For the first time since I started History in the Margins, I’m going to take a planned break from blogging.*  Unless I stumble across something that I feel I absolutely need to tell you RIGHT NOW, I’ll be back on January 3.

In the meantime, have a merry/jolly/happy/blessed time as you celebrate the victory of light over the darkness  in the tradition of your choice.

*Which is not to say that there haven’t been some unplanned gaps.
