Dear Heavenly Beings and Sales Team,


I hope we can avoid some of the issues we had with last year's exuberant and spirited (no pun intended) gathering. We can all agree we had one Hell of a time – and that, I think, is part of the problem. I fear, in the aftermath of all that merrymaking, we may have broken one or two commandments. Remember...


1. Thou shalt be patient: I know 40 years is a long time to wait for nibbles, but I do not appreciate Moses heckling the kitchen staff.


2. Thou shalt avoid inappropriate comments: Asking Jesus when his birthday is, is not funny. And is not funny the twentieth time.


3. Thou shalt not steal office supplies: It took a dozen knights to find the pilfered Holy Grail. And I like a joke as much as the next man, but where have you put the Holy Ghost?


4. Thou shalt maintain confidentiality: If someone confesses their sins, even after a dozen pints, that does not give you the right to scrawl it on a toilet walls. I'm looking at you, Peter.


5. Thou shalt refrain from excessive revelry: We are now out of Altar wine and have been forced to use the Sacramental Cider.


6. Thou shalt not engage in workplace relationships: I know Mary was 14, but that does not give you the right to chase the cherubs.


7. Thou shalt enjoy the Quiz: But I do not appreciate the team name – 'Quiz on God's T$ts'


8. Thou shalt wear a festive jumper: I know, it's technically Satan's invention, but let's just power through, okay?


9. Thou shalt not ruin Secret Santa. By telling everyone who St. Nick is. Please.


10. Thou shalt be dignified: Not all souls need to be ar-souls.


Thank you for your attention and cooperation.


Sincerely,


God

The creator of creation is launching a new range of even tinier subatomic particles to keep up with demand from his busy little humans.


As science regularly seeks to plumb the depths of the fabric of existence, discovering even smaller bits to quantify, the supreme being is staying one step ahead. Subatomic physicist, Professor Sharon Booth, explained: “It’s such an exciting time. We’re on the verge of a breakthrough that will give humanity a greater understanding of the building blocks of matter.”


God responded: “Building blocks, particles… blah, blah, blah. They’ll find what they want to find. If you search with a magnet, eventually you’ll find iron. Apparently, they’re using the energy input of a small country to smash tiny particles together to reveal even tinier ones. Which they will, because I created them on my lunch break yesterday.


“They’ve found so many of my little distractions lately, they’re running out of names to call them. These ones will be ‘Throbs’ or ‘Quintisquibs’ or some other bollocky name like that. Oh, and they’ll have trite qualities, like bounciness, humourousness and vulnerability.”


Professor Booth, commented: “If the results from the accelerator match our mathematical modelling we’ll be within touching distance of the mind of God.”


“Haha! I’ve a feeling I’ll be playing this little game for many a lunchtime to come,” said God.
