Let's say you have a small treasure trove's worth of history tucked away: a collection of carols from a civilization whose peak has long since passed - for all intents and purposes, a hidden record of holidays in song.

It's something to be cherished, right? Something to be remembered from a place of delight, not disgust?

Strayed a bit with this one. Let me know if you're dissatisfied and I'll whip up another. In any case - to you, and everyone reading this - Happy Holidays, and I'll see you all next year. Hopefully with more than three published stories, of course.
