All the Jingle Bells You Can Eat

A friend sent me the above video. Yes, they are singing Jingle Bells to give solace to Reiner Fuellmich, the anti-vax German lawyer. There has been no word of his travails in the clink. He got arrested when he went to renew his passport at the embassy in Mexico.

I must say when I stepped off the plane n Hawaii, I expected a confrontation of some kind, but only to fill out a questionnaire about what fruits we were bringing in, or sperm type thing. As we did in Oz in the good old days of Quaint-arse (aka Queensland And Northern Territory Air Service).  We owned it then, you know. I believe Johnny sold it. Probably to Emirates for a song.

OK, enough of the Politics; today is Xmas Eve.  Here are some songs, starting with Frank Sinatra’s Jingle Bells, and moving on to “Kelpie by my side,” 12 days of Aussie Christmas, Sleigh Ride, and I Still Call Australia Home.

Kleenex! Kleenex! Help! Ah, aren’t y’all lucky to have a sentimental slob on the payroll?  And I use the word ‘payroll’ in a most irresponsible manner.  By the way, please hit the Donate button to send Dee some caviar. She’s desperate for caviar.

Then, we get more ecclesiastical (and never forget: Extra Ecclesiam, nulla salus est.  Absolutely nulla, no exceptions, or possibly Ned). For those who want to go December 24th at full tilt, here are three marvelous carols to be sungen in die kirke: Minuit Chretien, Es ist ein rose entsprungen, and finally, Come Colours Rise (poetry by Frank Parry and music by Dee’s brother Grant McLachlan) — wit da woids!

Sinatra:

Sydney Beach Christmas

4 koalas cuddling

Gay Men’s Chorus, Sleigh Ride

Peter Allen’s Song

O Holy Night

Es Ist Ein Rose Entsprungen

 

Come Colours, Rise  — Sing along and learn some African words:

‘Neath summer skies this Christmas morn, To God our saviour son is born. Our infant nation newly formed, Like Jesus challenged by this dawn.

The Christian family open armed, By smiling infants doubly charmed. This day when we are truly blessed Renews our courage for His test.

Come, colours rise, Under African skies

Yi-zan-i zint-lang-a vu-ka-ni Phant-si kwe-zu-lu le Africa

Come, colours rise. Old fears subside. Let truth and freedom reign. Let truth and freedom reign.

From tabled altar, steepled krans, In khaya, or where campfires dance. From fruited valley, field of wheat, In hut or city let drums beat.

The messenger of love is here. The Christ-child whom we do revere. Has come immortal souls to save. From sin and everlasting grave.

Come, colours rise, Under African skies. Christ has come His will be done

Yi-zan-i zint-lang-a vu-ka-ni. Phant-si kwe-zu-lu le Africa,Yi-zan-i zint-lang-a vu-ka-niPhant-si kwe-zu-lu le Africa

Come, colours rise. Old fears subside. Let truth and freedom reign. Let truth and freedom reign.

We thank you mighty God on high. For mountains, sea and radiant sky. For rivers, veldt and fertile earth, But most of all for sacred birth.

All praise to Him our heav’nly king, With voices hearts and minds we bring. May joy about unshackled free, Our rainbow vision ever be.

Come, colours rise. Under African skies. Christ has come, His will be done

Yi-zan-i zint-lang-a vu-ka-ni Phant-si kwe-zu-lu le AfricaYi-zan-i zint-lang-a vu-ka-niPhant-si kwe-zu-lu le Africa, le Africa

Come, colours rise. Old fears subside. Let truth and freedom reign,. Let truth and freedom reign.

  3. Oops, they cheated me at YouTube. I asked for “Kelpie by my side” and they gave me Sydney beach.
    Here are the real woids, which you can sing as you visit the DO_NATE button:

    Dashing through the bush, In a rusty holden ute /Kicking up the dust, Esky in the boot! /Kelpie by my side, Singing Christmas songs/ It’s summertime, and I am in- -My singlet, shorts, and thongs! /Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! /Christmas in Australia on a scorching summer’s day, oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut! /[redact redact, redact redact] in a rusty Holden ute.
    Comes the afternoon, Ripper has a doze/ The kids and Uncle Bruce, Are swimming in their clothes!/ The time comes ’round to go, We take a family snap/ then pack the car and all shoot through- -Before the washing up!/

  4. Never(rarely) before have such a pathetic mob given so much to a seemly impossible but worthy task.
    Salute, and a very Merry Christmas to all, but mostly youse

    Dear friends, supporters and companions! ❤️

    What is so special about Christmas? 🎄✨ Why does this time of year touch us so intensely and make us feel deep in our hearts? Where do all these emotions come from at this extraordinary time of year? There can hardly be any talk of a relaxed pre-Christmas period, even on the day before Christmas Eve there is no peace or contemplation. 😆

    On the contrary, everything seems to be speeding up and everyone only functions on the outside. Nevertheless, a change has long been happening quietly on the inside that makes us feel different from the rest of the year.

    Perhaps it is the unconscious anticipation of the light that begins to grow stronger from Christmas Eve? Or the inner certainty that there will always be light again after a dark phase and that the new is already there, has been sown, but is not yet visible to us? That the light always conquers the darkness, because darkness is only the (temporary) absence of light. 

    Christmas is the time of hope, of anticipation and of the irrefutable knowledge that good is always there and that we can do something even in the darkest time (of the year). Lighting a candle, spreading light within us and around us, laughing, (giving) joy …

    This is contagious, because when many small candles are lit at the same time, together they shine as brightly as the sun, which is reborn at Christmas. This gives strength, courage and confidence to get through everything.

    During this time, we would like to remember all people who feel lonely and abandoned and who cannot spend this special time together with their loved ones. Let’s think of them, of all beings, send them a loving thought and wish them the best. ❤️🌟🍀

    Merry Christmas.

  7. I just got off the video yesterday posted by DdV of Gabbi Choong which does a real hatchet job on Xmas at the start, we no longer have xmas because it has reverted to Saturnalia, the date (25th) was chosen by Emperor Constantine, the tree with gifts under was a feature of Nimrod, Saturn-Satan-Santa is here full force and if you look at the US stuff they aren’t allowed to use “Christian privilege”, it is Festivus all the way, and Festivus has been appropriated by gays who have a festivus pole as their fertility symbol, not that 2 gays can breed but they like to pretend all sorts of stuff.

      • Australia should gift wrap Saturnalia/xmas and send the whole lot back to the northern winter solstice where it belongs

        • A word of warning
          From Jesus Himself
          For those who deny who He is
          And what He did
          And then proceed to do their own clean-up job:

          “When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.
          Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ On its return, it finds the house vacant, swept clean, and put in order.
          Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there; and the final plight of that man is worse than the first. So will it be with this wicked generation.”
          MATTHEW 12: 43 – 45
