Ron Bulman Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) It wouldn't be Christmas without Elfis would it? As in "It Won't be Christmas Without You". But Bleu Christmas is much more popular. Edited December 23, 2022 by Ron Bulman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Zartman Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) Twas the night before Christmas and all through the forum The members were fighting with no sense of decorum The invectives were posted on the front page with care In spite of Nicholas Katzenbach's memo right there The skeptics were wrestled all smug in their LED's With delusions of lone nuts sniping some heads But DiEugenio in his paragraphs, and Larsen in his caps Were endlessly debunking all the LN's bullcrap When out on the thread there arose such a clatter An argument so bad I got mad as a hatter Just as I thought tempers had cooled and relationships might mend Here we go with some more Tucker again To the red X on the window I flew like a flash And the button on my mouse I frantically started to mash But the debate had gotten so far off the track I almost wished that the Hickey theory was back When, what to my wondering eyes should behold A document release containing much gold! I unzipped the file and scanned all the scans E-mailed it to the Kindle in my hot little hands Read the PDF's and started scratching my head Because it seemed to be something I'd already read I knew in a moment it must be some kind of trick I turned and addressed my complaint to St. Nick He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work Filled their stockings with coal and called Biden a jerk And laying his finger aside of his nose And giving a nod, down the memory hole it goes He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle And away they all flew like a Cuban air missile But with a wink he exclaimed, as his eye with me contacted "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a REDACTED!"

W. Niederhut Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 (edited) Well done, Denny! Any friend of doggerel verse is a friend of mine. As for Christmas music, I like everything from Medieval chant to Palestrina, Bach, and Handel to Ella Fitzgerald, Satchmo, and Sting. My ultimate favorites are probably John Eliot Gardiner's ethereal recording of Handel's Messiah, with the English Baroque Soloists, and Anglican carols by Sir David Willcocks and the King's College Choir at Cambridge. Here's King's College Choir performing a Medieval English Christmas carol, Myn Lyking, with a melody by the late English composer, Sir Richard Runciman Terry. It's what Bruce Springsteen would call, "a little bit of heaven here on Earth." Edited December 24, 2022 by W. Niederhut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny Zartman Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Thanks everyone, much appreciated. Sorry for misspelling your name @Sandy Larsen. Think of it as my exceedingly clever tribute to David Lifton. 😉 Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Cotter Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Merry Christmas to Denny, the other contributors to this thread and all EF members. Since JFK’s paternal ancestors’ home was in County Wexford, the Wexford Carol might be appropriate: https://www.google.com/search?q=the+wexford+carol&tbm=vid&sxsrf=ALiCzsZ6yAyEKphnZdJZZ9bIRn80RzpgEQ:1671899514520&ei=eimnY_y1H5PdgQbHy4Ew&start=10&sa=N&ved=2ahUKEwj82qaF15L8AhWTbsAKHcdlAAYQ8NMDegQIDhAW&biw=1043&bih=421&dpr=3#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:111bbf35,vid:wLqkqHfLklQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
