Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Today we cover the strangest Ukrainian writer, Nikolai Gogol, and his masterpiece "The Night Before Christmas" (Also translated to "Christmas Eve"). What a great tale about vanity and taking a swipe perhaps at people and their hypocrisy.
