our attempt at a christmas ended in the traditional way, with a huge family kerfuffle and people running home in tears

in conclusion christmas is a goyish illuminati plot to undermine and poison my family and i will never tolerate its clammy touch upon my fine fine rear end ever again

Clearly stating your own wishes and position is generally a more successful communication strategy than implying and hoping the recipient will get it. If they won't accomodate a direct statement, they would not be swayed by a more indirect approach either.

btw i'm glad they gave bob dylan the nobel prize instead of my lord and prophet eliezer ben nisan, because leonard was a naturally polite man and probably would have at least turned up to the ceremony and gone through the motions whereas dylan is a surly old bitch who gave the whole thing the contempt it deserves and then we got a great performance out of patti smith
