Better late than never

So I just randomly listened to Oslo Gospel Choir doing "En stjerne skinner i natt" - it was in my iTunes Genius recommendations - and all the Christmas spirit that's completely eluded me over the past month hit me like a truck. OH GREAT, I have class in half an hour and I'm WEEPING A BIT.

and going to class isn't going to improve matters, because we're doing "George Silverman's Explanation", which is a Dickens short story that has no point other than to be sad, and not in the Little Nell sentimental-death-scene way but in the grim, quiet despair sort of way where I don't want to consider the extraordinary use of the first-person narrator but just go "ohhhhh".

At least I'm wearing a dress, because I'm going to the King's Manor Christmas lunch afterwards. That should help a bit.
