I’m currently reading an annotated edition of “A Christmas Carol.” Conservatives like to claim that there’s a war on Christmas now? They don’t know from wars on Christmas. According to the book’s lengthy intro, back in the 17th Century England’s Roundhead government basically banned Christmas celebrations. Dickens’ book is largely credited for reigniting Christmas festivities after several centuries of very muted celebrating.
AMC just repeated the magnificent George C. Scott version of the classic tale. If you haven’t seen it, seek it out on DVD.
Many happy returns of the day to all, and to all a good night.
