….I am, even though I’m usually melancholy on Christmas night. Okay I’m a bit melancholy because the main event, Christmas Day, is over, but i had two successful parties and i did all the work— including decorating, as you can see.
it has all been wonderful once again. the annual miracle.
“in the light of that Star/ Lie the ages impearled” says the carol ”There’s song in the Air”. It’s true, each Christmas is a pearl, a disparate crystallization of experience. As John Crowley wrote, Christmases follow each other, not the quotidian days of the year in between.
i hope you all added another pearl to the strand of Christmases in your life this year, and i wish you many more.

I mean hammered when I say drunk. Playing with firearms (out of doors 0bvs) should also be part of the evening at some point.
