What a lovely Christmas present. I did not think I would ever write anything that ended up on the top of HN.

I'm the author of the top answer, and I believe that this is the top-voted thing that I ever posted on any StackExchange site. It was a lovely surprise to see it here today, and I hope that everyone else enjoyed reading it. Merry Christmas!

Every few weeks or so the last decade, someone has upvoted the question. Always interesting to see the difference between this question and essentially everything else I've ever written.

Thanks for the answer btw, it was enlightening. I can't help but remember the first lines in my mind each time I get the upvote notification ("Drumroll... !").

Great question.
