		I just listened to The Shepherd , as I do every Christmas Eve, which means that for me it is now Christmas.
 
Happy Christmas, everyone. Here's hoping that next year will be better than this year.

		I'm with Norgarth. 4-6 inches of snow over the last 24 hours. I also received a bottle of Scotch and plenty of theobromine. And books to add to Mount Tsundoku.
 Merry Christmas, you filthy animals.

Bump for 2021 - a bit before the broadcast so that folks can listen to the reading over the air if you want to.

		It's 20 minutes to midnight as I write this, so a slightly early Merry Christmas to everyone in the forums who observe.
