Dousing the candle

Barring some earth-shattering news event, I’m dousing the candle on “The Portal” to engage Christmas in my traditional, low-tech way. (**Batteries and the Internet are not included.)

So, see you after the holiday.

“He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”
