Brilliant and totally unexpected. Small correction Nadolig with an "i" not
"y" though it would sound pretty well the same.

Many thanks.


i certainly can't match richard's competence in welsh, but i can say
that i wish you and yours the following sentiment in authentic carolinian,
phonetically expressed thusly: "mary chreeusmus, beel!"

FWIW, it wasn't all Cymraeg, and I'm pretty sure damned few folks,
myself included, are actually _competent_ in it. Heck, I once asked
what a cant...er, "Welsh choir" was singing.

The answer?

They don't know...

OK, now I'm pretty sure there IS a "y" and another "e" or two in
Beel...at least there are in some parts of Dixie...

Guido Sarducci pretty much sums up my attitude toward Christmas:

Don't know that he says much about Christmas itself, but I definitely
agree with him about that damned song. Putting aside all of the
"novelty" songs (Barking Jingle Bells, Grandma Got Run Over, Leroy the
Redneck Reindeer, etc.), LDB has got to be the worst song of the
season.

Ah, yes. Kitt's rendition is undoubtedly the definitive version
against which all others are judged (and found wanting). There are a
few others in that category, songs I'd just as soon never hear
anybody else attempt. White Christmas by Bing Crosby, Rudolph the Red
Nosed Reindeer by Gene Autry, and The Christmas Song by Johnny Mathis
come to mind immediately. I'm sure there are others.

The one Christmas song that always gets me is the one with the line,
"I'll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams..." Brings that
bittersweet thing on. There's always a war someplace that was
supposed to be over by Christmas.

There's always someone down at the fire station working on the eve and
the day. There are cops and doctors and infrastructure repair people
out there.

But it's the soldier aspect that gets me every time.

I think it was a Bing Crosby song.

Often taunted by trout. Almost entirely harmless. Really.
