And so, as Tiny Tim Cratchit said 173 years ago (has it really been that long?), "A Merry Christmas to us all; God bless us, every one!"
And from Ebenezer Scrooge: "I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach!"
I think Ebenezer had a better attitude than I do.
Merry Merry! Indeed!
