"Every night is Christmas Eve on old East Main"

Wed Aug 16 05:31:53 CDT 2017

Have you all forgotten, as I had, that the couple-three days
Ishmael and Queequeg spend together, sleeping together,
sharing their respective religious traditions
before the *Pequod *sails are the days before Christmas,
most interestingly Christmas Eve?

The *Pequod *sailed on Christmas day.

Ah, Herman, you sly wonderful genius.
