I’m not sure how much I’ll be able to be online in the next few days,
with family over and such, but I wanted to wish everyone a pleasant
and safe holiday season.
Make sure your solstice is merry!

It was fairly merry, I reckon.
Depending on how you celebrate it, the merriment lasts until the 27th on the Feast of St. John Evangelist.
Have a merry, beautiful (if not white), Christmas everyone.
Behave yourselves. I eagerly await all your gifts. ![]()
Hoo-ray Jake and Hoo-ray John,
Breakin’ Up Christmas all night long.
Way back yonder a long time ago
The old folks danced the do-si-do
Way down yonder alongside the creek
I seen Santy Claus washin’ his feet.
Santa Claus come, done and gone,
Breaking up Chrismas right along.
Merrry Christmas/Happy Holidays Ya’ll from the mountains of Appalachia
Here’s my favorite Christmas song for everyone who’s going home for the holidays.
Christmas Time’s A-Comin’
by Tex Logan (professor of mathematics at MIT and fiddler with Bill Monroe)
Christmas Time’s A-Comin’
Christmas Time’s A-Comin’
Christmas Time’s A-Comin’
And I know I’m goin’ home.
Snow flake’s a-fallin’
My old heart’s a-callin’
Tall pine’s a-hummin’
Christmas Time’s A-Comin’.
Can’t you hear them bells ringin’, ringin’
Joy, don’tcha hear them singin’
When it’s snowin’, I’ll be goin’
Back to my country home.
Christmas Time’s A-Comin’
Christmas Time’s A-Comin’
Christmas Time’s A-Comin’
And I know I’m goin’ home.
White candle’s burnin’
My old heart’s a-yearnin’
For the folks at home when
Christmas Time’s A-Comin’.
Can’t you hear them bells ringin’, ringin’
Joy, don’tcha hear them singin’
When it’s snowin’, I’ll be goin’
Back to my country home.
Christmas Time’s A-Comin’
Christmas Time’s A-Comin’
Christmas Time’s A-Comin’
And I know I’m goin’ home.
Holly’s in the window
Home’s where the wind blows
Can’t walk for runnin’
Christmas Time’s A-Comin’.
Can’t you hear them bells ringin’, ringin’
Joy, don’tcha hear them singin’
When it’s snowin’, I’ll be goin’
Back to my country home.
Christmas Time’s A-Comin’
Christmas Time’s A-Comin’
Christmas Time’s A-Comin’
And I know I’m goin’ home.
Christmas Time’s A-Comin’
Christmas Time’s A-Comin’
Christmas Time’s A-Comin’
And I know I’m goin’ home.
Driving through the bush
In a rusty Holden ute
Dust and sweat and flies
Christmas time is beaut
It’s Christmas day already here in Eastern Australia. A cool change came through a few hours ago which means that it will be legal to have barbeques today. It’s still shorts and tee shirt weather though.
Happy festive season to all.
