There is only one thing You Must Not Say. Don’t admit to being pregnant-even if you are – they will follow you around all day/week/month mouthing old wives tales and monitoring your alcohol intake. You will become homicidal and Saturnalia is such a bad time to be killing relatives – no matter how much they deserve it.
