Outside my window there's a thick fog, which matches so much with the essay you wrote and I'm reading again. From november till december I think of ghosts. On Christmas Day I invite them to come in to enjoy it with me. Being invisible, even if I have company at home they are not likely to scare any human guest. Nevertheless, I can sense them around - departed relatives and a couple of friends. Or is it my imagination?... It doesn't matter, really, as long as I can experience it. I liked your report about Ruth Rendell's 'ghostly' visitation and find also that in this time of the year the veil that separates both worlds get thinner.
Happy Christmas Jeanette. I read Christmas Days (and A Christmas Carol) every year, and I make gravlax for Christmas Eve. I never enjoyed Christmas, but I’m gradually building my own traditions inspired by yours and learning to appreciate this time of year in my own way. Thank you 🙏🎄
I am in love with your writing. Thanks for this wonderful post. After reading what happened with Ruth I thought, this is why I read ghost stories and magical books. To get in touch *that*! Looking forward to more!

What a lovely post! I reread A Christmas Carol every year too! I thought I was strange doing this but it’s reassuring I’m in good company!!
