Christmas is a universal holiday observed by many if not most
accordingly, the NHL has no Dec 25 games, if I am not mistaken,
and as is pertinent to this thread, please submit whatever comments you may have
pro or con in support of or against the trade freeze policy.
That specific parameter should enable this thread to be qualified to this forum.
We fight each other tooth and nail over props the rest of the year
no reason we can't chill out a few days while there is a league moratorium
still post of course, but a little more peace on earth, etc., to go with it.
In lieu of background music
you are welcome to consider the following
as to the tone of the season
and as to any post you may wish to make....
Mods -
I request this be allowed to be posted thru the feast of the Epiphany [1st wk of Jan] or resumption of NHL trade activity whichever is earlier.
Thereafter, if it is not preferred to archive this thread, it can be deleted.

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.
Merry Christmas to all; 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
