The best Christmas is the one you spend with friends, family, good food and enjoyable activities. So when people ask me what I want for Christmas, I have the perfect answer, straight from C. S. Lewis, “You can’t get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me.”
What do I want for Christmas?
That’s an easy demand.
I want an absorbing book
And time that I command.

As she left, one hissed, “your brush is bigger than mine.”
