Attentive Power Line readers will

Attentive Power Line readers will probably have noticed that I am from South Dakota, and return there periodically. A few weeks ago, I came across a very fine essay called Dakota Thanksgiving by J. Bottum, books and arts editor for the Weekly Standard. Then, just a few days ago, my brother the Rocket Prof called my attention to this equally fine essay by Mr. Bottum, Dakota Christmas. I can’t do better this holiday season than to recommend both of these lovely pieces to you. Whether or not you have any connection to South Dakota, I think you’ll like them.
