Joy: Christmas with the Tabernacle Choir from @pbs.org managed to be the first thing this year that changed my Bah Humbug to something approaching the Christmas spirit. Amazing performances. The choir sings in three languages with no scores. Impressive.

Today's puzzle was tough! Even though I am an art lover, I had to fight hard to get to the end. Was it perfect? No. But, it was a fun Sunday grid.
I loved today’s puzzle, warts and all. Outrageously ambitious & highly entertaining—all the things Sunday is supposed to be and rarely is #NYTXW

I also love how many people apparently HATE IT. All I want is to be the Richard Brody of xword criticism. Today’s puzzle is my MEGALOPOLIS! ❤️
This is the hardest NYT crossword I’ve done in a while. Complicated, making it hard.

Just finished season five. When actors hand you lemons, make limoncello. The creative team and the actors have elevated the series to a whole other story. I am impressed. #Masterpiece #MissScarlet

Today would have been my 39th wedding anniversary. Just another of the many lives I may have led if I had made different decisions. Interesting to imagine.

OUP’s word of the year is “brain rot,” a phrase commonly used on social media to describe the deterioration of a person’s mental state brought on by overconsumption of trivial online content. “Brain rot” triumphed over other contenders including “lore,” “demure,” “romantasy” and “dynamic pricing.”

Edith Wharton's "Roman Fever" has the best closing line of any short story ever written. Prove me wrong...
