Merry Christmas! Our heroes read two Russian Christmas stories: Tolstoy's “Where Love is God is there also” and Dostoyevsky's “Beggar Boy at Christ’s Christmas Tree." Um, they weren't that great. But it's still a fun little Christmas episode with some discussion of short stories. So yay! Next week War and Peace, baby.
