On the Feast of Stephen ...

For the Feast of St. Stephen, Dec. 28, a memory from Spouse Calls Christmas past:

It wasn’t very deep and crisp and even, but snow did lie ‘round about, as we drove away from Prague, the birthplace of King Wenceslas.

I woke up, recognizing the tune trickling from the speakers as we drove through the whitened countryside. (Click to read entire column.)
