Really looking forward to tonight. We follow the Icelandic tradition of Jólabókaflóð, literally 'Christmas book flood'. Rather than watching regrettable repeats on TV, you give each other a book and then settle down with a nice hot chocolate to read them. It's fab! 📚

"And Tiny Tim, who does not feel pity, or remorse, or fear, and absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead"

"And Tiny Tim, who would not die" = sinister, alarming.
