not working retail really DOES make me more obnoxiously Christmassy

Christmas music snippet:

Love shall be our token,
Love be yours and love be mine,
Love to guide and guard us,
Love for plea and gift and sign.
(Christina Rossetti, slightly mondegreened because I like mine better.)

Music?

I thought Christina Rossetti was a poet?

Yeah, sorry, didn't mean to be obscure. She was a poet, and the snippet is from a carol that she wrote, "Love Came Down at Christmas" which I was listening to Shawn Colvin's version of when I posted the snippet.

But as I have a small affection for the Rossettis, it amused me to discover this carol that I like was actually written by her, so that's how I credited it.

I haven't been in a Christmas-y mood at all lately. Except when I was buying my husband's presents.

Aw.
