A Christmas wish

I enjoy Dali and I enjoy Rhodes. 'The Colossus of Rhodes' is not my favourite work of his but it makes the point.  I yearn to be on the sunny Mediterranean island of Rhodes next December, avoiding all the angst Christmas generates and, instead of waiting for the turkey to be ready and setting the table for a gargantuan feast, then snoozing, simply strolling around the Old Town doing not very much of anything.  Or perhaps enjoying  a walk along a beach.  This is my Christmas wish for 2010.  Now all I have to do is persuade my lovely wife to take me in 2011. (If she reads this, I would be prepared to compromise on Andalusia.)
