[Somebody is all smiles today -- it might be a bit disturbing if you're used to him being grumpy.]
A belated Joyeux Noël to everyone. I was quite pleased by the turnout at church, and I do hope all of you enjoyed it as much as I.
It's miraculous how much traditions can make you feel like you're home, isn't it? I was afraid I'd have trouble with the day, given various circumstances, but that wasn't really the case after all. On the contrary, I enjoyed experiencing some things I wasn't used to -- though I still hope that my next Christmas will be alongside Mother once again. [A tiny sigh here, before a change in subject. Nobody wants him to wine about his mom over the network, right? ...although he would.]
On a different note, books have been a popular holiday gift, and for that I'm thankful. However, [given his authority on the topic] I urge you not to put too much trust in words of fiction about other time periods. [If this were a video, you'd see him frowning at a particular book in his hands.] History books as well, in some cases. It's tiring to explain corsets and afternoon tea to customers who've gotten their information from ridiculous sources.
