I just read a very splendid hypothetical question by Lewis Carroll and I wanted to share it with everyone. Today was very Christmassy. I set up the presepe (which is an Italian kind of nativity scene, only it's the whole town. Here's a picture of one, rather more ornate than ours.) and William and I made gingerbread men, or rather gingerbread hobbits and kings and such. Tomorrow we're going to ice them. And we listened to Christmas music and watched the Grinch and Christmas Carol. Yesterday we watched the animated Jack Frost which is one of my favorite Christmas specials. I love Kubla Kraus and little Donnie and the k-nights, even though all those other little people get really sappy and sickening.

I read your recent postings
since I was feeling blue.
And then read up on Lewis,
which I am wont to do.
the results were astounding -
a quickly-timed sea-change!
As soon as I read through it,
my heart had loosed its pains.
So thank you, Bob the shorter,
your words were much in order!
I think this hasty rhyme deserves music. Anyway, about Lewis: I also think stuffy adults would say that Clive Staples Lewis ought to acquaint himself with the international date line. They would likely say that nowadays, we all measure days not by sunrises but by midnights. But I say this is a silly way of measuring such a thing as time, and whoever heard of making arbitrary lines for things like dates? I think we should be thankful for our oceans and languages and call it a new day whenever we get up!
It would make assignment deadlines rather more complicated, though.
