The trouble with Christmas is that it comes just before the end of the year. Early in January, lots of bills arrive. There I am, surrounded by presents, having spent all last year's salary and most of this year's, too, when little brown envelopes start dropping through the letter box. The gas, the electricity, the telephone-lots of pieces of paper, all asking for money.     I suppose the people who send these bills didn't want to spoil my Christmas, so they didn't send the bills to me before 25th December. It's really very kind of them, but I wish they'd send a letter to my bank manager explaining what is going to happen immediately after the holiday. Then he would be ready for me when I go to see him, and it would save me a difficult fifteen minutes while I explain why I need to borrow ￡ 200 and he tells me why I can't have it.     Next year it's all going to be different. In my house, we are going to have Christmas in July, during our summer holiday. So next December I'll have enough money in the bank to pay all the bills. It's a wonderful idea but the only problem is that my wife and children don't seem to like it very much..
