* "It always is Christmas Eve, in a ghost story,
"Christmas Eve is the ghosts' great gala night. On Christmas Eve they hold their annual fete. On Christmas Eve everybody in Ghostland who IS anybodyβor rather, speaking of ghosts, one should say, I suppose, every nobody who IS any nobodyβcomes out to show himself or herself, to see and to be seen, to promenade about and display their winding-sheets and grave-clothes to each other, to criticise one another's style, and sneer at one another's complexion...
"...Oh, it is a stirring night in Ghostland, the night of December the twenty-fourth!"
- Jerome K. Jerome
