Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Thanks for Reading!
This is my first Christmas writing this newsletter, since I started in March of this year. Soon, it will be in its second year. I’m impressed with the readership I’ve gotten here, and I’m thankful that so many people read and follow my daily posts here. Many of you also pay, which I’m also very thankful for. That helps make this viable. But so does seeing the email list and the daily pageviews grow month after month. I’ve got two articles out, one yesterday and one today, and I’ll just drop them here, although I’ll do follow-up posts about them here as well. I’ll probably be doing a couple of more Christmas posts too—remember, Christmas Day is just the first day of Christmas. The Curious Rise of the Complicated Christmas Song, The Bulwark Pennsylvania Should Embrace Its Heritage by Restoring Railways, RealClearPolicy Whatever holidays you celebrate, I hope you’ve also managed to make the best of a tough year. And a very merry Christmas to all of you who are celebrating today! Thank you, again, for reading! You’re a free subscriber to The Deleted Scenes. For the full experience, become a paid subscriber. |
