Also? I'd like to take this moment to say just how much a LOATHE the "dancing sillhouette" mortgage ads that have proliferated EVERYWHERE on the Internets.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nutty, you have depressed me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Little Match Girl was your favorite story? Was Shoah your favorite movie?
Heh. Nope, I never saw that.
When I was about five, sad songs about death were my favorites. I mean, they made me really sad to listen to, but they were still my faves. Like "My Grandfather's Clock." My favorite line was ,"And it stopped short, never to go again, when the old man died." I had a windup toy clock that played that song - loved that thing.
Oh, and "Hang Down Your Head, Tom Dooley."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, in other news, the office manager came in a little bit ago, looked at my three file cabinets, and said, "Looks like you could use some help here." Um, YEAH. Moving files is not my job here. @@

It's actually New Year's Eve, but a Christmas tree does turn up. I always liked The Steadfast Tin Soldier. Which isn't Christmassy, but is equally depressing.

I kinda' remember that one. Yeah, I liked that one a lot too. I'll have to read it [link] when I get a chance.
