Merry Christmas!

To all who celebrate, and to all who do not, here's some great writing:

I have always thought of Christmas time…as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time: the only time in the long calendar of the year when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. And therefore...I believe that it has done me good, and will do me good; and I say, "God bless it!"~from A Christmas Carol
