Merry Christmas

Post by CJ DIXON »

I would like to sincerely wish everyone a very safe and very happy Christmas ... and if it takes a bit of eggnog and rum to make it happy, then so be it :)

Merry Christmas everyone.
Cheers,
CJ

WHoa, surprised you're allowed to even say Christmas up there....
But I'll take it!


BTW, how does one ensure a 'safe' Christmas?

Tell us something.: I am interested in the uilleann pipes and their typical -and broader- use. I have been composing and arranging for the instrument lately. I enjoy unusual harmonic combinations on the pipes. I use the pipes to play music of other cultures.

Oh, for some, I'm sure that it'll be just another day to skip the medication, to fuss at the kids who are probably just chips off the ole broken cinder block of sorts, and to spend the day on C&F and other piping and music sites insulting people.

With that said....Merry....Merry....Merry Christmas.

As Stephen Colbert relates...its not exclusive or insulting to wish a non celebrator of the holiday a Merry Christmas. It is inclusive. Just think of it as inviting a foreign exchange student to a 4th of July parade and BBQ to show 'em a good time. Oh yeah, go buy more gifts so, as Walter Jowers intimates, your local governments can collect more tax money for their schemes and other illegitimate vote buying programs.

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.
An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
But the angel said to them,

"Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.
Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.
This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."

Luke 2:8-14


MERRY CHRISTMAS!
