There are few things more cheerful than the sounds of a firetruck siren in the pre-dawn hours of chilly Christmas Eve in New Orleans (he thinks, eying the cranky panel heater in the wall next to him). Let’s hope it’s a false alarm. Since I’m up, I might as well get this out of the way. For the last couple of years, I’ve posted the same few things this time of year, usually adding a new link each year like adding a new ornament to the tree. Rather than start firing off a lot of reposts, here are the links to past posts should you be looking for A Holiday on Toulouse Street.
- A favorite William Burroughs’ The Junkie’s Christmas. If you find yourself wondering what this has to do with Christmas, may I recommend gifting yourself a copy of Thomas Jefferson’s New Testament.
- My own penny dreadful take on Dickens’ Christmas Carol, set in New Orleans. The Ghost of Christmas Future
- You might want to save this for Saturday morning. Hell, I may repost it on Christmas Day. Dylan Thomas’ A Child’s Christmas in Wales
- A new addition, to put you in the proper Christmas spirit: The Year Kenny Loggins Ruined Christmas.
And finally this, which I can’t resist posting up for your immediate enjoyment.
