Jauchze laut, Jerusalem!

It wouldn't be Christmas Eve without staying up past midnight to help Mom finish wrapping her gifts to everyone.

Merry Christmas, to each and every one of you (who celebrate it. To those who don't, er...chifan kuaile! [Enjoy your Chinese food tomorrow.]).

Best new (to me) carol of the year: "Tochter Zion, freue Dich!" (Details to follow.)
