Ready for Christmas

"Christmas is everywhere and people seem to be very aware (a few seconds longer before the door shuts or at least a smile at our energetic "Hi-AH's). Sister McKeen went berserk with the decorations you sent and the Lawrences bought us a little fiberoptic tree. Our room is a Christmas wonderland. I think I would die if I had to leave beloved Milton Keynes 2 weeks before Christmas, but I would do it if I had to."
