CbC Christmas special! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

In our current CbC UT discussion, we're finishing off the First Age. Before we move on to the Second, how about taking a lighthearted holiday break?! I'd like to reread the Father Christmas letters, and if you want to join me, we can discuss them more quickly than we usually do, as they're not so difficult nor long.

I'd like to go through, taking one year each day - with some breaks for holidays where necessary. That way we'll finish this charming book shortly after New Year's Day before we return to more serious matters.

Anyone interested in participating?

I posted the first thread for this discussion today, introducing the book and the first "chapter". Now I look forward to your contributions!

As I have noted elsewhere, I think this is a brilliant idea and I will definitely participate in this, just as soon as I get a bit of time to read, I shall post something
