Hey I love Christmas. I love giving presents and eating Christmas dinner. I love the sound of Christmas carols. I love the sherry for sure.
I love the general Christmassy atmosphere. Wanna know why? Because like most people I know, I was raised in a broadly Christian country, attending broadly Christian schools and with a broad acceptance of the little baby Jebus. My initial love of history no doubt stems as much from watching biblical tales on TV at Easter as it did from any other source.
The trappings of Christmas are an instant connection to childhood magic.
Like Santa Claus and the fairy on the top of the Christmas tree.
I don't believe in ghosts either, but that doesn't mean I wasn't thrilled by The Grudge. Don't believe in witches and vampires but I fucking love True Blood.
