful time of year.
11-12 points: you're having a great evening singing carols outside the manor house in Bethlehem Lane. The door opens and you all stop singing, fearing you'll be told to be quiet and move on. Instead, the butler welcomes you all inside to sing for the family by their Christmas tree. Afterwards you're all treated to mince pies, cake, champagne and even gifts to take home. This is an evening you'll look back on with fondness for a very long time to come.
