"Curiosity is the only thing that really carries through time, isn't it? The creative curiosity, I mean, which fights its way into expression?"

Christmas, in fact, is not an external event at all, but a piece of one's home that one carries in one's heart: like a nursery story, its validity rests on exact repetition, so that it comes around every time as the evocation of one's whole life and particularly of the most distant bits of it in childhood.
