Consistent with holiday tradition, I share this carol with you.
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

As your holiday present to yourself, you should binge it. Probably the best sitcom ever.

I tried to get into it a few times but it's so cringe, I couldn't even get through the 1st season LOL.

I guess it's different if you watched it back in the day, and it's pure nostalgia now.

The first season is the weakest of the bunch. It really hits its stride after that.

Every Christmas since we've had kids I've been doing feats of strength. I'm a f***ing training monster so continue to reign supreme but the writing is on the wall as the children will dethrone me eventually. The kids think this is a perfectly normal part of every family's Christmas tradition.

Keep in mind you are in charge of their food supply.
 
BTW, just watched this. I was vaguely aware of the Philly fans booing Santa and throwing snowballs story. Wasn’t aware if the OJ Simpson involvement. Booing wins? Wanting a better draft pick? The more things change… those fans would have fit right in on these boards. Lol.

As a Jew I have my own Christmas tradition - I’m off to Vegas! Happy holidays everyone! I posted this in the football thread but I’ll post it here as well to remind us all that even the lowly giants can do something right on Christmas.
