> クリスマス… 悪くはないわね、こういうの。提督、私は好きよ。少し…酔いそう。

I can understand pretty much everything but the use of こういうの in there, is
there something I'm missing? Is the speaker just reinforcing the statement
they've said before? I'm not sure how or why こういうの is there or what it adds to
the sentence.

question
grammar meaning word-order
Having trouble wrapping my head around こういうの in this sentence
I think the word order is reversed in the first sentence (in that the
predicate is placed in front of its arguments).

In the normal order the sentence would be:

> こういうのは悪くない

That leaves us with クリスマス, and this part doesn't seem well connected to the
rest of the sentence. One way to think about it is an apposition with こういうの.
Another is to think it as a separate, one-word sentence that just observes
that "[I see that] it's Christmas."
