Requested by Joshua, For Unto Us a Child is Born, sung a capella by GLAD. The Bible verse is Isaiah 9:6, the music from Handel’s Messiah.
If the world ever needed Christmas, it needs it now.

Where Will This Stop?
Before we expose you to any more craziness-inducing Christmas music, here’s a reminder that an awful lot of people have already gone around the bend.
J.K. Rowling, the creator of Harry Potter–who, a few years ago, for no reason that readily presents itself, declared that one of her major characters, Dumbledore, was “gay”–has become the target of “a deluge of attacks” by the usual LGBT crowd–for defending a researcher who lost her job for saying “men cannot change into women” (https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/12/19/j-k-rowling-faces-deluge-of-attacks-from-lgbtq-community-over-transgender-tweet/). I wonder how deeply she had to research that.
Rowling’s controversial tweet: “Call yourself whatever you like… But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real?”
Why can’t you say that?
And here on our side of the Atlantic, the American Civil Liberties Union has demanded that tampons be made available in men’s rest rooms (https://www.foxnews.com/us/aclu-tampons-mens-room-menstrual-equity)–in order to achieve “menstrual equity” for “every person who menstruates.”
They’re all nuts.
It is as if our ruling class and whoopee crowd woke up one morning and declared, “Hey! We want transgender! Our civilization’s goin’ nowhere without transgender!” And leaped out of bed to impose their will on everybody.
It shouldn’t be necessary to say that men are men and can’t change into women, and women are women and can’t change into men. But now we’re headed to a point where no one is allowed to say that. Even though it’s true.
I don’t know about you, but it unnerves me to think that powerful, influential, college-educated persons are pushing this insanity–that they’ve got hold of the steering wheel and stomped the pedal to the metal, heading straight for the edge of the cliff.
This is not good, and it really has to stop.

Warning! Christmas Music Ahead
Byron the Quokka here, folks–and it’s time to get serious. That’s why I’m trying to look serious in this picture.
As much as we’re enjoying our Second Annual Christmas Carol Contest, and as much as we want all of you to enjoy it, too, we haven’t forgotten that a Scientist has warned the world that too much Christmas music can make you crazy. Crikey! We don’t want our readers bouncin’ off the walls and yellin’ “I am a captain in the Queen’s Nay-vee!”
Well, we think you can avoid going crazy if you only listen to these carols one or two or three at a time, and then stop and either take a cold shower or run around the block reciting some of the Canterbury Tales.
Or you could just ignore the whole business and listen to as many carols as you please! That’s what I always wind up doing.
I’m Byron the Quokka, and I approve this message!
‘Jandra’s Nasty Toothed Bird’ (2016)
If you’ve read much of my Bell Mountain series, you’ll know that Jandra is the toddler prophetess through whom God spoke to make Ryons a king. And you’ll know that, wherever she goes, she has a hissing toothed bird that follows her around.
Many readers wished to see that bird. The enclosed video was about the closest thing I could find to it. (And look at this! Mr. Genius has just erased the video accidentally, as he was trying to post it. Well, let me see if I can get it back… Got it!)
Feel free to completely ignore the evolution fairy tale that comes with the video.
By Request, ‘Good Christian Men Rejoice’
Requested by TheWhiteRabbit for his birthday yesterday evening, but held over till this morning to give it a fair shake in the carol contest–Good Christian Men Rejoice, by the Kings College Choir at Cambridge.
Dogs Take TV Too Seriously
Some dogs understand that television isn’t real, which is more than can be said for humans who watch CNN. But the dogs in these videos haven’t attained that level of sophistication.
It’s fun to watch how high they can jump up and down, trying to get a better look at what’s inside the funny box; but it would be nice to clue them in. Thinking what you see on TV is real must be a heavy burden.
By Request, ‘Silent Night’
Who said you can’t play hymns on a banjo? This video proves them wrong.
Requested by Lydia, Silent Night, a banjo solo by Michael Staun with simply gorgeous background photos. Just beautiful!
A New Candidate, with a New Plan!
The former Exalted Eunuch of the Babylonian Revival Party has entered the race for the 2020 Democrat presidential nomination–and according to an unreliable source, he’s already polling like gangbusters.
Nabopolassar Jones, a phrenologist from somewhere in Michigan, is running for president on a promise to extend public employees’ retirement pensions unto the third generation. “If you’re a teacher in one of our great public schools,” says Jones, “you shouldn’t have to worry about how your children, your grandchildren, or your great-grandchildren are going to support themselves. When I’m in the White House, your pension will keep on going after you’re gone, and it will support your posterity until they’re gone.”
Jones was almost instantaneously endorsed by America’s largest teachers’ unions, the National Education Assn. and the American Federation of Teachers. “Education is our country’s most important product!” exclaimed NEA vice-commissar Mamie Bulganin. “A country can never have too many young people getting degrees in Gender Studies! But before higher education can happen, public education has to happen. And that takes money, and puh-lenty of it!”
Other public employees’ unions are expected to endorse Mr. Jones before the day is out.
Other Democrat candidates have also hopped on board. “I’ve always believed in perpetual pensions,” said Democrat front-runner Joe Biden. “It would really ease my mind if I didn’t have to worry about how my son Hunter was going to support himself after I’m gone.”
“I was just about to suggest this myself!” said Elizabeth Warren.
“Perpetual pensions for everyone, including currently incarcerated felons!” said Bernie Sanders.
Suddenly Nabopolassar Jones is the man to beat.
