The Christmas Banquet is not a happy or joyful occasion; it is not intended to be. Indeed, it's purpose is the extremist opposite as can be imagined. The last will and testament of an old, rich gentleman decreed that the interest from his investment fund was to be used for preparing a Christmas banquet for 10 of the most miserable persons that could be found. A sad, miserable person himself, the purpose of the banquet was to demonstrate that human discontent should not be forgotten for even one of the joyful days of the year. Of course, the diners found the fine food and wine to be miserable, uneatable. One must ask, "what is the purpose of such a banquet?"
