One Christmassy thing.
There’s one seasonally appropriate thing I’ve been doing this Christmas: listen to the Penguin Podcast version of Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol. This is effectively a free-as-in-beer audio book in five parts, a little present from Penguin Books.
I got myself a Samsung flash player (I don’t want to call it “mp3 player” because it even plays Ogg Vorbis files) for my birthday a bit earlier this month. So I’ve been trudging through the busy streets of Paris hearing about Ebenezer Scrooge getting visits by a string of ghosts and spirits. Not bad at all. I even got a bit emotional in some places.
If you want it, download it now: the files are only available until January 3.
And for those who might be looking for a different take on the classic, Rich aka drBacchus has also recorded his own version over the past few days…

Joyeux Noël et Bonnes fêtes de Noël ma douce, j’espère que tu vas bien. Mes meilleurs voeux pour l’année à venir. Bises de Nath, à bientôt.
