Merry Christmas!
I’m kinda on Christmas vacation now. I’ll be back… eventually. Anyway, I’ll still have some Pajamas Media columns going up (maybe a special one for tomorrow), so keep checking back.
Have an honorable Christmas!

Merry Christmas! But this is two years in a row without the katana-wielding snowman header, so it is just a little less merry than it might have been.

Jesus was likely born in the Autumn of 2 B.C.
It is up to us to celebrate whenever we want and I think metaphorically the winter solstice serves well. Someday soon Christ himself will be the ruler of this world. And our great-grandchildren will speak of us as proud heroes who endured the dark cold night of Luciferian power.

“Be broken, you peoples, and be dismayed;
give ear, all you far countries;
gird yourselves and be dismayed;
gird yourselves and be dismayed.
Take counsel together, but it will come to nought;
speak a word, but it will not stand,
for God is with us. (Imman’u-el)”
– Isaiah 8:9-10
Let all mortal flesh keep silence, and with fear and trembling stand;
Ponder nothing earthly-minded, for with blessing in his hand
Christ our God to earth descendeth; our full homage to demand.
King of kings, yet born of Mary, as of old on earth he stood,
Lord of lords in human vesture; in the Body and the Blood -
He will give to all the faithful his own self for heav’nly food.
Rank on rank the host of heaven spreads its vanguard on the way,
As the Light of Light descendeth from the realms of endless day,
That the power of hell may vanish as the darkness clears away.
At his feet the six-winged seraph; Cherubim with sleepless eye,
Veil their faces to the Presence, as with ceaseless voice they cry,
“Alleluia, alleluia! Alleluia, Lord Most High!”
– Liturgy of St. Jude, 4th century AD
Have an old-fashioned Christmas!

Now, now, Jimmy, only the authors here are allowed to have multiple personalities! Nevertheless, I hope he gets a nice present in the morning. Can’t have our personalities angry.

THE TRUCE OF CHRISTMAS
by G. K. Chesterton
PASSIONATE peace is in the sky –
And in the snow in silver sealed
The beasts are perfect in the field,
And men seem men so suddenly –
(But take ten swords and ten times ten
And blow the bugle in praising men
For we are for all men under the snn,
And they are against us every one
And misers haggle and madmen clutch
And there is peril in praising much,
And we have the terrible tongues uncurled
That praise the world to the sons of the world).
The idle humble hill and wood
Are bowed about the sacred birth,
And for one little hour the earth
Is lazy with the love of good –
(But ready are you, and ready am I,
If the battle blow and the guns go by;
For we are for all men under the sun,
And they are against us every one;
And the men that hate herd all together,
To pride and gold, and the great white feather,
And the thing is graven in star and stone
That the men who love are all alone).
Hunger is hard and time is tough,
But bless the beggars and kiss the kings,
For hope has broken the heart of things,
And nothing was ever praised enough.
(But hold the shield for a sudden swing
And point the sword when you praise a thing,
For we are for all men under the sun,
And they are against us every one,
And mime and merchant, thane and thrall
Hate us because we love them all,
Only till Christmastide go by
Passionate peace is in the sky).

Correction to #19: Liturgy of St. James, vs Jude.
Barb, great poem. I hadn’t read that one before. G.K. Chesterton rocks!
