“But I am sure I have always thought of Christmas time, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.”
--"A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens
"Fellow-passengers to the grave," indeed. Let's celebrate the season with kindness, empathy, love, and books. Happy Holidays, all!
