you always leave the sweetest comments :)

in re: Christmas carols, that was one of the things that my being brought up so totally un-churched made easier - because my family didn't have any particular relationship to Christianity one way or another, I'm able to enjoy a lot of Christian-derivative art on a pretty purely aesthetic basis. I've always been into the Christmas iconography and narrative, and anyway up here in the snowy north winter holidays are a big deal!
