I had a surprisingly emotional reaction to the massive bulk of Kings College Chapel, not because I have any particular relation to the church per se, but because it had become our family tradition, when I was a child, to decorate our tree on Christmas Eve while listening to A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, broadcast live from this building. Seeing it in person grounded a series of happy moments of my childhood and took me back to those pleasant memories.
