Merry Christmas! I was halfway through a convoluted deep dive into the ambiguous origins of “The Little Drummer Boy” and fact-checking various accounts of the 1914 Christmas Truce before I realized that I was breaking my own rule about taking a vacation! I’ll be back in the new year with another normal issue of Syllabus. In the meantime, enjoy this new cover of “Fairytale of New York” (frequently voted the UK’s favorite Christmas song) performed last week by Hozier on SNL.
