Consistent with holiday tradition, I share this carol with you.
The lyrics are to a song in which a dreamer imagines a conversation with Archangel Gabriel about the first Christmas.

It is available below for non-commercial entertainment use to the viewer.
Anyone who has any question about this as a song and not just poetry form; or any other questions, please feel free to pm/start a conversation with me.

Title says it all...
Merry Christmas to everyone;
anyone observing any other holiday, appropriate holiday greetings and wishes to you as well

As they said in my generation, peace and love....

I wonder, I wonder
Dreamed a thought that imagined and came from afar
(a)bout Jesus and Christmas and Bethlehem’s star
I say, I said
Who can tell me, what does it mean?
on redeeming mankind, God would be so keen
Then
I heard, I heard
Arc(h)angel Gabriel’s voice came alive
take heed what he said, this is no jive
He said
Yes there was a star, one never had been so such raised
til on that first Christmas, God’s name be thus praised.
It was pretty much like any other star, really...
Oh but from
high in God’s heaven
high in God’s heaven
high in God’s heaven
high in God’s heaven
oh so high in God’s heaven, earth saw this bright ray
Jesus was now born this first Christmas Day
I say, I said
wow, what a picture this puts in my mind
How serve I the Lord, Who to us is so kind?
And in reply, he said, “Remember”
And now, as always
Millennia later, it’s still Christmas Day, all of creation it pauses from play
Arc(h)angels and choir they lead us and pray
sing behold,
sing behold
sing behold now the Christ child
born with us this day
Then yes, I awoke Good Gabe he was gone
And so, and so
In closing I have just one thing to say
Remember this story
Remember this story
every Christmas Day

pray for and support Ukraine

This is a time of "peace on earth to men [and all] of good will"
it is appropriate then that we now
must fight that from Putin which is unholy with that which is holy, including sacred music

Anyone want to invest in a movie I have been hallucinating about for the past decade or so?

Called "Frankenclaus", it's the story of Frankenstein's monster who gets loose from the lab on Christmas Eve and runs into Santa delivering gifts in Germany, or Austria, whatever. Anyway the monster is cold and afraid and slaughters Santa, puts his clothes on and gets in the sleigh, to rummage through the gift bag looking for food and supplies. The reindeer are all confused thinking it's Santa, so they speed off with the Monster in it thinking they need to keep schedule and deliver gifts. Obvious high jinx ensue where in some homes the Monster delivers the gifts normally and plays with sneaking children staying up late, and other times he eats them out of house and home and takes out the dad.

Ultimately the authorities who have been trying to take down this homicidal maniac the whole movie catches up with him in the town square. As they are ready to take him out with heavy weaponry, a human shield of caroling children form to protect Frankenclaus (he did deliver them gifts after all) thus reminding everyone of the true meaning of Christmas. He gets shot anyway.

Merry Christmas everyone!
