If you read the invitation, you'll see that it is clearly a holiday party, not a Christmas party. That could mean anything, you know. In fact, coming and considering it solstice or something would be a bit like tempting me to partake in heathen celebrations, if that helps. Also, I'll be making eggnog, and I'll have you know I make very good eggnog.
But if your mind's made up, I suppose there's nothing more I can do. Is it all right if I stop by tomorrow?
Your friend,
Aziraphale
All evidence to the contrary, he was not planning to give up. He wouldn't force Crowley, but, well, he was an angel, even if he was a cynical one. They may not have known exactly which night Christmas was on here, but he'd feel terribly leaving his best friend alone on the night everyone was celebrating. It just wasn't done.
