### Evelyn Waugh liked to send out satirical Christmas cards, and the apex (or nadir\] of this practice was reached during the Christmas season of 1929\. Waugh's card that year consisted of extracts reprinted from unfavorable reviews of his first novel, Decline and Fall. The harshest passage of all was taken from a review by Chesterton. \[Christopher Sykes, Evelyn Waugh, Boston, 1975, p. 98\]
