Christmas 1939


13th December 1939
Oh an English Christmas! We are not Christians; we are not social; we have no part in the fabric of the world, but all the same, Christmas flattens us out like a steam roller; turkey, pudding, tips, waits, holly, good wishes, presents, sweets...


Virginia Woolf
Letter to Jacques Raverat
26th December 1924
