Hmmm, haven't found it yet, so I guess I'd better ask for another letter. A, please.

Those lines look like poetry, but I haven't been able to locate them. Maybe another letter will help: E, please.

Aha! An unexpected location, yet wonderfully chosen! Tolkien quotes from Drayton's Nymphidia:

As I live not so very far from your location, I imagine the weather is pretty much the same. It's stormy and rainy - not at all Christmasy. But candles help to spread natural light and chase away depression. Here's a new quote to cheer you up:

I can't do without some T !
edit: I found it even without tea "I am glad that with you the weather is warmish. It is not warm here. We have had tremendous icy winds and terrific snow-storms, and my old house is quite buried." Father Christmas in his letter from 1932 (with the lovely Oxford silhouette)

Aww, you skipped T-time?! Well done, Guinevere! Next one's yours...
(Apparently the North Pole is keeping its cold weather this year, at least so far.)

Well, as any mention of "tea" gets my immediate attention, I do know where the quote is to be found without any further clues.
