1420!

Merry Christmas to you too.

Incidentally, I'm celebrating an entire 7 years on the Downs. How time flies.

Congrats on your septenary anniversary, Lush.

And joyeux noel to all!

I am currently half way through an excellent bottle of merlot and listening rather nostalgically to Jethro Tull's 'Christmas Song', perhaps my favorite holiday tune:

Once in a royal David's city
Stood a lonely cattle shed
Where a mother held her baby.
You'd do well to remember the things he later said.

When you're stuffing yourselves at the Christmas parties
You'll just laugh when I tell you to take a running jump.
You're missing the point I'm sure does not need making:
The Christmas spirit is not what you drink.

So how can you laugh when your own mother's hungry,
And how can you smile when the reasons for smiling are wrong?
And if I've just messed up your thoughtless pleasures
Remember, if you wish, this is just a Christmas song.

(Hey! Santa! Pass us that bottle, will you?)

Thumbs up

One of my favourite Christmas songs is actually by Dave Matthews. It's not very Orthodox, but it's beautiful and sad. Like this stanza, towards the end:

Father up above, why in all this hatred,
Do you fill us up with love, love, love?
... And the blood of our children all around.


And, of course, there's the Ukrainian Bell Carol, which is actually called Schedrik, Schedrik in the original, and has to do with a swallow flying in to a house and predicting a prosperous year for the family. It's a very haunting tune, for a happy, happy song.

It's a new year song, originally, isn't it?

Here's it in Ukrainian: Shedrik

And here's the Trans Siberian Orchestra's version: Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24

Ditto for what I said last year.

Hmmm...that's not very sincere, is it?

*sighs*

Well, it may be Christmas for some, but it's Festivus for the rest of us!

Okay, channeling Seinfeld isn't very appropriate either.

In any case, I'd loike to leave you wif' anotha Jethro Tull Christmas song -- in keepin' wif' th' season 'n' all, and wif' me previously posted pla'itudes. Lor' bless you and your'n.

Through long December nights we talk in words of rain or snow,
while you through chattering teeth reply and curse us as you go.
Why not spare a thought this day for those who have no flame
to warm their bones at Christmas time?
Say Jack Frost and the Hooded Crow.

Now as the last broad oak leaf falls, we beg consider this:
there's some who have no coin to save for turkey, wine or gifts.
No children's laughter round the fire, no family left to know.
So lend a warm and a helping hand:
say Jack Frost and the Hooded Crow.

As holly pricks and ivy clings, your fate is none too clear.
The Lord may find you wanting, let your good fortune disappear.
All homely comforts blown away and all that's left to show
is to share your joy at Christmas time
with Jack Frost and the Hooded Crow.

Through long December nights we talk in words of rain or snow,
while you, through chattering teeth, reply and curse us as you go.
Why not spare a thought this day for those who have no flame
to warm their bones at Christmas time?
Say Jack Frost and the Hooded Crow.

This is what went through my mind:


Person 1: Pippin Christmas. Stop discriminating him.

Person 2: But they're both Hobbits from the East of the Brandywine. Aragorn Christmas, anyone?

P1: But they're both humans. That's discrimination. How about Legolas Christmas?

P2: Or Gimli Christmas?

P3: This is getting ridiculous... why even bother sticking to Tolkien? How about an Eönwë Christmas?

P1 and P2: *simultaneously* Uh... that is Tolkien...

P3: I meant the BDer

I thought you were going to go for Another Christmas Song (Or was that your plan for next year?), but I suppose this one works just as well.

Actually, my friends and I (when I started doing this six years ago, so no "come up with that" tomfoolery out of you!) decided to appropriate all the other characters to all the other holidays (real or imagined) that exist throughout the year.

So I expect all of you to wish your friends a very William Huggins Arbor Day this coming year.

P1: So we're agreed on Meriadoc Christmas, right?

P2: Yeah, Merry isn't his full name, Kalimac doesn't sound right with English, and Shagrat and Teleporno... erm...

P3: Yeah, Meriadoc Christmas.

P1: Right.

P2: Yeah.

P3: So how about New Year? We can't use Meriadoc again.

P1: Or the others...

P2: I kind of liked P3's idea before. We don't need to stick to Tolkien, let's go for other mythologies.

P3: You mean like Njord New Year?

P1: Or Prometheus New Year?

P2: Quetzalcoatl New Year?

P3: How about Hapi New Year? It has a kind of ring to it (no pun intended).

P1: Pun, what pun?

P3: Because it's a Tolkien forum...

P1: Erm... ok. But yeah, I agree, Hapi New Year does sound good.

P2: Yeah.

P3: So we're agreed: Meriadoc Christmas and a Hapi New Year.

THE END

Happy New Year, Barrow Downs!

Now that that's settled, are you going to take on Kwanzaa? (a little late for Chanukkah, I'm afraid)

Won't be the new year for another 11 hours, here, but a Happy one to all!
