The best thing he ever did was actually out of his control- his birthhday was a convenient lead-in to Christmas. Its never been as good since.

Nonetheless, good luck and good health sir!

A good man. A nature lover, caught in his destiny prison.

I am glad he is getting these years to enjoy life after being an emperor
