The metaphor actually refers to the babies sucking on their dummies. A lovely comparison I thought very early on �Xmas morning. The heading was an attention getter (which obviously worked) and a bit of tough in cheek humour.
Merry Christmas to you and all who are dear to you. |

You mean tongue-in-cheek...
Merry Christmas too!

I also get the feeling you meant �suckles� rather than sucks - it�s the closest appropriate word I could derive from your reasoning...
good attempt! A pity it wasn�t entirely taken with the spirit in which it was intended!
Best wishes of the season to you.
