What did she mean by no compliments of the season? Was it coded phrase implying agnosticism—or alcohol? Or just what?

Thank you! Enjoy your first American Christmas if you’re spending it here.

Reading, and rereading many of my favorite classic novels (including Middlemarch and most Austen) has been an important comfort during this chaotic and exhausting time, and this newsletter has inspired me to read some new things (like the Calculation of Volume books). I appreciate your work and look forward to seeing what comes next.
