In a phrase to cut these lips

Shakespeare, scurvy, and everything in between.

Have yourself a Merry little Christmas

Sometimes (I act like this is in reference to general events but it’s really tonight) the hardest truths to hear are also the most unexpected. 

Hindsight is the clearest and most difficult vision of all.

There is no redeeming factor for this post, only the way I take things harder than I ever should because I always believe I should have known better.

So hang a shining star upon the highest bough, and have yourself a Merry little Christmas now.
