It's Christmas! Ah, Christmas, the time when all good people go about not decapitating each other.
Christmas is a good time to take stock of our blessings.

But I am sure that I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round...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.
