Just wait until the investigations begin and this will seem like nothing..
3. Obstacles in our path
My attitude towards the Christmas thang, as in presents, cards, toasts etc., as distinct from the biblical side, was that this year was particularly good … the abode here looked festive, visitors found it not unadorned, plus there was a nice atmosphere between us neighbours here in the rabbit warren in the sky … in short, it was the best Xmas in years, maybe signs of a new trad hope out there.
As for the biblical side, the doctrinal points we could disagree upon are myriad, if we put those above past friendship … there are two cases here where obviously “other-denominational” friends seem to be no more but that immediately brings in that other major point …
Health. Seriously, chaps and chapesses … a dozen or so I know are doing this winter hard as the satanic commies do their worst … the chemtrail and vaxx poisoning etc.
On the plus side, we do have visiting here, plus the other way too, certain stalwarts whom I’d say, doctrinally, politically, just in general, might not be automatically thought of as our friends but we agree on quite enough, plus both parties care for the other. In the end, we are the sum of our attitudes and policy positions overall.
Plus huge thanks to those who add so much to what is able to be posted … even if I fall asleep, doesn’t mean it’s not appreciated.
Plus our belligerence level is off the scale out in public. Someone on X told us to stop with the Merry Christmas … it was upsetting so many it seemed … so a dozen MAGAs countered with Merry Christmas and I posted Onward Christian Soldiers, the hymn.
That’s pretty aggressive but we are what we are in this war for civilisation … we’re in a war zone called the West, even Christendom, though most readers here might advise to ease off a bit with the Christendom thing, others might shrug and say it’ll be done with as soon as Christmas passes.
In fact, I’ve Wenceslas, We Three Kings, Dame Kiri and the Baroque Christmas to go. Also held over is a youtube on Art Deco railways … just haven’t found a slot yet. There are two bdays tomorrow of our chaps … one is DAD, so it seems an auspicious day to bring to a close the Christmas season, even if this night now is the First Night of Twelve. Don’t intend to do those Nights as per last year, given Advent this year.

1. For those desperate to extend the festive cheer
… Andy steps in with this: “Jingle Bells Mongolian style. Quite catchy …”
I enjoyed this.
I began listening ( intermittently) to traditional style Mongolian about 3 years ago. Perhaps it is largely the novelty (to our ears), nut I usually enjoy it.
So far as I know-
no record burnings either.
