Merry Christmas (and etc.) to all

Thank you, Tom Ender and Ender's Review, for highlighting Claire Wolfe's perfect Christmas musing, "O Little Town of Hardyville."

"We kindle Yule logs and illuminate Christmas trees. We string sparkling ornaments around our houses. We light menorahs. We sing of stars in the east. We dance around bonfires. We light candles on altars. All to say, 'The world is dark now, but glorious radience will return.'" ...

"Merry Christmas.

"Happy Hannukah.

"Gud Yule.

"Freedom on earth."
