christmas thoughts

something i did when i was bored, but i like it

it's one of my favourite quotes on christmas, by Charles Dickens:

"I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable 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."

my "version" of his quote is just a little bit shortened
