Maybe the great Goblin impy in the sky wants ye to have Christmas dinner at home full of roasted beasts and tasty treats, so delayed ye, instead of red and green jellos in hospital for Christmas.
Be careful though, ifn it be new years eve when they let ye in there, I think hospitals serve up yello and pink jellos...sort of confetti looking and it yucky. Course ye may like it.
Ye take care, keep us posted. I kinda miss ye on the island, so get all betters soon as ye can.
