My lavender shirt may be askew and my hair unkempt, but I have a lot to say about Christmas in this video made by the Pasadena City Courier staff and one of my women’s history students, Polly. (I start at :45, but watch the whole thing, all the way to a final benediction in the end.)






It’s interesting: I’ve been reading your blog for years now, but I’d never heard your voice before. I didn’t have any particular expectations of it, but it was interesting to hear.
I am not always quite so manic.
That was hilarious, Hugo.
You were very cute in your mania.
This video was great! I agree with you — Christmas is not overrated. I started buying and wrapping and decorating very early. I even started listening to Christmas music early.
